Starbucks said the mini will be 10 ounces in size, a little cheaper and lower in calories than the 12 ounce version.

The company said the Frappuccino Mini is currently being tested in Houston and Denver. How the tests go in those two cities will determine if the mini goes global.

Starbucks spokeswoman Lisa Passe said "It's about customers looking for choices. We're learning and listening to what customers are saying."

The Frappuccino Mini is about 30 cents cheaper than the traditional size.

All in all, the iced coffee drink means big bucks for Starbucks, the Frappuccino brings in about $2 billion per year for the company.
