Starbucks to Introduce 31 oz. Cup in US

[Priran]

I saw that too, and that's either a) a mistake, b) bullshit, or c) they're limiting the drinks available in this size.

The grande White Chocolate Mocha has 410 calories. The grande Caramel Macchiato is 240, and a grande latte is still 190 calories.

The coffee frappacino is 240 calories at a grande, but the Java Chip is 440 at a grande, and this is all pulled from Starbucks' own website.

You're basically doubling all of those values for these drinks when you put them in that cup size. I love me a white chocolate mocha, but what the hell am I going to do with 31 oz of it?

The new size will be available only for iced coffee, iced tea and iced tea lemonade drinks in the United States.

Herp Derp indeed.

I'm self-facepalming, don't worry.

Also, speaking from past experience, I wonder how long it'll take at my local Starbucks before someone asks and receives a 31 oz iced caramel macchiato. Starbucks is goes well above and beyond normalcy at giving the customer what they want, and I hate them for that.

I get venti passion tea lemonades now, looking forward to new size.

Not sure what the big deal is or the negativity is for... we are talking iced drinks, where the majority of the cup is filled with ice and not liquid half the time. Starbucks is at least lighter on the ice than dunkin donuts though, so it still is a lot to drink. If I get a large at DD, they scoop the ice in first, all the way to the top - there is like 3 drops of fucking coffee in it. What the fuck am I going to do with that.

Get a brainfreeze for drinking it too fast... slow down JESUS!

what's the big deal here?

unsweetened drinks in the new size will have fewer than 90 calories and that sweetened versions will have less than 230 calories.

I could see if it was like, a 31 oz. coffee with like 800 calories or something but this seems like people making a fat joke out of a molehill

Don't confuse per serving with per big ass cup

You know I'm black. Why task me w/ the impossible?

[solanis]

this just makes me think of the calorie legislation in a lot of states now, where places like starbucks and other "fast food/instant preperation" places have to list the calorie content of each item on the menu, and sometimes even the packaging. if people are aware of the calories they're drinking and yet continue, that is the definition of freedom! fuck yea

I know that this is not for coffee, but isn't coffee supposed to have very few calories? And i think i eyed some numbers of upwards of 100 calories in someone's post here.

They should hold the cream.

Black coffee has some completely negligible amount of calories. However, Starbucks drinks are only like 1/3 coffee to begin with and the rest is milk, cream, sugar, chocolate, and crap like that.

This is why going to starbucks never made any sense to me in terms of iced coffees. The shit I can make at home with just some folgers, milk, sugar, and ice, actually TASTES like coffee instead of some sort of sick joke they made with cream and sugar, a dash of burnt grounds, and whipped cream to make it all look like you stepped out of a fucking carnival.

All Starbucks iced coffee does is make me wish I had a Heath bar coffee Blizzard.

GIVE ME MY DRUGS, DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME.

31 ounces of chocolate soymilk? .... There is a god

[Minions]

I got cards for 3 free starbucks drinks. Looks like I'm getting even more than I was before. Glad I held on to them

[Metman]

I hate Starbucks. I only prefer black coffee that's bitter because I'm not a bitch. But anyway, Starbucks is more like liquid meth. I don't know the name of the 50 billion goddamn specialties that's sold there and I especially hate the batshit insane workers there that act extra cheerful. Where the hell is that type of attitude so goddamn prevelant? At a day care? At least when I walk into Wal-Mart the associates there are jacked up on drugs or their old.

Personally, I drink maybe 3 to 4 cups of coffee a year, but since my mom and several friends are addicted to coffee, I still end up in Starbucks too often. The one drink I do really like though is the Vanilla bean frap. But it's pretty much just sugar, so I try not to get them very often either.
