So it didn’t. I’ve circled back to this blog posting four years later and please don’t mind me while I argue with myself a bit.
That picture is showing what the equivalent calorie count looks like in ice cream for a Venti Starbucks Latte. It did for a little while, (thirty minutes?) but it really ultimately didn’t change my life. Yes, I know, I’m a hyperbolistic sort of fellow. But that picture SHOULD change your life right? I mean… if it was clear that a Venti had like a BILLION calories in it… switch to drip dangit! Go ahead and put full cream in it, because at that point you can afford the calories. But a Latte? No. No. We need to move along and choose something different. I mean, look at that monster!
Alright, so because no one will notice that I’ve circled back to this post, I’ll chat with myself then. That picture just changed your life… AGAIN. Alright!? But for longer this time. Venti drips are cheaper! Venti Drips have more caffeine in them!! You want caffeine! There is 115 milligrams in a venti latte. There is 415 in a venti drip!?!? SEE?! Done. Done.
Someone feel free to ask how I’m doing. Go ahead interwebs. Keep me accountable to this. Alright? (Knowing fulling well no one will see this, but I’ll LOOK like I’m asking for accountability. Its pretty brilliant.)
