“How can I make sure I always get the last drop?
It can be a nice touch to ask the barista at Starbucks to write a compliment or love note on your cup. But what if they don’t?
Lucy (@gelnailsinspo), a Starbucks customer and TikTok user, got her Trenta drink and showed what the barista wrote to her.
In a video that’s been watched more than 2.7 million times, Lucy shows off her Trenta acai strawberry strawberry acai drink. On top of the glass, there’s a note written in black ink that says, ‘Fun fact: one [Trenta] is bigger than your stomach can hold’.
The person who downloaded it thought it was funny. “I spent all day laughing,” he wrote in the caption. “Just wearing my stars. Starbucks’ rules about writing on cups are funny.”
Here are some of the things people said about the waitress’s ticket.
Some people noticed a spelling mistake.
One person joked, “Whew, good thing you have a Trenta and not a Trinta,” pointing out the spelling mistake in the note.
Another said, “That sounds personal.”
Others did not think this was funny.
“No, I drink Trenta black tea. Where does it end?” one person commented.
“How do I drink every last drop?” commented another.
“Ice takes up about half of it,” said a third.
Is Starbucks really as big as people say?
The Batash Endoscopic Weight Loss Center says that an average stomach can hold between 33 and 50 ounces. A Trenta drink is 31 ounces, which is slightly less than normal. (Via)
When it was released in 2011, a chart showed the drink was larger than the human stomach. But this depends on how much caffeine you can handle and how much you usually drink. (Via)
Starbucks, this is a good programme:
La Trenta is only available in the US, and Starbucks will not include it on its international menus.
According to Tasting Table, the company has no plans to make La Trenta bigger in other markets because food rules and health standards are different in each country. (Via)
Also, only iced drinks are available in La Trenta to reduce waiting times, which might disappoint people who like their drinks hot. (Via)
