>It's just coffee, anon!

>>10069854
How did Starbucks convince people to think a 2000 Cal milkshake with half a teaspoon of instant coffee is a healthy beverage?
I worked there a few years ago, people literally thought they were healthy because they coffee (usually they were already obese)

>>10069854
These are the same people that call me a try-hard for drinking coffee black.

They think regular coffee is supposed to be bitter.
Most people have never had a good cup of coffee in their life.

Simply an anecdote here but a lot of people (specifically women and older people) seem to think that liquid calories just aren't a thing. You know the types - "I had a healthy lunch: a garden salad with a grilled, skinless chicken breast and a large iced tea! Oh and then in the afternoon I had another iced tea because it's hot out lol." Mom mother is like this and I finally got her to stop being a fool regarding liquid calories. On weekends it was very typical for her to go out in the morning to Tim Horton's and get an extra large French vanilla cappuccino and also a large Ice Capp to put in the fridge for later: total calories are about 800 and probably around 80g of sugar. My family is generally like this and it's the luck of the genes that none of these people have gotten the 'beetus.

For many people, the difference between losing weight and maintaining their current weight is a single 700 calorie coffee milkshake bomb for breakfast.

Everyone could be a healthy weight if they just skipped out on one less meal and cut out all liquid calories, especially soda.

>>10069894
Iced tea is fantastic if it's proper iced tea, the bottle thing is just revolting.

Feels good to only drink water and homemade kefir (yogurty fermented milk drink)

>>10069869
god i hope all fat people just die

Why do people call them "2000 calorie milkshakes?" There's no ice cream and they taste way too watery to be a milkshake.
And the most unhealthy one is still like 600 calories. What exactly do fatties do to make it worse?

>>10070072
frappes are a scoopful of ice, cream base, instant coffee base and water
they're maybe 6 cents worth of ingredients for a 1000% markup
people make them even worse by adding more sugar

>>10069854
Bullshit show me nutritional facts that show a frap is over or at least 2000 calories. Not saying they're good for you but that number is definitely an exaggeration.

>>10070092
Pretty sure he was just using that number to make a point. I'm so hungry that I could eat a horse right now by the way.

>>10070096
I only say this because there are shakes over 2000 calories and since most of the fraps in starbucks are made with ice I refuse to believe any of them are over 2000

>>10069885
Don't get me wrong my dudeman, I feel you, but it's pretty hard to get decent coffee in certain parts of North America. I like good coffee black, but unless I have the time to go to a proper coffee shop I just dump some milk and sugar in it because
shitty coffee>>>>>shitty coffee with milk and sugar>>good coffee

>>10070110
>tfw I need to gain weight
Whenever I get sick I fucking shed weight, it's retarded. I usually hover like 5-10 pounds above actually unhealthily underweight, again, no idea why, and it fucking sucks trying to put on weight.

What I'm trying to say is I could probably drink one of these a day and be good to go in like three days

>>10070150
You'll kill yourself before you even gain the amount of weight you want

>>10070114
You got your arrows reversed.

>>10069854
Dude just order a small. 500 cal no big deal. Also last time I checked they didn't surpass 1000 calories. Half of it is ice, it's nothing like a milkshake.

>>10070083
My teeth fell out after reading this

>>10070110

>2600 calories

jesus fucking christ this should be classified as poison

that's a man's average daily intake, and men don't even really drink those

>>10069869
how are people like that even alive

>>10069854
No idea anon.I still can't rap my head around the concept of Starbuck being called "coffee".

>>10070930
It's like Yorkshire Terrier being called "dog".

A common saying here is "I killed myself laughing" which is not unlike "I died laughing". I guess in America when your drinking one of these you could say that you "killed yourself sharting". Thank you and goodnight.

>>10070954

Im sorry, but you didnt have to call me an idiot. Im going through a rough time

Its gonna be pretty frightening watchin all these baic bitches metabolisms go to shit and turn into dump trucks because they can't stop drinking frappucino. After working at a starbucks I was horrified enough to only consider small frappucinos as a desert or luxury item. You can't drink that shit on the regular and not expect it to fuck you up.
I drink my coffee black now but i just can't stop drinking pepsi its the taste of a new generation and its killing me.

We did a case study on this in my econ or business course. Starbucks is more of a real estate company than a coffee company, they just have spectacular locations compared to other fast food places and by the time that started to lose its edge they had cornered the white girl market

>>10070995

>>10070941
Because it by literally every single definition of one is?

>>10071355
That's nothing, I worked at a Starbs for about six months and one of the regulars would come in and order a 35 Vanilla 15 Classic 1 Hazelnut Vanilla bean frappuccino. He would bring in a coffee cup the size of a big gulp and ask us for a double order if he "felt like something sweet". This fucking landmass would always come in through the drivethrough and hold up the line while he watched us pump damn near an entire bottle of syrup. And our manager was too weakwilled to say anything.

>>10071662
Exactly, technically. Just like how soy boys are "technically" people.

I used to get venti peppermint mochas with 8 pumps of peppermint. once every month or so. Now I just make em fresh with my own mint extract and pre-chilled coffee, Much better for me, and also tastes better.

i like my coffee to taste like a dessert.

i use this to keep calories low. but i'm sure there's transfat and i'm still fucking up my health.

>>10072811
0.57lbs, so yeah, just about

Just made one of these right now for the first time.

https://fitfoodiefinds.com/healthy-mint-chip-shake/

I think I overdid the mint a bit, but its really good. a 4oz cup of this is a great side for my future lunches.

>>10070114
I approve this message. Unless the stuff is grade A or quite close to it, sugar and milk and/or cream will go a long way to enhance the taste. I don't drink coffee at all anymore, though. I've never had a Starbucks drink either.

>>10071582
the draw of starbucks is more about class than race. it's an affordable luxury to middle and lower class people

>>10072875
>,
>Affordable luxury
A venti frappe is $5. Thats their most expensive drink. On what planet can a person not afford a $5 food expense?

>>10072883
Your post suggests that spending upwards of $15 for food every single day for a single person is not only affordable, but normal.

>>10072900
>Spending $15

You buy a $2-$5 drink, how the fuck is that $15?

>>10069910
>especially soda.
Is there some hidden soda fact I'm unaware of? Pic related has only 107 calories and I'll be damned if I don't serve my hangover onion and cheese omelette with some ice cold pepsi.

>>10072900
>$15 for food every single day for a single person is not only affordable, but normal.
I mean, it is if you have a job. You can eat pretty well on 15 a day, if you had the money why wouldn't you? I'm pretty poor, so I like to spend as little as possible on food, then cook one or two really good meals a week. However, if I made even a little bit more it wouldn't be too crazy to spend on average 15 day. I'm at sub 2 right now if you're wondering.

>>10072923

>>10069910
>Everyone could be a healthy weight if they just skipped out on one less meal

Not how that works healthfag. You can easily make 3 main meals in 1500 calories. Just cut down on the meal itself and drink diet sodas or water. instead of juice and soda.

A good quality omelette, 2 strips of bacon, A bagel or waffle and a glass of milk is 400 calories all together. A fast food breakfast platter is all of that in one item.

>>10072923
>25cl

ah yes i'll have three of those thank you

>>10072948
Are you some kind of freak? I barely ever down an 8oz can of diet soda . Who the fuck drinks an entire 20 oz in one sitting?

I used to have a friend years ago who told me calories from icecream didn't count because it'd melt and go right through you. He was a giant pothead, so I could never be sure when he was just fucking around, but I think he meant it.

>>10071674
This pales in comparison but when I worked at McDonald's on the opening shift, every morning for as long as I was on that shift these two middle aged women would come through drive through and they'd both get a 32oz sweet tea with 7 full pumps of the liquid sugar. Every day.

>>10072883
Assuming said person buys one five days a week for a year that's $1300 in a year on Starbucks coffee alone. Considering there was a study recently showing some 70% of Americans basically live paycheck-to-paycheck, that's an easy $1300 to save by brewing coffee at home

>>10069869
Is that bench sagging?

>>10072938
That's over 400 dollars a month just on pure garbage and junk food.

>>10073091
this is where people go broke. I accidentally opened one of my brothers credit card statements. About 3/4 of all the stuff on there was food. Most of it was take out and prepared food to go. It was over 600 dollars in just food alone and that was about 2 month period.

>>10073173
I agree, one of the biggest things I harp on whenever people start whining about financial matters is to stop nickel and diming themselves to death. The same people moaning about how it's not fair that they never have any money have a bank statement with dozens and dozens of 1-5 dollar charges

>>10073200

>>10073026
>sugar calories are magically going to make you fatter than fat, protein, or complex carb calories

>>10073091
Yeah it's fucking retarded if you're spending it at starbucks, but the actual monetary amount is totally fine. 400 dollars a month to eat really good food every day for every meal is totally worth it. You can definitely cook great food at an average of 15 a day, it'll go above for stuff like steak obviously, but there are plenty of great meals that will put you pretty far below that.

>>10070782
the human body is astonishingly adaptable

>>10073009
I don't eat breakfast so 500 cal is 1/3 of my intake.

>>10073253
>400 dollars
Dude, I do $125 a month for grocceries, and I buy nothing but fresh ingredients and thinks I can portion/chop up for other meals.

Spoending $400 on food is plain retarded. and a waste of money, Rich or not. That's ~300 that could go to savings or something important.

>>10072923

>>10073277
So instead of a good breakfast probably filled with protein vitamins and nutrients for the day, you choose an overly sugared drink that does nothing but make you sleepy and feel like shit later?

>>10073288
It doesn't make me feel like shit or sleepy later so idk why I wouldn't drink it for enjoyment

>>10069854

Wow, I cannot believe my mom stooped so low...

My mom called my doctor and said to him "What's the most accurate measurement for weighing?" The doctor said "An underwater weighing test" And just like that, my mom said "Yes. When can my son and my daughter can take it?" and the doc said "Today at 2pm."

So, I didn't bother taking a shower and so did my sister too, so I had to get into a special swimming suit(tight pants...Ugh).

My sister said "Can I pull my hair down to a ponytail?" The doctor said "No." So my sister with her long, blonde hair went underwater with 8 seconds and had she must enjoyed it..but I didn't.

How often does that ping positive at DQ?

>>10074609
If its the same pump no, if its a different pump yes.

Example, A peppermint mocha can get extra pumps of peppermint, or mocha for free, But if you wanted say, butterscotch, it'd be 40 cent per pump.

An employee once tried to charge me $7.50 for a grande pepmocha, because he added all the pumps up ontop of it, and when I told him it's their policy to give free pumps of the same syrup, he called his manager to prove me wrong, only to get his own ass burned infront of everyone.

He almost certainly meant it, there used to be a meme going around, that by eating ice cream, the calories you consume eating it; your body burns by trying to bring it to room temperature. This may not be entirely bullshit, but it sure is bullshit that ice cream won't make you fat

Diabetic here. I used to love getting these when i was in high school, but I only ever got em like once every few months or on special occasions. Now I can't even look at one without realizing how fucking deadly it is to me. A tall frappe has about 90 carbs in it, and thats at base without added cream, pumps of syrup, or specialty milks.

Its all in the syrup. The coffee itself is 0, the milk can be fat-free or low cal 1%, but that syrup carries the entire 90+ carbs in it, and its required as a binding agent to make the frappe. A caramel one is double that, and a venti size is like 3X the amount.

>>10073250

Just so you know, the amount of energy to bring it to body temperature is pretty much negligible. It's true that it requires some energy to heat but it's nowhere near the amount of energy it contains. For scale, a calorie is defined as:
>the approximate amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of onegramof water by one degreeCelsiusat a pressure of oneatmosphere
On foodstuffs, when we say calorie we're generally actually talking about kilocalories. I'm not sure why some asshat decided this confusing convention should be the standard but that's how it is. So your 800 calorie frappshake is actually 800 kilocalories which means you gain enough energy to heat 800,000 grams of water by 1 degree Celsius at one atm of pressure. Or 800 kilograms of water if you prefer. You only need to raise the temperature of this thing by less than 37 degrees Celsius. Let's just assume that the milkuccino is equivalent to a kilogram of water, for simplicity's sake. Then you use 37 kilocalories to bring it to body temperature. So congratulations, you still gained 763 kilocalories and I'm still probably overestimating the the necessary energy by a significant amount. It heats the whole time you're drinking it and it probably takes less energy to heat than a kilogram of water.

>>10075321
Technically complex carbs aren't sugar. They do break down into sugars generally though. So what I'm trying to say is that technically your first statement is wrong.

Sugar refers to monosaccharides and disaccharides. Complex carbs refers to oligosaccharides and polysaccharides which are either undigestible or break down into sugars.
