Question of the Day, January 19, 2011

[Drakane]

If I can get a soda from the gas station in 44 to 64 oz why not a crapachino in 31? but I don't drink starbucks or coffee that much so I couldn't care less really.

I want a lemonade so big it results in me taking a 30 second piss.

Which I have done before.

Bladder of Steel.

I commend you for this, the best I got is having a person in line behind me applaud me for taking such a massive leak that 2 people came and left next to me so I would guess I too have hit near that mark.... good ol beer and live football (american)

Other: Starbucks is for hipster pussies drinking overpriced caffein and sugar beverages while sitting on a table with their iPad/MacBook updating their facebook profile with pictures of themselves holding the new super-size next to their faces.

 

[Something Amyss]

Other: I think my heart might explode and I want one right now!

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

A medium macchiato made my body regret every drop of it, back when I had so much disposable income that overpriced coffee didn't come across as particularly stupid. Effectively doubling (tripling?) the size should require them to offer coupons for discounted rates on coronary bypass surgery.

I'm almost certain the human stomach can hold more than 900 ml of fluids. I've chugged 1L bottles of watter when was thirsty and still had room left.

 

[Keith K]

It's only for cold drinks so it makes sense. Like a big milk shake.

 

[Pariahwulfen]

Other: I want my hot coffee in that size damn it! >.<

Actually, I've drank 2L of chocolate milk in under a minute. I wouldn't advise it and I hurled within minutes, but I agree, 900 mL seems small.

How about the option for: "As far as I know Starbucks doesn't exist in my country"?

Besides coffee tastes bad

 

[Rigs83]

I never get coffee at Starbucks so I am indifferent.

Spoiler: I did not know Antarctica was a country.

 

[Exia91]

No offence to anyone.
Why do Americans always believe that bigger equals better?!

OT:
No, I would definitely not buy such huge size. Imagine how your stomach would feel afterwards? It is the "after-Thanksgiving-dinner-feeling" or "after-Christmas-dinner-feeling". You'd be stuffed like the turkey you eat on those days!

 

[Da Joz]

I don't drink coffee or go to starbucks at all so it really makes no difference to me but seriously, who needs that much coffee? Many people tell me that starbucks coffee isn't even very good.

 

[dex-dex]

I don't even drink 250 ml of coffee
it is ridiculous! I only go there with friends when they want their trendy coffee. I get my americano in the smallest size they got! even their tall is a large at any other canadian coffee place.

Spoiler

Green = Where there is Starbucks. Grey = No Starbucks

Norway = No Starbucks

 

[Eleima]

Seriously, guys, we all know this is a bad idea. Sugary drinks in an even bigger size??? And wewonder why the US has the highest prevalemce of obesity...

 

[Flionk]

I don't care how big they make their drinks, I just wish they would stop using random words from random languages for their products. They're trying too hard to sound all fancy and artsy, it just makes them (and their customers) come off as pompous snobs. 'Extra Large' is a good enough descriptor, thank you.

 

[Spacelord]

I think Starbucks should focus less on portion sizes and more on not brewing inferior swill.

 

[Anton P. Nym]

Congratulations, Starbucks, on reinventing the Super Big Gulp. Way to stay classy, guys.
