Like the country needs the Trenta

I noticed Starbucks has announced a new size: the Trenta.  You'll be able to get 31 ounces (that's, like, a quart) of iced beverage goodness.

Can you imagine a Trenta Frappucino?  Perhaps they should call it "the widowmaker"

Funny.  Treinta means thirty in Spanish.  A 31-ounce Frapucino would definitely make you gain "treinta libras" before long.

Trenta means 30 in Italian and is fitting with Starbucks Venti taking from Italian for 20.

The similarity between Italian and Spanish wouldn't be surprising given the Latin language roots.

I gotta say it's your choice!  Personally I only drink blac****d tea w/ sweet n low....zero calories no matter how many ounces :).

As long as people are notified/educated about the calories/fat/carbs in what they are choosing to eat or drink, it's their responsibility.  I personally wish that restaurants put the nutritional info in their menu's.
