i killed starbucks

Monday, November 06, 2006

Last week I talked about my mom and her new love of Starbuck's. She kept asking about the calories in one of those drinks. That is just something that I try not to think about. Well my curiousity got the best of me and decided to check them out. Um, yeah...a tall White Chocolate Mocha with whip cream is 460 calories. Wha...huh??? 460 calories, are you kidding me? I mean, I figured there was a lot but 460? Seriously. (Check out all of the calories here. If you dare!)

I didn't want to tell my mom but I knew I had to. I emailed her with some of the calories for the drinks we get. She emailed me back and said she was drinking her coffee black from now on. (Which of course, she could never do.) I guess it's only appropriate that I introduced my mom to the wonderful world of Starbucks and I was the one that took it all away. She did get a tall nonfat white chocolate mocha with no whip yesterday...but let's face it, it's just not as fun.
