Word has been circulating lately about the newest drink size offered (for iced drinks, only) by Starbucks. Currently, as you must know by now, Starbucks offers three sizes for all of its drinks; Tall (12 oz.), Grande (16 oz.), and Venti (20 oz.).

Now, if you're paying attention, you'll notice that Starbucks uses fancy Italian names for its sizes instead of the American small-medium-large. In Italian, Venti translates to twenty; following that line of thinking, Trenta translates to thirty; therefore, a Trenta-sized iced coffee equals 30 ounces of liquid.

OMG! If I was even thinking of ordering a drink this big, I won't now. Also, I don't do "healthy" at Starbucks, cause I consider it a splurge. So, my typical drink at this size would be about 1,000 calories...For sure!
