Wow!  That sure does seem like a lot!  I wonder how those compare to those energy drinks like Red Bull and such?

Mountain Dew is a dentist favorite. Had a dentist tell my husband that some time ago.

 

sugar overload and I think caffeine.

The only thing I have ever bought at Starbucks is gift cards to give to High School graduates.  Never drink my calories, unless it is whiskey and even then it is straight up no soda.

Oh my!  That's a crazy amount of caffeine for a drink!  If this is marketed at Starbucks it should certainly have a disclaimer and be only for adults.  Although, it shouldn't be offered to anyone.

You mean to send the aging heart into atrial fibrillation/flutter or worse yet, Vfib arrest.

What?  My mom has A-Fib, so I certainly wouldn't ever want her to drink one of these.


As I said, I really don't think these should be marketed at all!  However, this isn't up to me.  Unfortunately, I don't own any part of Starbucks.  At the very least I believe Starbucks is responsible for letting folks know what these drinks contain.❤️
