Forget the Venti, how about super-sizing your cup of joe from Starbucks?

The world's biggest coffee chain is adding a new 31 ounce cup size called the Trenta. But hold on, it'll only be for cold beverages such as iced tea and iced coffee.

It's currently being tested in Phoenix and Tampa. The Trenta will likely sell for $3.30 for iced coffee and $2.60 for iced tea.

The move comes as McDonald's continues to offer its McCafe Espresso coffee drinks and rolls out its new Frappas to compete with Starbucks' Frappuccino beverages. Starbucks says it's also in response to customers' demands for larger sizes for cold drinks.
