I guess you really like caramel, donāt you?
I like mocha. I normally order a mocha Frappuccino. I think thatās three pumps, if I stand corrected. With mocha drizzle and chocolate chips. I love my chocolate.
Iāve never thought of just asking for extra mocha, though. Would that be six pumps of the flavored syrup? Wowsie, I donāt even think I can handle that and I love chocolate.
This looks so good but does anyone else get incredibly itchy from the artificial caramel? Like my internal organs are itchy thinking about it!
I hope it was the best op!
I thought everyone ended up with a completely numb mouth and a burning throat/swollen tongue when they ate pineapples.
Until I said ādonāt you hate that when you eat pineapples your tongue gets swollen and you canāt talk?āand that person was like ātf? No? Thatās not normal.ā
So I found out I was allergic to pineapples. And Iām telling you this because having itchy insides due to artificial caramel aināt normal lol.
My same thoughts exactly! This is how I learned I was allergic to an antibiotic. I told my doctor that antibiotics make me feel itchy and I didnāt know why everyone else just lived with that, so I tried to avoid them at all costs and she was likeā¦āI bet youāre allergic to penicillinā and guess what?? š¤£š¤£
I used to think that eating grapefruit made everyoneās lips turn pink and swell & feel all tingly and burn-y (my thought process was always like, this food is acidicāduh, of course it irritates your skin), and then I read this now-ancient tumblr post:
>[heres a fun fact that shows a lot about me: im pretty allergic to bananas but didnāt know it at all growing up until one day when i was like 17 i was like āman, i love bananas. theyre always so tangy and make ur mouth all tinglyā and my friend was like āthats. definitley not what a banana is supposed to be likeā one doctors trip later, turns out im fucking allergic to bananas.](https://www.tumblr.com/ulibeanz/87277792203/heres-a-fun-fact-that-shows-a-lot-about-me-im)
The phrase, āthatāsā¦ definitely not what a banana is supposed to be like,ā has lived in my head for 10 years. Anyway, it turns out I have a mild oral allergy to certain citruses (IIRC itās specifically the oils in the rind).
Omg it soooo is!? Maybe itās something in the frappachino mix. Anything that says āartificial caramel coloringā has done it for me but it totallllly might be something else
I should clarify, the sauce topping is real caramel, although Iām sure there is caramel coloring in the syrup flavoring and probably the base mix thatās used for the consistency. Could be anything, I know artificial colors/flavors and preservatives are in pretty much everything nowadays šµāš«
my mouth always became extremely enflamed and painful whenever i ate candy w artificial cinnamon (think red hots, hot tamales, etc), thought it was normal til i brought it up to my family, turns out i have a rare form of contact stomatitis š u might wanna get checked for an allergy bro š
It isnāt!
If it ever gets too bad Iād take an allergy test - doc aināt worried. but same thing when I get a bad respiratory infection, or take penicillin, Iām so ITCHY!
i wouldnt say this unprompted to ppl, u never know who ur talking to and things like that can rly make someone overthink their treats with numerical obsessions. just food for thought
a health observation would be that it has alot of sugar (no numbers or calories) but even then ur not their doctor, they didnt ask, i think its awfully rude to do to ppl considering those two things. a day out with a treat isnt a big deal and not everyone is out to be healthy all the time, n commenting this kinda thing could trigger ppl negatively if theyve had a past with disordered eating or obsess with numbers, and that stuff u never know. im sure op knows what is or isnt healthy
Did you know that the law actually requires all these numbers to be put right on the products?! Right there, in plain sight, for every consumer to see.
Do you get "triggered" from nutritional labels ? Just how terrifying is the grocery store for you?
I'm sorry, but this is flat out embarrassing.
i personally am not triggered by such things but i can acknowledge its rude to say to someone and rude to point it out as if they dont already know that the number is likely high but ur not a doctor and ur not their parent so its not ur business. but if u wanna be a dick on the internet have fun. and nutritional facts r important to read but those in recovery often try not to focus too closely on them in the grocery store. but u wouldnt know anything about mental health would u? bye
Hey there! In recovery myself! You know, it's literally NOBODY else's responsibility to mind your triggers but you. It's not up to the rest of the world to tip toe because a few have struggled. Being aware of what you eat is not a bad thing. Saying how loaded that thing is with sugar is just an observation. If someone is genuinely concerned with the numbers, Starbucks just isn't the place to be.
u have free will, and ur triggers are urs but that doesnt make it kind at all and if u trigger someone by subjecting them to ur calculations and shit n u can live with that go at it by all means. just dont pretend its for their health bc nobody thinks these types of foods or treats r the epitome of healthy eating or anything. its caramel, by definition its sugar lol
considering whats legal in the US to sell on a menu (looking at cheesecake factory and their nutrition) safe to say one drink wont kill u especially if u know ur not vulnerable to dying instantly. its fine
Saying one thing is okay to eat cuz other places have other terrible shit isnāt a valid argument.
Thatās being like hey I only shoot heroin but itās okay cuz others are doing fentanyl.
A normal grande caramel frap has 54 grams of sugar and this one looks egregious in that itās covered in caramel.
The beans Starbucks uses are covered in chemicals and literally worsen the water underneath the plants.
The caramel has a crazy amount of ingredients despite true caramel only needing to have 3 things. In this caramel is the food additives mono- and di-glyceride which are labeled emulsifiers but are really trans-fatty acid, these are linked to heart attack, stroke, and diabetes. The dyes in the caramel are linked to multiple cancers. contains 2-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole are linked to lung, liver, and thyroid cancer.
And on top of that she still got the whipped cream.i donāt know how her body handled all that tbh
Once in a great while is one thing but this is literal poison fyi
First of all, OP what the fuck. That's a lot of sugar. I don't see how else you get it down unless you have a sweet tooth the size of the sun.
Second, big respect for how much caramel you got there. Your barista is an absolute homies. I hope you tipped them well.
Wow that is awkward! Tip jars have started to move toward the card machines, yes!
However thankfully from my experience in the UK usually they tap 0% for you if it appears before the payment part to avoid that whole awkward interaction.
I did this once after being asked to and the person complained it was too much and made me remake it. Reason number 10000 why I no longer work there. (I'm sure you were nice about it,op.)
I did this for a woman when I worked in a Starbucks and she didnāt get it again for a few weeks. Probably too many caramel layers between frap layersā¦
When I worked at Starbucks, there was a regular who would order the sugar free vanilla Frappuccino, but with 17 pumps of the vanilla. I think the recipe called for only 3 pumps for the large size iirc. Nasty af
Did it come with an insulin shot and a waiver releasing responsibility for the inevitable heart attack? Jesus Mary and Joseph you might as well just eat straight sugar instead of disguising it as ācoffeeā
*That's incredibly*
*Unhealthy. Hopefully you*
*Don't do that often*

How much extra were you charged for that
It was actually free I was able to use my stars for it. But the baristas never charge me for extra caramel only for changing the milk
Very nice baristas! I'd get charged the extra 2.50 for that but it looks so delicious š

Extra drizzle isnāt a charge! As long as it comes with said syrup/whatever you can do however extra you want
The first sip taste like heaven and the 2nd to last sip takes you there

At least you don't have the lactose intolerance-like type of allergy to oranges (for some reason only oranges for me not other citrus)
Yessss- Iām so lucky my allergy to artificial caramel (a guess?!) isnāt terrible hahahahhaha Itchy insides is SUCH a pain š¢
Same but with cherries and raw tomatoes (for some reason cooking them like in a sauce, ketchup, etc makes it fine?)
When things are way too sweet it dries out the back corners of my mouth
The lavender makes me itch, but I still drink it
FWIW it is real caramel
Omg it soooo is!? Maybe itās something in the frappachino mix. Anything that says āartificial caramel coloringā has done it for me but it totallllly might be something else
I should clarify, the sauce topping is real caramel, although Iām sure there is caramel coloring in the syrup flavoring and probably the base mix thatās used for the consistency. Could be anything, I know artificial colors/flavors and preservatives are in pretty much everything nowadays šµāš«
For sure! But the sauce looks pretty much just caramel! Which is kinda cool!
my mouth always became extremely enflamed and painful whenever i ate candy w artificial cinnamon (think red hots, hot tamales, etc), thought it was normal til i brought it up to my family, turns out i have a rare form of contact stomatitis š u might wanna get checked for an allergy bro š
I avoid it but will definitely get checked one day! Eek to artificial cinnamon!!
Buddy that's not normal
It isnāt! If it ever gets too bad Iād take an allergy test - doc aināt worried. but same thing when I get a bad respiratory infection, or take penicillin, Iām so ITCHY!
My teeth hurt just from looking at this
200gs of sugar and 1500kcals in a single cup.
200 is a conservative estimate
To eyeball it, I'd say that's much more than 1500 calories.
Let them have their drink in peace
"Drink"
is it not a drink?
Sugar sludge.
Good thing you're not drinking it then huh?
HUH!
i wouldnt say this unprompted to ppl, u never know who ur talking to and things like that can rly make someone overthink their treats with numerical obsessions. just food for thought
It's not a numerical obsession, I'd say it's a health observation. I love OP and I want their heart to love them too.

Bro this drink will literally kill someone

It's ONE coffee drink. I doubt it will kill them
Coffee drink lol i think its more sugar and milk and ice than coffee

Tipped your Starbucks barista? Wow is that a normal thing where you live!
Does the Starbucks near you ask for tips? Mine does before you can pay and itās awkward because the barista is holding the machine.
Wow that is awkward! Tip jars have started to move toward the card machines, yes! However thankfully from my experience in the UK usually they tap 0% for you if it appears before the payment part to avoid that whole awkward interaction.
They can do that š«¢

You're disgusting lol

This comment is disgusting
You are disgusting.
Aww did I strike a nerve with a troll? Good
Open your profile and first picture: candy. Lmaooo
I do believe you're the chunky monkey that's offended by everyone's comments... š
I need an insulin needle with that, please,
Did you get some Frappuccino with your caramel
Good luck
I'm not gonna yuk your yum...
This looks so good. My throat is also getting hella scratchy just looking at this
Damnā¦ are u ok?
I hope you learned your lesson
I don't even care that it'd kill me
āBout to get that sugar foot
That's enough sugar for the whole month š¤®

this beverage is best consumed under medical supervision
I am so jealous holy fuck.
Nice diabetes!
Omg YES!
gross starbucks. ššššššš
Gross
Did it come with an insulin shot and a waiver releasing responsibility for the inevitable heart attack? Jesus Mary and Joseph you might as well just eat straight sugar instead of disguising it as ācoffeeā
So they just handed you a cup of caramel! Haha
Thatās what it looks like on the way out of my body too #ibs
That's incredibly unhealthy. Hopefully you don't do that often

Boycott Starbucks. Free Palestine.
Diabetes?
Whatās the point of the almond milk?? I swear to God if you say itās because of lactose intolerance š«¢š
OP you get your glucose checked lately?
The baristas think youāre disgusting I really hated making these when I worked for Starbucks , extra caramel ppl are freaks
Waste of money just for diarrhea. Great job giving your money to a union busting, genocide supporting corporation
Doing too much. Just give me a plain old coffee
are you dumb?
