Jan 18 2011The Trenta, Starbucks' New 31-Ounce Cup

Starting May 3rd, Starbucks will offer a 916mL (~31oz) 'Trenta' (Italian: stomach ulcer) cup for cold coffee dranks so you can finally score the double-shot of fatass buttcheeks you've always wanted. Come on baby, daddy wants to crack a toilet seat!
Graphic: How big, exactly, is Starbucks' new 'Trenta' size? [nationalpost]
Thanks to Alan, Robo-Arm (I'LL BREAK YOU!) and Max, who was just as surprised as The Superficial Writer they're not calling it the Britney Spears.

4. Steve - January 18, 2011 4:40 PM
Iced Coffee and tea only so forget your venti frap or venti ice mocha. Oh and they forgot to notify anyone that they were updating the software with the new trenta button so I accidentally charged someone for a trenta iced tea.....

Dear Starbucks,
Stop
6. McButt - January 18, 2011 4:47 PM
The picture is wrong -- a Venti is actually about 710 ml.
@Steve: I did the same thing today.

12. Jerry - January 18, 2011 5:17 PM
@ Allyson
his shit caught the bathroom on fire????
13. CptAmazing - January 18, 2011 5:25 PM
Trenta is italian for 30, not 31 oz.
14. the_tof - January 18, 2011 5:39 PM
What's really stupid is that whoever made this graphic took the pointless effort to translate everything into mililiters. Venti refers to the fact that it's 20 oz, and Trenta implies 30 oz.
The point is that the Trenta is bigger than a healthy sized human stomache. It's a good argument but it lost a lot of it's impact by awkwardly translating into metric volume instead of getting directly to the point.
15. blsully - January 18, 2011 5:47 PM
Yeah but since 3/4 of it is ice anyway, you're still only drinking the equivalent of a can of pop.
16. Massoccur - January 18, 2011 5:51 PM
It should have also showed a normal human bladder in the graphic :P
17. croud - January 18, 2011 6:16 PM
starSUCKS more like! amiright guys??
18. Louis (of nowhere in particular) - January 18, 2011 6:28 PM
And yet they still only have about 100 calories. That's hardly fatass territory.
19. freakinWRIGHT - January 18, 2011 6:36 PM
Hey now, I have cracked several toilet seats in my time. And let me tell you, it rocks. Did I say rocks? I meant hurts. Bad.
20. kd - January 18, 2011 6:58 PM
I work at a Starbucks in Austin, TX and the TRENTA is already out. Best part? We didn't get trained on how to make the enormous drinks, we can only make iced tea and iced coffee in them but the ratios are all effed up. Hurray.
21. xMrAnonymousx - January 18, 2011 7:47 PM
@14 you have my seal of approval
22. red pill junkie - January 18, 2011 8:33 PM
Forget about the size, man: what's the PRICE of that thing??
23. Toes - January 18, 2011 9:16 PM
Not only is this new "TRENTA" sized drink flipping enormous but I bet this damn bladder busting over caffeinated bastard costs $30 just because its Starbucks. @8 just wtf man??? @14 You make very good point.
24. andris - January 18, 2011 9:58 PM
Yeah except the ice cubes will make the REAL coffee volume ~610mls not 916mls. Which is still a lot but nowhere near the stated average capacity of a stomach.
25. misella - January 18, 2011 11:49 PM
@the_tof The graphic is mL because its a Canadian newspaper, which makes it convenient for us metric system users. I personally have no visual point of reference for an ounce; it would be like someone telling me their house is five kittens away, but less cute.
However, the newspaper did put the size for a hot rather than iced venti :(

so what happened? who cares? My boyfriend thinks the same as I do. He is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at agelessdates.c“0m a nice and free place for younger women andolder men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.
27. Das - January 19, 2011 12:09 AM
Meh. A large soda at most fast food/take out places is 32 oz.--which is a medium at most movie theaters, and the size of a Big Gulp from 7-11. Since it's only for iced coffee and tea, I really don't see what all the shock-and-awe at this is. And like @15 said, given how much ice is in the ice tea drinks especially, you're probably still getting less than 20 ounces of actual beverage. I can understand it's potentially a lot more caffeine, but just in terms of quantity? Nothing new.
28. Tazman - January 19, 2011 1:23 AM
@26 you sound like a one of those dirty gold diggers whores who date older men that are ready to die so you can steal everything from his bank account and take everything else that man has value and leave his poor kids with nothing but with a bad taste in their mouths and the urge to kill you.How long did it take you to get use to sucking on an old mans worm just to make some money. You should set up a video camera then press record and then set yourself on fire so that may all see you burn your worthless gold digging ass alive. Also Starbucks is good but that that flipping good. After drinking that much of their product it would put holes in your gut, cause you to piss out kidney stones like a machine gun then cause your bladder to pop like a water balloon then drop dead from a heart attack because of the caffeine. That's just way to damn much.

What is Italian for "Big Gulp?"
30. Louis - January 19, 2011 10:30 AM

I can never remember those stupid names. Why can't they just call them small medium and large (and now extra large)!

@31 Why don't you call me hello.
@29 uomo grasso drink XD !
33. DeathBotGamma - January 19, 2011 2:42 PM
Enjoy fat-tat-tat-tys
34. NeoMod - January 19, 2011 3:23 PM
" Trenta " doesen't stand for " stomach ulcera" in italian. It it just the translation of the numeral 30.
"Ulcera" is actually the name commonly used in italian to indicate a small erosion in the gastrointestinal tract.
35. NeoMod - January 19, 2011 3:32 PM
@29 The correct translation, if you intend "Gulp!" as surprise would be " Grande Sorpresa!". Otherwise if you intend the joke between Gulp! - Drink than in Italian this could be rended as " Gran Bella Bevuta!".
@32 Traduci cortesemente avendo conoscenza di ciò che scrivi, altrimenti escono fuori baggianate come quella del topic dove "trenta" va a significare ulcera gastrica.

Didn't 7/11 have a super big gulp that was 44 Oz and a Double Gulp which was 64? This seems tiny.
38. Hellangel669 - January 21, 2011 6:53 AM
trenta=30, in italian. there using trenta for a 31 ounce drink. I believe their math is off. Trentuno is your correct answer. dumb fucks.
39. Laszlo Woodbine - January 21, 2011 8:49 PM
Not big enough. 32 ounces is not enough for today's gastropod. We need at least 64 oz. How is a man supposed to get diabetes on 32 oz? That won't even make you fat, and being FAT as a boxcar of bacon is the whole goddamn point of life!
I want coffee and far too much of it now!

@34 - I do believe the author was using something called "sarcasm"... you might want to look it up.
