[Photograph: National Post] Starbucks announced plans on Sunday to roll out their version of the Big Gulp: the new, massive, 31-ounce cup size called the Trenta.. (Trenta means thirty in Italian.) It will only be available for iced coffee and tea drinks, at $.50 more than a Venti. The rollout begins this week in 14 states, and will go nationwide by May 3.
During the 1950's a typical serving size of coffee was between 4 to 6 fl oz (118-177mL), but over the years our cup size has grown almost eight times since. Starbucks' smallest cup (short) is 8oz, while their largest cup (venti) is about 20-24oz.
