I'm going to extend a hearty thank you to Starbucks, for showing us once again what a gluttonous and disgusting society we are. The coffee company recently announced its new size...the Trenta. Though it sounds more like a pro wrestler than a drink size, you won't be able to wear any figure-revealing spandex after drinking this bad boy: expect your body to reveal one mad food-baby, because the contents of the Trenta are actually larger than the capacity of an average stomach.
The Trenta is 31 ounces, or 916 ml. The average capacity of an adult stomach is 900 ml. What could we possibly need a drink that is larger than our stomachs for?! Not only is the Trenta almost 4 times larger than the smallest Starbucks size (a "short"), but it can hold an entire bottle of wine (at an average of 750ml) with room to spare!
And just when you thought the North American obesity problem couldn't get any worse...
Frank Warren of PostSecret fame pointed out that it holds an entire bottle of wine. For those really hard days..
