Starbucks announced that they will add a larger size to their drink menu -- the 31-ounce "Trenta". The new size is eleven ounces larger than the Venti, which was the largest size the coffee chain had to offer, until now.

The larger size will only be available for iced coffee, iced tea and iced tea lemonade drinks.

The coffee shops will have the new size available nationwide by May 3, but it will debut in 14 states starting February 18.

We checked with the Starbucks in Quincy to find out when the Trenta size will go on sale.

The person we spoke with at the store said they didn't know when they would start selling the larger size because they hadn't heard anything from corporate yet.

Drinks in the Trenta size will cost 50 cents more than similar Venti-sized iced drinks, the company said.

The world's biggest coffee chain said unsweetened drinks in the new size will have fewer than 90 calories and that sweetened versions will have less than 230 calories.

The new size is bigger than the human stomach to see how it compares click here.
