JPhoenix, AZ – The bigger-is-better concept seems to be striking a chord among some Starbucks customers.

Starbucks will begin a phased-in nationwide rollout Tuesday of its Trenta cup size that can be filled with just shy of a quart’s worth of iced beverages such as coffee, tea and lemonade.
Starbucks Corp. says Trenta, which means 30 in Italian, will be 31 ounces and cost about 50 cents more than the 20-ounce Venti size.
The new cups will be introduced Tuesday in 14 states: Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, Nevada and Arizona.
California residents will be able to buy them beginning Feb. 1 and the nationwide rollout should be complete by May 3.
The expansion comes after the café chain tested the 31-ounce cup in several markets last year, including Phoenix, Tampa, Fla., and Atlanta.
So if I go in to starbucks and ask for a “20 oz” coffee instead of a “venti coffee” they will look at me as if I were stupid?
maybe they are nice because all starbucks employees, even part-time ones, get health care benefits
Hope your bladder can hold out.

Why isn’t it of interest to frum people. I know MANY frum people who go to Starbucks – lot’s of drinks are 100% kosher there.
the next size 50 oz will be called dementa coz 50 oz of coffee can send you zooming around like a loonry tune
The lemmings are at it again. Starbuck’s coffee is highly overrated. It is too bitter.
I’ll take Dunkin Donuts coffee over Starbucks any day.
Best coffee: 7-Eleven
Actually its second best – the best is Coffee Beanery.
