SuperSize My Drink

Starbucks to roll out biggest drink size yet - Business - Consumer news - Food Inc. - msnbc.com: "Starbucks Corp. will roll out its biggest drink size yet -- the 31-ounce 'Trenta' -- in all its U.S. coffee shops by May 3, the company said on Sunday.
The new size will be available only for iced coffee, iced tea and iced tea lemonade drinks in the United States. The Trenta is 7 ounces larger than Starbucks' 'Venti' cup for iced drinks, which currently is its largest size on offer.

...

McDonald's Corp., the world's biggest fast-food restaurant chain, has taken direct aim at Starbucks with frappes, fruit smoothies and espresso drinks such as lattes and cappuccino. It also has lured customers by selling 32-ounce sweet tea drinks for $1 each.

U.S. convenience stores, which have been taking on restaurant chains with an expanded selection of low-cost, quick-serve fare, for years have sold fountain drinks in large sizes, including 32 ounces and 64 ounces."
