Starbucks Coffee Love... Too Much?

This story makes me laugh every time I read it!
I personally LOVE coffee, but I usually don't drink it, unless I'm in the States, because I can't get past Starbucks there :P So, next time you get coffee, think what you'd like to add... cause this young man clearly didn't know the limits! :D

Logan Warren, 22, an IT consultant who works for company Geeks On Call, went to his local Starbucks branch with a reward card and reportedly came up with the 'most expensive drink ever'. The super-sized, 31-oz coffee took half an hour to make. Mr Warren started with a java chip frappuccino and then upgraded the coffee to a 'trenti' size - a practice now outlawed by Starbucks branches.
The coffee lover then asked for extras to be added - 16 shots of espresso, a shot of soy milk, caramel flavoring, banana puree, strawberry puree, vanilla beans, Matcha powder, protein powder, and a drizzle of caramel and mocha.
The drink had an estimated 1400mg of caffeine - the equivalent of 41 cans of Coca-Cola. <:O

The estimated calorie content of the drink was a whopping 700 calories.
Thankfully Mr Warren's experimental drink, which was a reward on his birthday last year from Starbucks, was not intended for consumption. After just a few sips, he described the drink on his blog as 'tolerable but not good'.
The trenti-size (310oz) is now only available for iced coffees and teas. :D


Mr Warren's pricey caffeine hit beats the previous record, set by blogger Michael Dolen who rang up a bill for $20.65 with another improvised drink. It was based on a venti (200oz) white chocolate mocha, which contains two shots of espresso.
To this he added 22 extra espresso shots and ten syrups - classic, vanilla, sugar-free vanilla, hazelnut, sugar-free hazelnut, caramel, sugar-free caramel, peppermint, raspberry and toffee nut. Opt for soy milk instead of regular, add extra caramel sauce and the $20 treat is complete.
Mr Dolen reports on businessinsider.com that it contains '1,800 mg of caffeine - equivalent to 22.5 cans of Red Bull'.
