What the hell does all that shit even mean? I don't get the whole Starbucks language. I just want a medium coffee mother fuckers. People need to yank the stick out of their asses with all that BS. My wife gets all kinds of wierd named bullshit pumped into her coffee as well. I make her order a coffee for me cause I feel out of place big time around there. I will not conform to this yuppie language, high calorie social trend.

I usually go in there and order a double espresso. A double cappucino if I am feeling particularly adventurous. All this other stuff is just gobbledygook to me.

It says 4 pumps sf vanilla and then no vanilla? Upside down? What in the hell.

I guess it doesn't count as dessert if you are drinking it.


Maybe sugar free vanilla, no regular vanilla. Wow.

Black. The only way to drink coffee.

Agreed....I do add a nice splash of whole milk though. But a few times here and there I'll have mine all black iced

[AvidFisherman]

I say just invest in a nice Bunn coffee maker with some quality beans and a grinder. You can make coffee just as good or even better that way and not pay their high prices or have to drive out of your way to find a store.

lol I was thinking the same thing.

I love to eat plain chicken - covered in BBQ sauce! haha!

[TKD]

Fuck Sake.

There is a woman at work that is like this. I think it says sugar free vanilla, the upside thing I think is having the coffee and milk mixed instead of layered. But you have to laugh at the extra caramel drizzle on top of all the sugar free.

Your Starbucks drink may have 25 spoons of sugar in it

Warning: You might want to put that caramel latte down before reading this.

Flavored drinks served by the likes of Starbucks (SBUX) can contain up to 25 teaspoons of sugar per serving, according to a new report by a British campaign group Action on Sugar.

That's three times the amount of sugar in one can of Coke, and more than three times the maximum adult daily intake recommended by the American Heart Association.

The report said that 98% of hot flavored drinks sold at major coffee chains in the U.K. have excessive levels of sugars per serving, with 35% containing nine or more teaspoons of sugar -- the same amount as a can of Coca Cola.

The research focused on drinks sold in the U.K., but nutritional information published on the companies' website show that sugar levels are similar in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Action on Sugar describes itself as "a group of specialists concerned with sugar and its effects on health." Its advisers and staff include doctors, nutritionists and public health specialists. It analyzed 131 hot drinks, including flavored lattes, chai teas, mocha coffees and mulled fruit drinks. The survey touched on nine big coffee shops and food chains in Britain including Starbucks, Costa and Pret a Manger.

The group also campaigns against hidden sugars in everyday food, organizes "Sugar awareness week," and advises people on how to eat less sugar.

The report said Starbucks' hot mulled fruit grape with chai, orange and cinnamon was the "worst offender," with 25 teaspoons of sugar.

Two other popular Starbucks choices -- vanilla latte and caramel macchiato -- contain more than eight teaspoons of sugar each, according to the company's U.S. website.

Starbucks said it has committed to reduce added sugar in its "indulgent drinks" by 25% by the end of 2020. "We also offer a wide variety of lighter options, sugar-free syrups and sugar-free natural sweetener and we display all nutritional information in-store and online," a Starbucks spokesperson said.

A medium Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN) vanilla chai has over 11 teaspoons of sugar, while a hot macchiato includes 7 teaspoons. KFC's mocha contains 15 teaspoons of sugar. A large mocha at McDonald's (MCD) has 11 teaspoons, and a chai latte massimo at the British chain Costa Coffee includes 20 teaspoons.

"These hot flavored drinks should be an occasional treat, not an 'everyday' drink. They are laden with an unbelievable amount (of) sugar and calories and are often accompanied by a high sugar and fat snack," said Kawther Hashem, a researcher for Action on Sugar.

Health campaigns against excessive sugar contents has been gaining momentum in recent years. The World Health Organization has recently suggested cutting the recommended sugar intake for adults in half, to about 25 grams, around 6 teaspoons, of sugar for a normal weight adult a day.
