When you haven't quite slurped enough caffeine for your heart to explode, drink your coffee through a smoothie straw from a literal bucket!

How much is that in normal units?

I googled from american. It's a little over 1.4L. Wild.

 

[Paasei]

Do these cups also fit in the American car cupholders?

 

[Pejo]

I'm confused, is it bigger or smaller than a traditional "medium" cup? I can't tell based on the pics, but "bucket" implies it's big.

*edit*

Never mind, I missed the 48oz in the first image. It's big.

10 bucks for a drink? God I'm glad I don't live in the US anymore.

 

[ZehDon]

That's some American shit if I've ever seen it.

 

[DKehoe]

I wondered if it was meant to be something that gets shared. Then I saw it comes with one straw.

I can imagine a fast food executive looking at a number of charts, one displaying weight gain from exposure to particular products and one showing the frequency of visit to their outlets versus age.

"So, they basically stop buying from us at 56? Ok, so as long as it doesn't kill them before they get to 56, we make more money? Then let's do it!" (Everyone high fives). "...oh, and let's go ahead and start installing wide doors."

What do you mean!? $8.89 for almost 1.5 litres of Caramel Coco Ice Coffee? That's a bargain.

For those having a hard time visualizing how big this fucker is, here's a 1.5 quart (48oz) saucepan.

 

[BlackTron]

I'd rather just buy a big jug of iced tea for a few bucks and have a secure cap for inside my bag, than a straw.

Probably have to put this baby in the trunk with your Costco haul

My cousin posted a pic of her acquisition of one of these abominations on facebook the other day. I felt shame on her behalf.

Smaller than a double gulp…. You can do better Dunkin.

Looking at that picture have me diabetes.

I just wish they still made their donuts fresh. The fact that they became a Starbucks and it saved their business bothers me.

 

[jason10mm]

they both can take it

But is this some sort of community drink? I can't even fathom drinking 48oz of water at one time, much less whatever the hell these drinks are.

Surely when your drinking a bucket of something you step back and assess your life hahaha.

Not even the world's busiest Dunkins (Weymouth MA) makes their own donuts anymore. (They stopped 3 years ago)

Saved the business killed the reputation for me.

Agreed. The kids still like Dunkin but they have totally dropped off my donut radar, such as it is. MUCH prefer indie donut shops now.

 

[Paasei]

I wonder how many people will end up buying this. The most expensive one is the price of a full meal at McDonalds I believe.

 

[Venzik]

Perhaps not the classiest thing I've ever seen.

 

[Esca]

I don't drink this stuff but I can see it being a good deal if you have people to split it with. But holy bejesus for one person, I can see the drive side of the car in the drive through being lower while some jabba is ordering one or two with a dozen donuts

 

[Fbh]

People will be like "eating healthy is too expensive" then they'll go and spend almost $12 on 48oz of heavily sweetened blueberry iced latte.

 

[Paltheos]

Putting aside the trough jokes and grossly high sugar content, don't the containers also break practicality? The advantage of thinner, leaner drink containers is that they fit in cars' cup holders which is helpful for people on the go in the morning. I mean, with the lower base of gravity you at least don't have to worry about them falling over in the passenger's seat, but they're also so wide now that the ergonomic designers had to add a fucking handle at the top so people can easily carry the fucking things.

Almost as big as your average Honda engine!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Close but no cigar. Googling it, US 7-11 used to have a 64 oz double gulp drink.
