At least now I don’t need to feel as guilty about my morning Coke.

930 calories!?! That’s around the same as a pint of Haagen Dazs ice cream.

I find it a bit disturbing that coffee chains have figured out how to leverage people’s coffee addiction and the social construction of coffee as a “necessary” and “productive” drug that they can convince people to drink milkshakes all day and treat it like a civic responsibility.

Serious question: why? I get why they want to put sugar in everything, but why this MUCH? Wouldn’t it be both cheaper and better-tasting to rein it in a bit?

Yes, this should not be news to anyone by now. Pumpkin Spice whatever has the spices and seasonings commonly used in pumpkin pie. It does not have pumpkin. These are also mostly the same spices used in apple pie, so they could have just as easily called all these drinks Apple Spice Latte etc. Or Autumn Harvest.

Kinda disappointed not to see condensed industrial-strength compressed ultrasugar on the ingredients list, but apart from that it’s got everything.

4 grams of sugar is one teaspoon.

So that’s 46.25 teaspoons.

That’s just shy of one cup, or not quite half a pint.

Of sugar.

Yeah, I guess I don’t believe it. According to this chart, a large Pumpkin Swirl Ice Latte with whole millk has 66 g of sugars and 450 calories. Still a lot, but the very-quickly-flashed printouts on the video don’t quite make clear where the other 120 g of sugar is. I mean, it could be that random tiktok guy is not reliable either.

Wrong drink. Scroll down to the frozen drinks. It’s actually worse than the guy said if you get the whole milk version.

Clearly the one to get is with cream. And I am surprised the real cream would actually be an option.
