STARBUCKS AND PARIS

An American couple wearing shorts, untied sneakers, and baseball caps (mercifully, not turned backwards), walked into a fancy chocolate shop on the Left Bank.  They each were toting hefty venti lattes from the nearby Starbucks.  In Paris, this is like someone hauling a gallon jug of milk into the middle of Tiffany on Fifth Avenue and taking swigs from it.

WORST ESPRESSO DRINK?

Harmful Drinks in America nominates this as the Worst Espresso Drink:
Starbucks Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha with Whipped Cream (venti, 20 fl oz)

660 calories
22 g fat (15 g saturated)
95 g sugars

Sugar Equivalent: 8½ scoops Edy’s Slow Churned Rich and Creamy Coffee Ice Cream

SPEAKING OF HIGHWAYS

Florida Turnpike officials--seriously, the replacement of Starbucks with Dunkin' Donuts at refreshment areas, not a good idea.
