Why Can't Starbucks Make A LARGE sized "Double-Shot" Energy Drink?

[The Question]

I LOVE that stuff, man! But the cans are so damn SMALL!

EDIT: Shit, wrong forum.

Just ask Friday to re-post it.

???
Only "energy drinks" that I've ever found tasty was this lemonade flavored vitamin water from CVS.

^^Try Monster Energy drink. TASTE-EH.

 

[Lilith]

I have, my husband drinks two on the way to work every day. I just don't like them...

See what happens when you drink to many?

Let me buy one, I'll reverse engineer it so I can make it.

Then I'll tell you how.

They don't make a LARGE anything, they make things Grande, Venti and whatever other terms they throw around just to be passive-aggressive while serving you.

My roommate is addicted to Monster. Sometimes he gets a kinda crazy motif going on in his eyes...

Not aimed at you, Eggs, just one of my favorite quotes.

I Know! And those damn bottled frap drinks are too small too-even the big ones!
Poor TQ can't get enough caffeine. I'm going to need some tomorrow.

Two? In the car? How far does he commute? Those suckers are big. Even the "normal"-sized Monster would take about fifteen minutes to get through for me, even in a hurry.

 

[Lilith]

Yes, two on the way to work in the car, 25 minute commute

 

[The Question]

So that's 16oz. of high-test caffeine in 12 1/2 minutes -- back to back.

And this guy hasn't had a heart attack yet?

 

[Lilith]

Is it bad for him???? He also drink a lot of soda....

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Isn't it funny that Starbucks offers "Tall, Grande, and Venti"...which all mean LARGE!?!?!?

 

[The Question]

The recommended maximum "dosage" is 3 16oz servings in a 24 hour period. 2 back-to-back is probably pushing it.
