Starbucks is introducing a new drink size in selected US locations this week, dubbed "Trenta." It will be the largest size offered by the popular coffee chain to date.
Though "Trenta" translates to "thirty" in Italian, the new cup size will hold 31-ounces of liquid. This will surely add more confusion to an already cryptic menu.

The change comes with some health benefits. Only iced beverages will be offered in the Trenta size, some of which contain only 90 calories maximum.
Starbucks recently unveiled a new logo that distances the company from its coffee-only image, as there is a plan in the works to add beer and wine to the menu.
No matter the quality of their products, Starbucks continues to charge premium prices. The in-store wi-fi, however, remains free, and many customers take advantage of it.
Can the Starbucks spell ever be broken?
