We track and post attempts to make the largest possible Starbucks beverage on a single free drink coupon because the “competition” amuses us, and because we report on unusual things that happen in commerce. These record attempts are really unusual because, the online chatter indicates, Starbucks recently reminded their “partners” that Frappuccinos are not to be served by the free vat. Of course, we already knew that: Starbucks corporate has explained to us that policy forbids making hot drinks larger than 31 ounces (a Trenta in Starbucks-speak) and cold drinks larger than 24 ounces (a frozen Venti).
