Favorite Starbucks Drink!

[catiebug]

Peppermint Hot Chocolate
Mocha Valencia (and it kills me that they've replaced the valencia syrup with a too-sweet orange syrup)

Also, I refuse to buy into Starbuck's nomenclature, so I specifically ask for a small, medium or large coffee. Does anyone else do that?

Vente skinny cinnamon dolce latte, no whip.

One of my Kappa friends worked at Starbucks when she was interviewing after she relocated, and swears that the most often ordered drink is a vanilla latte.

At the store I worked at in a Seattle suburb, by far the most popular drink was the tall nonfat vanilla latte.

And my friend was in Portland, OR, so maybe it's a Pacific Northwest preference?

Preferences certainly vary by region. In L.A. they drink cappuccinos instead of lattes, for instance. But what's weird about a vanilla latte?

I do. Then they repeat my order with the Starbucks word. I'm just like, whatever.

This thread SUCKS because I gave up Frappacinos for Lent. I like the Caramel and the Cinnamon. But I actually like the Caramel or Vanilla ones you can get in the bottle better than the ones you buy at the store. You can swill them quickly and get a massive buzz.

And the ones in the bottle are probably a LOT better for you - a grande caramel frappuchino is 380 calories and 15g of fat! Mind you, if you don't do the whipped cream the fat content drops like a lead balloon!

LOL. I think their nomenclature is stupid, but I also think that their prices are beyond ridiculous.

Of course, I don't like coffee that much to begin with, and when I do drink it, I want cream and sugar and that's it -- no foam, no espresso, no syrups. I go in a Starbucks maybe once a year, and I order hot chocolate.

Yeah, I'm boring.
