Looking for your caffeine fix?

Search no further than the Trenta, Starbucks' new 31-ounce beverage size. The massive drink offering -- which might just be bigger than your stomach -- will be available in 14 select states starting Tuesday.

Here are some quick facts on the colossal conveyance:
  • Trenta is Italian for "30," but the cup actually holds 31 ounces.
  • Trenta drinks will cost 50 cents more than the next largest Venti size (24 ounces).
  • Only iced beverages will be available in the Trenta.
  • The 14 states offering the Trenta on Tuesday are Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, Nevada and Arizona.
  • The Trenta will be available nationwide beginning May 3.


The folks on Twitter -- who occasionally appear frenetic but may not necessarily be over-caffeinated -- weighed in on the Trenta.
