The only thing that soothes my soul is that they are drinking four times their daily suggested allowance for sugar and twice as much fat.
It's diabetes in a cup.
I asked a regular why they switched to this drink. They said that they couldn't decide for themselves what to order. How nice it must be to put your life on "auto-pilot" and let complete strangers tell you what to eat and drink through an app.

BeeSwaggy [OP] 27 points 2y ago

They just let TikTok decide for them 🤦🏻‍♀️

KerrisdaleKaren 34 points 2y ago

Let ~~Jesus~~ Diabeetus take the wheel

LMAO!!

when I was a teenager my friend and I always stopped at the dunkin' drive thru on our way to work after school and I just always got what she got.

it wasn't until years later i realized a large iced mocha extra extra is just health problems waiting to happen

swanpjm 96 points 2y ago

someone ordered this but wanted double the pumps of white mocha plus vanilla and i swear it was an inch and a half of syrup 😭😭 i felt sick to my stomach making it

-dys-functional 43 points 2y ago

I had someone order a salted caramel mocha, with white mocha. Not sub white mocha. And it was a grande. 4 pumps mocha, 4 pumps toffee, 4 pumps white mocha, and then extra whip to boot.

swanpjm 25 points 2y ago

would they like some espresso with that or—

Mr-Doodle420 9 points 2y ago

I don't think there is space anymore in the cup for the espresso...

-dys-functional 8 points 2y ago

There was but omg it did NOT mix well. I tried to the best of my ability but there is only so much 1 person can do

-dys-functional 4 points 2y ago

To my surprise, no change to espresso so the regular 2 shots in it

awkwardart8 7 points 2y ago

Orders like this make it perfectly clear why we have an obesity problem. Also I think I got a cavity just reading that order.

different_as_can_be 3 points 2y ago

YES i made this a few days ago and i felt sick

Good_Swimmer00 1 points 2y ago

Someone came to my store to order a Caramel macchiato but instead of milk they wanted sweet cream

beccaboo2u 1 points 2y ago

Omg... That is fucking awful

isglitteracolor 55 points 2y ago

You’re just lucky they say no whip. At my store they order it with no ice, SCCF, whip, AND extra caramel drizzle and somehow expect you to build it without the whip sinking into the foam or ruining the Instagram photo op. It’s like playing Jenga, but sticky and depressing.

InfernalAngelblades 15 points 2y ago

> It’s like playing Jenga, but sticky and depressing.

I hate how accurate this r/Brandnewsentence is

BeeSwaggy [OP] 13 points 2y ago

Yes 🙄 I always try to ask bc it’s ridiculous

isglitteracolor 28 points 2y ago

Same, people around here just insist they want the whip too. I have one regular who also gets it made with sweet cream instead of milk, plus PCCF, WC, and XCR. And 12 pumps WM and 12 vanilla. I gag every time I have to make it.

SchemingPancake 11 points 2y ago

I’m so genuinely concerned 😱😱

isglitteracolor 14 points 2y ago

She gets it at least once a day, sometimes twice. I’m surprised she hasn’t gained 20lbs since the PSL launch

NyanBecca 6 points 2y ago

That’s honestly one of the most disgusting things I’ve heard of

isglitteracolor 8 points 2y ago

We also have a regular who gets a trenta SAR no water no ice no berries, 16 pumps classic 8 pumps raspberry. And immediately starts drinking it so it’s not like she’s taking it home and making drinks for a few days.

KittenCatAttack 3 points 2y ago

Does she seem like she has diabetes?

isglitteracolor 6 points 2y ago

Give it a year or so and we shall see

jams1015 2 points 2y ago

Yeah, does she walk around with half-healed wounds?

hautsause 10 points 2y ago

The only way i can do it is if i do the whip inside the dome then tap it to make the whip settle and just pour caramel into the straw hole

jams1015 11 points 2y ago

I'm going to start calling people strawholes. It just sounds like an insult.

isglitteracolor 4 points 2y ago

I usually just apologize for being unable to break the laws of physics and put drizzle on the inside of the cup and on top of the cold foam, then do whip inside the dome lid on top of it. Ruins their Instagram moment, waaaaah

CS3883 5 points 2y ago

I stopped asking if they wanted the whip and just take it off. I'm not sure if that's the proper way for things according to Starbucks but like you said it's like playing jenga and we don't have time for that shit lol. I'm sure most if not all won't even notice anyways unless they want to be a pain in the ass.

I mean if you think about it...sweet cream is heavy whip, vanilla and 2% milk. Whip cream is just heavy whip and vanilla. So what really are you adding to it by having whip cream for taste?

isglitteracolor 1 points 2y ago

But it’s for the ~aesthetic~

kaitlyn_vargas 39 points 2y ago

They cost 7.79 for a vent and. 7.14 for a grande with tax I’m not one for remembering the price of anything not even pink drinks but this drink gets sold so often I know the price! Every time i ready ice venti white mocha i automatically put no whip extra caramel drizzle and vanilla sweet cream foam

MonstrousGiggling 23 points 2y ago

Its mind blowingly expensive! As others said its all sugar and fat too.

isglitteracolor 21 points 2y ago

A little over $9 for a venti at my licensed store! I love when kids come in and order tik tok drinks and then the parents flip out at them over the price. Sorry kid, hope your drink was worth having to do the dishes for the next week to make up for it.

pineapplegnome 23 points 2y ago

omg i didnt realize this was a tiktok drink. i made it my last shift and thought how disgustingly sweet it must have been. ngl it looks aesthetically pleasing tho

BeeSwaggy [OP] 22 points 2y ago

I hate how pretty it looks 😔

pineapplegnome 10 points 2y ago

If u do the caramel drizzle like a machiatto, it looks perfect.

MonstrousGiggling 10 points 2y ago

I handed one to this college aged woman today and she was soooo gleeful and joyful about how it looked i couldn't help but be happy too.

pineapplegnome 10 points 2y ago

moments that make it all worth it :)

avjvnv 2 points 2y ago

I keep googling to find a picture and no luck! I don’t have tiktok

Critical50 19 points 2y ago

Why I left.

I hate making frappucinos. They're just annoying.

And now, every other drink requires us to run back and forth from cold bar to hot bar, for ONE drink.

Jeffuk88 11 points 2y ago

Try a mall kiosk, then you can stand on the spot and just pivot between cash, hot bar and cold bar. No fun when there's more than 3 drinks though

isglitteracolor 6 points 2y ago

Same thing at a tiny licensed store! I miss having more than one Mastrena so I could actually run midday tabs though.

Khamilto48 17 points 2y ago

Oh yes I wish as well and then pumpkin cream foam on top of white mochas/iced triple chais came along and now every other drink I make is this or that 😭😭

BeeSwaggy [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Yessss 😣

[deleted] 13 points 2y ago

I had someone order it with sweet cream INSTEAD OF MILK

rollerderbydyke 11 points 2y ago

I feel like we should be allowed to cut people off like bartenders sometimes

CS3883 2 points 2y ago

I have a few people that get pink drinks with sweet cream (gag) and also fraps with sweet cream. It's disgusting

krenner14 1 points 2y ago

Imagine a pink drink... with heavy cream (gag)

c_reckless35 9 points 2y ago

But on a side note, maybe some of these people get these drinks because its their little guilty pleasure for the day. Like someone smoking

matroid21 4 points 2y ago

I’m sorry but a venti doesn’t seem like a guilty pleasure. 26 ounces of anything isn’t a guilty pleasure.

[deleted] 8 points 2y ago

i remember seeing the original girls video telling people to try this drink and i remember thinking “if this blows up i’m going to kms” and then the next day it had hundreds of thousands of likes

SensibleCardigan 8 points 2y ago

I hate the tik tokker who started this.

beccaboo2u 2 points 2y ago

Let's find them and make them pay

OLDMAN8331 8 points 2y ago

"Can you add strawberry puree to the cold foam?" (me , silently "Aahhhhhhhh!!!")

ladyelenawf 1 points 2y ago

I've learned to make my own cold foam at home, so it's not like I'm going to do this to a batista...but does that actually work?

I like adding pumpkin pie spices and chocolate syrup to my mix. It's like the cream out of a whoopie pie.

hopelovepeace33 8 points 2y ago

I fucking hate those damn drinks! So many basic bitches rolling up “can I get an iced white mocha with vanilla sweet cream foam” driving my absolutely INSANE 🤦🏻‍♀️

CarelessKai 7 points 2y ago

im at a point where if someone orders a venti wm i just type the rest of that drink in

babebababoo 6 points 2y ago

i knew what it was before looking @ the photo

chstarr7 5 points 2y ago

We ran out of white mocha.

Luv_1313 5 points 2y ago

Yes by the time the drink is made it's more like dessert 😂.

EeePeeTee 5 points 2y ago

Tell them it's called a "Spirit Fingers".

c_reckless35 5 points 2y ago

I just want to know how many calories and grams of sugar it has in it

official_koda_ 5 points 2y ago

I’m pretty sure a barista came up with this and posted themselves. What the hell was going on in there mind.

princeadakias 4 points 2y ago

we have customers who mobile order like 8 grandes of these at a time. they’re not quite regular but they’ve done it more than once and it always just instantly sets off chaos whenever the stickers start printing. the best part that i think they’re for a dentist office because whoever picks them up is always wearing scrubs

NyanBecca 4 points 2y ago

That one and the iced chai with pumpkin cream cold foam

quality_reading 4 points 2y ago

That one girl on tiktok who made the "tie-dye" frappachino, but wasn't a partner during the promotion 🤮🤮

A lot of the new baristas at my store are like this and I HATE it. You shouldn't make us re-live that horrible weekend when you haven't had to live a weekend promotion like it.

izzzzzzzzzzzzzy 4 points 2y ago

I love making them tho, very aesthetically pleasing.

hecaete47 4 points 2y ago

Tbh I kinda wanna try what this tastes like...

matroid21 6 points 2y ago

You can feel your heart racing and your blood turn to syrup.

hautsause 3 points 2y ago

Sometimes when they don’t say no whip i add the whip.

BeeSwaggy [OP] 4 points 2y ago

I shove it all in the dome lid and say good luck when I hand it off

hautsause 3 points 2y ago

I need to get like you

External_Smoke_1140 2 points 2y ago

i don’t ask if they want whip anymore. u order that drink u don’t get whip. the sweet cream foam is close enough just FUCKING DRINK IT

beccaboo2u 2 points 2y ago

Decaf all those mother fuckers

[deleted] 2 points 2y ago

Literally I hear someone order a venti iced white mocha or a venti iced chai latte and I feel the fear in my veins

Luv_1313 2 points 2y ago

How bout vanilla iced chai made with vanilla sweet cream than topped with pumpkin cold foam. Really people don't you have anything better to do or drink 🙄🙄😂

annaeclipsing 2 points 2y ago

My favorite thing is being up front and teenagers come in all the time asking how much it would cost for this abomination and I proudly say EIGHT BUCKS! And they’re like “oh....” and they leave. So good 🙏🤩

DerSnowBunns 2 points 2y ago

Ahhh the dreaded tiktok drink..... at least that's what I've called it since that is all I know of the dimension from which it was birthed...

SaltySeilde 1 points 2y ago

I honestly don’t mind this one. It’s not the worst TikTok drink that’s come up.

Pixel1015 1 points 2y ago

Sam the Barista loves to start this shit.
