Starbucks Introduces New Cup Sizes For April Fools
About Coffee[s] Staff
Starbucks announced today that it will be introducing 2 new cup sizes in the U.S. and Canada this fall. Called the Plenta and Micra these cup sizes were supposedly a result of some customer requests.
From the Starbucks website:
Derived from Italian word for plentiful or small, the Plenta™ delivers coffee lovers record amounts of the world’s finest coffee beverages while the Micra™ delivers a quick and satisfying morsel of goodness.
The Plenta would be for serious coffee drinkers as it is about the size of a movie theater popcorn bucket. The Micra looks like it’s about the size of one of Starbuck’s sampler cups.
You can see it for yourself at the Starbucks website:

At $2.42 for a Venti, if you do the math the Plenta would run you about $15.49.
Not to mention you would probably die from a caffine overdose.
