  • No no no that’s not what I meant. I ABSOLUTELY see what you mean though.

    I was more speaking on the idea that people with similar ideas tend to congregate, but when you’ve got such different places as Florida and California for example, there is bound to be significant infighting. That’s like the UK sharing a tent with Iraq. They’re separated by like 2500 miles, these are people’s with different priorities, different lifestyles, different cultures. Its not to say they can’t get along, but it should be under a federation more similar to the EU, a coalition of independent smaller Nations. NOT directly under the same national flag, and forced to be under the same code of laws.

    Like, I get that this is skating the line of being xenophobic, but my intention isn’t to prevent people from coming into a space, it is to prevent the space from expanding to contain people who don’t want to be in it.

    Edit: my distance was wrong, its still the same frlm place to place though








  • Venti cold cups are 26 oz, the others are the same as their hot counterparts.

    If your beverage was an iced tea, those are always made in a separate Container.

    You can get it with the extra liquid, but you MUST be specific and mention you’d like “Lite ice, filled to the brim” or they’ll use the recipe card which will get you a less filled cup.

    Back when I was a barista I trained my team to just make a sized up when folks ask for lite ice (because fuck corporate’s bottom line idgaf) and just use the ice scoop for the size down (ie, venti lire code gets trenta recipe with grande ice).




  • The ice cubes are hollow. The ice cubes have about 6-8 fl oz total displacement (its so weird to talk about displacement in freedom units) in that size. Volumetrically: you’re absolutely right, they fill the cup entirely. Go into a starbucks and watch them make drinks, they add the ice last, which shows you exactly how much liquid you’re getting (its the top black line, those are measurements)

    Edit: I’m not saying you’re not getting ripped off, you are, but not nearly as badly as it looks.




  • Thats a Venti Iced cold foam cold brew which contains about 18 oz of liquid.

    Orleans Coffee claims that a 12 oz Serving of cold brew has between 170 and 245 mg caffeine. Let’s take the average of that: about 207. Compare to our 18 oz of coffee above: 207*1.5=310.5 mg.

    That’s more than two regular cups of coffee.

    While y’all have been complaining about desert coffee not being real coffee, the rest of us have been earning untenable caffeine addictions at the hands of cold brew and iced lattes.

    I could be wrong that its cold brew, it could be an iced latte in which case, it’d be about 225 mg (assuming no extra shot, it suspiciously dark for a standard iced latte though)
