Starbucks wants you to have more coffee
 
The New Starbucks Trenta Cup Is Bigger Than Your Stomach

Quote:

Of course, it's not much—if any—different from a Big Gulp or any movie theater's large beverage container. But for some reason coffee's just that much more insidious. You'll be able to sample one for yourself when the Trenta rolls out nationwide by May 3rd

Yeah, but 3/4 of that volume is ice, which you don't drink anyway. I'm willing to bet the 916 mL is only 400 mL of liquid.

I'm willing to bet 916 mL of it is disgusting and overpriced.

they were going for class? since when?

to me, every other coffee shop (coffee bean & tea leaf especially) exudes more class than sbux.

Agree to both.

Danny: Can I get a large black coffee?
Barista: A what?
Danny: Large black coffee.
Barista: Do you mean a venti?
Danny: No, I mean a large.
Barista: Venti is large.
Danny: No, venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn't mean large. It's also the only one that's Italian. Congratulations, you're stupid in three languages.
Barista: A venti is a large coffee.
Danny: Really? Says who? Fellini? Do you accept lira or is it all euros now?

Please tell me this is in total jest, because grande is large in italian as well.

And yes, Starbucks was, and maybe still is going for class. But when you standardize your design over 10,000 stores, that's something you can never obtain.

Starbucks. Helping fat people maintain their level of fatness with a caffeine twitch on the side.
