Holy sh*t, did you see that report on Fox

[StageLeft]

Most people have no idea about food composition, so it's not surprising that there would be a report intended to illuminate the shocked public. Still, 700-900 is an awful lot for a drink.

You didn't know that?

I learned this a few years ago. It was mindblowing, yes. It's like sucking down a can of chili.

Hah, but at least chili has some nutritional value other than sugar.

Plus there's that great reward eventually!

This is why I drink tea...it's healthy.

Edit: And if you brew it strong, it can have a lot more kick than coffee...as far as caffeine goes.

according to the website

12 oz. plain coffee 5 cal
16 oz. 10 cal
20 oz. 15 cal


odd.

You mean heavy whipping cream, extremely sugary syrups, whole milk, and syrup toppings combined have lots of calories???!???!? :roll:

Thanks fox for breaking this incredible story, back to Jon who's going to tell us about this late breaking news about this crazy phenomenon called rain!

I had a straight up cup of coffee at Starbucks one time and I wasn't impressed. I make better coffee at home in my Mr. Coffee.

Blah, Starbucks is crap coffee. Why those stores do so much business is beyond me. I guess everyone likes icecream and candy bars with their crappy coffee.

Yea, like how druggies don't realize that drugs that give you a high contains hallucinogens which may cause you to do stupid sh!t. :roll:

Was there a point to that, or were you just trolling again?

The caffiene's probably worse for you than the calories.

 

[0roo0roo]

how can u not know a giant creamy sugar drink is not calorie loaded

i just get reg coffee most of the time.

mcdonalds coffee isn't high cal, its just coffee which doesn't really have anything until u dump in some half and half and sugar.

mcdonalds has fraps? where?

thats certainly not true. caffine is about as benign as a drug can get

In high quantities it is not good for a person, but I think that in mild doses it's beneficial Eitherway I suck that sh*t back. It IS better than calories, by God!

 

[0roo0roo]

well yea, but the high amounts required to be harmful are so high that its pretty much humanly impossible to take that much coffee. plus, it discourages abuse. if u drinktoo mcuh caffine, the good effects quickly drop off and u get nausea jitters and all the nasty stuff instead.

 

[StrangerGuy]

700 calories is a SINGLE drink is rather disturbing when I think about it.

 

[0roo0roo]

well milkshakes aren't so hot either or giant big gulps etc...
remember original mcdonalds coke was 8oz in 1950~

 

[TheShiz]

what is even more disgusting is Starbucks profit margin on a coffee.
