[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.
Serving Size: The industry standard for a cup is six ounces, but most people super-size their coffee to at least 16 ounces (that's a grande at Starbucks). That amount of coffee could deliver as much as 400 milligrams of caffeine. Studies suggest just 100 milligrams of caffeine (the amount in a six-ounce cup) are needed for the average person to get a lift â so watch out for buzz overload.
