PPM Version:
A guy in Texas just figured out the recipe for the most expensive Starbucks drink ever . . . and he ordered it. It involves a Java Chip Frappuccino with 16 extra shots of espresso and scoops of all sorts of fruit purees and powders. The total cost was $23.60 . . . and it has enough caffeine to put you in the HOSPITAL if you finish it.
Full Story:
I'm not sure why you'd try to make Starbucks MORE expensive, but this guy did it. 22-year-old Logan Warren of Nacogdoches, Texas decided to figure out a combination for the most expensive drink POSSIBLE at Starbucks. Here's what he got:
--A Java Chip Frappuccino for $4.75 in a 31-ounce Trenta cup.
--16 shots of espresso for $12 and a shot of soy milk for 60 cents.
--A scoop of banana puree for $1, strawberry puree for 60 cents, protein powder for 50 cents, and Matcha powder for 75 cents.
--Plus caramel flavoring for 50 cents, vanilla beans for 50 cents, and a caramel and mocha drizzle for 60 cents.
--Total cost? $23.60, not including the tip he gave the baristas for taking 20 MINUTES to make the drink. Logan actually didn't even pay for it . . . because he had a coupon for a free birthday drink.
--He says the taste was, quote, "Tolerable but not good. Imagine a coffee-based health food smoothie." It also has 1,400 milligrams of caffeine . . . that's SO much that if you drank the whole thing, you'd probably end up in the hospital.

STARBUCKS COMEDY: A California man is suing Starbucks, claiming they didn't hire him for a position because he only has one arm. Ironically, the man's condition came about when he bought a Grande Latte that cost an arm and a leg.
