How is that a coffee?
That’s like the rich ppl expensive sugar drink no? Is that what americans call coffee?
Where I live u easily pay 10usd for those drinks.
By coffee I mean a mug. (With maybe milk and sugar).
It’s a caffeinated milkshake. But yes, it is what a lot of young adults call their daily “coffee.” A latte is about the same price though.
The cheapest thing on the menu is $4.30 for a small drip coffee.
That's how the corporations figured out how to make more money on coffee. Through advertising, influencers, and the addictive qualities of sugar, many people who drink "coffee" are actually drinking very little of it and instead are having very unhealthy sugary milkshakes (with or without real milk).
The worst part about it is that Starbucks coffee isn't even good. It's better than McDonald's coffee, yes, but that's like saying having your dick get smashed with a hammer is better than falling out of an airplane without a parachute.
That’s at Peet’s
Never heard of em. Do they make better coffee than Starbucks?
No. If you can fathom the idea of worse coffee than Starbucks.... That is it.
Mm...... :/
It can't be worse than McDonald's coffee .... Can it?
Dunno about McDonald's as I've never had it. But I've never just thrown out a barely-drunk cup of coffee before Peet's. It was undrinkable to me.
Yeah that's McDonald's, too. It was not the worst coffee I've ever had, but it was the worst coffee that I think was intentionally that way. Undrinkable.
