Starbucks Drinks Getting BIGGER?!


Starbucks is currently testing a 31-ounce drink. This is about 4 cups of coffee or almost 1 liter. Talk about staying awake or getting a jolt...

So you may think why and what would they call something so huge? Well... they have named the new size "Trenta", after the Italian word for 30.

Right now, stores in Phoenix and Tampa are testing out the new size, which is 30% larger than previous Starbucks world record holder "Venti," at 24 ounces.

According to reports, the larger size is a hit with customers. McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts already sell 32-ounce drinks, but we do wonder why Starbucks would want to follow in their super sized footsteps.

What do you think of the "Trenta"? Too large or can't wait to get my hands on one? We think that getting bigger isn't better. Bigger drinks will allow for much higher calorie counts and increased dependance on caffeine.
