Iced coffee can be delicious, especially if made with espresso. Not sure what you mean by "unless you steep it." Iced coffee is brewed normally and then cooled by combining with milk, ice, etc. The milk is optional.

Hence why it's criminal. You change the flavor of coffee (especially espresso) when you cool it or pour it over ice, no better way to ruin a perfectly good shot. Temperature change for coffee = very bad.

You can get around it by steeping.

Java chip is the only one I like, and the cream ones are absolutely disgusting.

$3.80 is pretty cheap considering what some folks pay for orgasms nowadays :)

dang, 510 calories for a grande

WTF! That's like an entire meal..

I think the large has as many calories as a big mac with a coke. I have a hard time eating things that I know are so horribly unhealthy....although I still do occasionally...grudgingly ;)
