Starbucks to roll out Supersized Coffee

How bad is American's addiction to coffee? It must be very high because Starbucks announced they are rolling out trenta size drinks. For those that are not familiar with Starbucks' lingo, one trenta size drink is equivalent to 31 oz. fluid. This is more liquid than a human's stomach can hold!

Experts also say that switching to a trenta drink can add 200 extra calories a day, which results in an average of 2 pound weight gain per month. According to Sarah of Truth In Slimming, while American consumers are freaking out about Starbucks' new size, Dunkin Donuts have been serving a 32-ounce coffee for years. McDonald's also serve up 32 oz. sweet tea for $1. 


Who buys these oversized drinks? Are these corporations releasing the products based on current American dieting trends?
