re: How has starbucks tricked people into thinking it’s okay to drink a milkshake everymorning

You sound like one of those grumpy old men that complain about everything that has never actually been inside a Starbucks and naturally thinks that is the only drink they offer.

I get Starbucks frequently (they have one inside the hospital I work at). Lots of options that are not full of sugar and calories.

ETA: I haven’t had a Frappuccino in several years. No one that gets that thinks it’s a regular coffee drink. They just want caffeinated dessert.

Mine your own fricking business

I don’t drink a milkshake for breakfast though.

Again....educate yourself on the menu at Starbucks. No one at Starbucks is tricking anyone into anything considering the calories are listed on the menu next to each drink and size offered

I'd like to know how much Starbucks has contributed to rising health care costs.


Big on personal responsibility?

Far, far, far less than the traditional fast food chains, candy, donut shops, tobacco, etc.

Yes I am big on personal responsibility and fully agree people have the right to do this to themselves. I'd still like to know the answer though.

Nice try at a "gotcha" though libbie.

When I go to Starbucks (rarely) I get a grande black coffee. Cost me a buck basically. I don’t see the big deal.

Ok.

So it is like having a can of Coke.

Let’s stop acting like Starbucks invented sugary drinks.

Then you wouldn’t ask that question. Because Starbucks didn’t contribute. People’s choices did.

Ans your avoidance of all the others speaks volumes.

Hey I have an idea... how about instead of trying to fish for arguments based on semantics, you come up with a unique contribution to the thread for a change.

Gee isn't that a swell idea?

It'd be very little if people had self control. If people stopped buying their shite so frequently then Starbucks would adapt.

The problem is Starbucks has no incentive to change. Sugar is addictive as frick and people have no concept of moderation.

That drink should be a very occasional treat. Not a weekly and certainly not a daily staple.

But don't try and tell Brayleigh who is 5'3 and over 235lbs that she doesn't need to have three of them a week with whatever other slice of cake she gets with it for "breakfast" even though she gets winded reaching for a file from her desk drawer.
