I want a litre of espresso dammit! I want to be so buzzed on coffee I can down it and then not be caught of CCTV because I move so fast.squid5580 said:
I would say that I'm indifferent since I don't buy anything for Starbucks, but I'll say that the old adage, "Quality not quantity" applies here.
Even if they did sell coffee in that size, why would you want such a large amount of weak coffee?
I drink a lot of coffee at home, sometimes by the pint, but I find that the strength of the coffee is more important that the quantity.
I'd much rather make 4 cups of strong black coffee that remain hot than only make one large coffee that will be cold by the time I've finished drinking it.
As a takeaway soft beverage container, it's not even that large or convenient. 1 or 1.5 litre bottles are much better as you can screw the top back on and carry them around with you, but a large flimsy cup is just a pain in the arse.
But I suppose I'm missing the point of Starbucks, where practicality and quality take a back seat to the brand and establishment.

£50? The prices at the moment seem to say so...FoolKiller said:
And I'd try one, just to see how massive it is, but they're not overseas yet!
That's like a liter of coffee.. Whoa
Denmark has Starbucks?! I'm surprised.therandombear said:Rigs83 said:therandombear said:How about the option for: "As far as I know Starbucks doesn't exist in my country"?
Besides coffee tastes bad
Green = Where there is Starbucks. Grey = No Starbucks
Norway = No Starbucks
It need to be banned it's just like the Super size option in McDonalds, they canceled later because of that documentary guy. It's fucking suggestive and it's dirty corporate move. If someone wants liter of soda, he can take two or three regular ones, what's the difference.
Who the hell could drink that much coffee in one sitting? Now if it were 32oz. of pop, that'd be different.
Why would I want to drink that much? Mostly, I don't understand the logic behind this new size. :/
I don't really give 2 craps about it because their coffee tastes like used motor oil mixed with raw sewage.
