Millions of people get their sugar fix daily at Starbucks. We’ve had Chinese food, movie popcorn, pizza, and others nutrionally critiqued. Why hasn’t Starbucks been scrutinized? Any ideas?
White chocolate Frappuccino® roast coffee, milk and ice get together for what might be the best thing that happens to you all day. Oh and there’s whipped cream on top.

Lots of people comment negatively about Charbucks; price, calories, etc. Lots of food are criticized, direct/produce your own Supersize Me if you like.
I have a friend whose daughter went off to college and he found 450 bucks of Starbucks charges on her first month’s CC bill. He asked what up and was told, “Two Frapaccinos per day, why?”
Since the cardiologist took me off most caffeine my Starbucks go-to is a Grande Low-fat Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino with no whipped cream. Pretty tasty… considering.
I’ve seen lots of nutrition articles criticizing Starbucks specialty drinks. But, it’s not rocket science, I don’t recall seeing criticism of chocolate peanut butter cup pies, either.
I’ll never get the spoofilated Starbuckized coffee everyone is drinking these days. I’m a traditionalist, dark roast with a splash of milk to take the heat off. Plus I manage to save at least 3 days a year in time I do not spend waiting in line for coffee fat laden artery clogging coffee drink and about $2k/yr by making my own coffee at home.
More likely because criticizing a coffee chain for dispensing caffeine is silly. You don’t see a lot of people wasting time complaining that Dunkin’ Donuts products are fattening, either.
