New from Starbucks: "Chantico"

[Fausto]

....and Krispy Kreme is having problems why again?

 

[Excelsior]

Wow.

And Starbucks will market it as a "drinkable dessert." Imagine melting down a chocolate bar ? and drinking it.

 

[ITCHY96]

its way too sweet. i had it about 5 times already i always dilute it down with water but its pretty good.

 

[mflacy]

Chocorific!

 

[jagec]

No, not hot chocolate. That's so proletarian.

and Starbucks is so middle class.

How do rich people get their chocolate?

 

[nakedfrog]

I wonder if I could get them to deep fry the cup...

only if you ask nicely and give me a big fat tip.

 

[ragazzo]

way too sweet. same deal with krispy... way too sweet.

 

[rpc64]

Good lord I don't think I'll be trying any of this stuff. Sounds way too rich/sweet if it's that high in fat and calories for only 6 ounces.

 

[SWScorch]

oh noes!!! It has carbs!!!!

that sounds truly disgusting. Makes me glad I have absolutely no sweet tooth

Side note: the article says is has "51 carbs". It's 51 GRAMS OF CARBOHYDRATES DAMMIT.

I don't know why, but this irritates me immensely.

 

[dragonballgtz]

It's no diet drink: A 6-ounce cup has 390 calories, 21 grams of fat and 51 carbs.

Hmmm, I wonder why America is so fat. *thinks long and hard*

 

[SWScorch]

yeah I saw that too. I was thinking, "Wait a second, carbs isn't a measurement, it's a nutrient!"

People are so nutritionally challenged these days....

I just hate the word "carbs" because it's invariably used by diet freaks who know NOTHING about how the human body works. To hear some of them talk, it's as if carbohydrates (sorry, "carbs":roll: ) are poisonous, rather than vital energy sources.

That too. Plus I'm just sick to death of the whole Atkins thing and sick of people obsessing about everthing BUT actually exercising once in a while.

Plus you get all sweaty.......ick.

 

[0roo0roo]

i'd try it.. but 3 bux for 6oz is a tad rich for my blood.

 

[booger711]

too expensive

 

[GigaCluster]

Public Service Announcement: you get 10 cents off of your Chantico purchase if you bring your own container.

 

[eakers]

meh, not a big deal. they have one drink there that is over 1000 calories.

eta: perhaps this is another 1000 cal drink when you get it in a bigger size.

anyways, liquid calories are always scary.

 

[0roo0roo]

yea thats the thing, lots of their drinks are ~300+ cals. esp the fraps. and well coffees with creams and such..wtf did u think it was but i guess the cups are atleast 12oz ....and fraps are even bigger.

 

[AkumaX]

A Venti Vanilla Creme Frappucino has 900 Calories

I like their White Hot Chocolate

Stereotyping again, are we?
