Re: I Have a Confession to Make

I can't stand the taste of coffee in the least, so not something I'd ever have for just that reason. 

 

The calories and sugar level wouldn't deter me for an occasional treat that I absolutely loved. The older I get, the more I pick and choose my bad food choices, but I don't totally give them up. I still partake occasionally, those that I really like and I feel are worth the 'risk'.

Re: I Have a Confession to Make

I have two cups of coffee every morning with milk. I don’t have sugar in my house. Would never drink flavored or sugared coffee.

Re: I Have a Confession to Make

I find it strange that people would never taste some foods or beverages.

 

  I cant imaging going my whole life not having something I liked just because it is loaded with sugar.  Its called moderation.  You dont have to have several, 1 piece of pie, cake or a fancy latte or other beverage.

 

Of course allergies and other medical problems would come into play here and should not be consumed.

@Imaoldhippie  Well I don't believe everything I read on message boards.

@Imaoldhippie   There is nothing wrong with a slice of cake.  Or two.  LOL

Latte....coffee plus whole milk (or light cream)....NOTHING else for me.

 

My daughter, however, loves the pumpkin spice lattes!

My Confession:

 

I've never had S'Mores...

 

Love Graham Crackers and Hershey's Chocolate, but I absolutely HATE Marshmallows - Eww!

All I can think about is all of the sugar and calories in one of those things.  

 

A Grande has 380 calories, and a whopping 50 grams of sugar!😮

 

 

Is there something that everyone else seems to love, that you have never tried?


@Anonymous032819   I can see a person trying one but some make getting beverages at Starbucks like some kind of badge of honor.  It's expensive 

 

 

One thing we really dislike about Starbucks is the mom/pop coffee shops have all but disappeared.

 

We have had a few coffees/lattes/etc. at Starbucks through the years but do not go there anymore.  Never had the pumpkin latte, though.

 

Plus all those flavored "coffees" do not list coffee as the first ingredient.

Re: I Have a Confession to Make

I don't drink hot drinks or the taste of tea even sweet tea. so I am weird. But a caramel Frappuccino from Starbucks (minus the whip cream) is a wonderful treat. The petite scones are really good too.  I don't care for anything pumpkin including pie so even the pumpkin spice cold frappuccino holds no interest.  Starbucks smells so good sometime I wish I drank coffee, so many choices.

Re: I Have a Confession to Make

Those Sonics commercials on TV with the ice cream treats....they look so good, but who would eat such a sugar fat calorie laden food? Not me  I have not eaten junk food/ fast food  at all for going on 30 years. I just could not eat such cra* and think about my body having to digest it.
