2. Is Starbucks competing with 7-11's Big Gulp?

16. Its the same size as the smallest Big Gulp

so they are on their way... but they still need to add a few more sizes....

The Big Gulp fountain drink brand refers to the name of the 32 US fl oz (0.95 l) fountain drink, the Big Gulp. Variants include:

20 US fl oz (0.59 l) Gulp
32 US fl oz (0.95 l) Big Gulp
44 US fl oz (1.3 l) or 1.2 l (41 US fl oz) (depending on region) Super Big Gulp
64 US fl oz (1.9 l) Double Gulp
128 US fl oz (3.8 l) Team Gulp

9. Someone who needs 720 mg (I think) of caffeine, or someone who needs

499 calories.

On Cnn, they just said it has as much caffeine as *20* cans of coke. God, can you imagine how your heart would feel after drinking that??

7. To be fair

This is meant for the "iced" drinks, and during, the summer, I could see people getting their laptops and camping out for a whole Afternoon at Starbucks, nursing one of these.

8. Hopefully,

there should be lots of porta potty's nearby! Anyone who drinks that much coffee is really asking for it!

:crazy: :crazy:

14. Adult female 250 - 550 ml, adult male 350 - 750 ml

11. note I said

hanging out all afternoon in a starbucks, which presumably has a bathroom (at least mine do)

12. In an iced drink, the ice takes up a lot of the volume. So its probably not that much more of the

actual beverage than a venti with no ice.

13. 916 ml? Why stop there, might as well make it a liter.

[MindPilot]

15. I support a ban on high-capacity coffee cups.

Nobody outside of law enforcement or the military has any need to drink that much coffee without refilling.
