Starbucks has introduced a new size for iced beverages - the TRENTA! Clocking in at a whopping 31oz, the Trenta is not for the casual iced coffee drinker. This is the "Big Gulp" of coffee. It is for the iced coffee fanatic - so I had to try one.
I have to say that my first impression was that anything containing 31 oz of fluid is really more like a bath tub than a plastic cup. It is a small bucket. I felt like an Olsen twin holding that massive Starbucks cup. Truth be told, it was actually a little heavy so I went to work.
The thing about trying make the cup lighter through consumption is....I ended up consuming about 16 oz in 10 minutes. And was WIRED!
The new addition to Starbucks' lineup is 325mL larger than Starbucks' previous largest size, the 20 oz Venti, and only costs an extra 50 cents. But I have to say that nobody needs this much coffee. In fact, the Trenta (916mL) is actually larger than the average capacity of the adult human stomach (900mL). Even for me, this is a little outrageous!
Total consumption time: 2 hours, 40 minutes
