Starbucks Trenta holds more than the average stomach capacity

This graphic by Andrew Barr of the National Post is gaining some traction online. It compares the volume of the new, super-sized Starbucks Trenta – which debuts today in 14 states – and the average capacity of the human stomach.

Doesn’t look like most folks could handle a Trenta in one sitting, much less a Trenta and a Starbucks pastry. Will larger drink sizes mean fewer bakery and food sales for Starbucks?
