I like Starbucks but I don't go there for coffee, I go there for coffee-flavored milkshakes. This thread suggests I'm not alone.

This is not coffee !!!

I love it lol

Starbucks is amazing!

I have never had an over priced Starbucks. I have not missed a thing. Some of those sound horrible.

the coffee tastes like pee with a touch of sugar

Milkshakes and status symbols

YEAH! That’s exactly what I was thinking, how do they come up with these? Are they ex employees who figured out a magic combo after hours? Do they have a syrup collection at home they experiment with to figure out a perfect pump to coffee ratio? Is it part of a math or science class somewhere? I didn’t even know you could ask for a specific amount of pumps of this or that.

I go to Starbucks a lot, 5 to 7 times a week. After awhile you can taste what is in certain things. I don’t like the blends super sweet things, like Frappuccino’s, so I can’t tell you much about those.

Ok so I work there and most of the time when these people come through it's because they either work at a coffee place and get bored and mess around, or they're just adventurous and willing to spend a lot of money.
