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....


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Eleven#The_Big_Gulp

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

3. It's called Stupid-sized, right?

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.

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.

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.
