If you didn't know already, there's a new brouhaha over the size of your favorite drink. Yes. The Super Big Gulp has gone on a diet and lost 4 oz for the same price. Those 7-11 bastards.
In other news, someone came up with a new word for a big drink.
Huh...I came in here expecting this to be about the new larger starbucks size....trenta or something like that.Originally Posted by mcs328
Am I alone here? Is that it?
Am I the only one who sees.
Maybe we can learn to be just like him.
Wear a little uniform.
Yes, sir.
No, sir.
Thank you, sir.
^^
I thought the same thing.
I guess they should rename it to "Bigger Gulp" now since it isn't quite "Super" anymore huh?

I was expecting a thread about the beer sizes at Seattle Stadium.
stay low... keep moving...
I don't drink Starbucks coffee so a bigger trenta is not news to me. If 7-11 came out with a keg with two handles on the side for $0.99 and called it Super Dodecahedron Gulp Extreme then I'd pay more attention. I'm fine with the Dunkin' Donuts coffee.
It's really no different than with a lot of products already in the grocery store.
Manufacturers opt to reduce size for the same cost instead of raising prices.
That half gallon of ice cream that's 2 for $6? Usually only 1.5 quarts.
$2.50 for orange juice. Wait, you mean it's not a half gallon anymore? 54 ounces? What??
Drives me loony.
