For those who can’t make it an hour into the day without their morning coffee, here is the ultimate caffeine fix. On Feb. 1, Starbucks will release its new 31-ounce beverage size, the Trenta, in 14 select states, including California.
According to the company’s website, 60 percent of Starbucks’ iced tea customers currently
order the largest size available, the 24-ounce Venti. The Trenta, which is available for Starbucks
iced coffee and Tazo iced teas, provides seven more ounces of refreshment than the Venti and
costs 50 cents more.
The Trenta is 325 mL larger than the Venti, and at 916 mL, is actually larger than the capacity
of the average human stomach. However, unsweetened drinks will still hover around 90 calories,
while sweetened drinks will have around 230.
The Trenta will be released nationwide by May 3.
Do you think the Trenta is an awesome addition to the Starbucks family, or is 30 ounces too
much drink for one person?
