Let's Put a Stop to Starbucks Drinkzilla Arms Race Insanity
Posted in: Uncategorized
A guy named Andrew from Dallas is in the news for concocting and ordering a $54.75 drink at Starbucks. As Consumerist reports,
“Andrew set what is, as far as we can determine, a world record for the most expensive drink possible at Starbucks. Tamping down the previous known record at $47.30 is the Sexagintuple Vanilla Bean Mocha Frappuccino at $54.75. Andrew didn’t actually hand over that much money for his 128-ounce espresso milkshake. He’s a Gold member of Starbucks’ loyalty program, which entitles him to one free drink after every twelve that he buys.”
His local Starbucks barista let him bring in his own cup (that’s the 128-ounce part) and then brewed up 60 shots of espresso (that’s the “Sexagintuple” part) to mix with his other chosen ingredients to create a custom-made concoction. On his Twitter feed, Andrew doesn’t furnish his last name, but he did post a photo of his beverage along with a shot of a receipt for $54.75 — less a “reward” credit for the same amount — from Starbucks Store #6329 at 3699 McKinney Avenue in Dallas.
