genuine q—how are you able to drink anything from starbucks with celiac? our cross contamination is so bad, is there a specific way you rinse/clean blenders when you make your own drinks?
Good-Criticism2400 5 points 11m ago
So I have a really severe case of celiac where my reactions to being contaminated are really bad but I’m lucky in that cross contamination has never caused a reaction for me but the DCC is just something I’ve always been able to have (w/o the cookie crumble ofc lol)

But the frappucino chips that come in that frap have wheat flour in them…
Good-Criticism2400 -24 points 11m ago
Omg I know I just found that out recently!! Idk why but they have never caused a reaction for me it’s very weird lol
gothlene 10 points 11m ago
So your celiacs isn't that severe ...

1.) That's not what gatekeeping is
2.) SEVERE celiacs is you having a reaction when gluten even comes in contact with what you're eating. If eating straight up gluten doesn't give you a reaction then....

Hey the frappe chips have gluten in them! You can't have them! - celiac partner.

Zestyclose_Low1168 5 points 11m ago
It was the same for me! I was mortified when I found out 😅

who the heck puts crumbs on there…
(Maybe when you order, specify that you don’t want toppings on there? I don’t think people automatically think about food sensitivities and are just trying to make the drink pretty)
Good-Criticism2400 -1 points 11m ago
Tbh ur right but I just hate announcing my allergies literally everywhere I go so when I know there’s something I can 100% have I just don’t say anything to be less complicated but clearly in this case that works against me 😂
Lexinecolem 4 points 11m ago
So… you’re gonna complain about a food allergy while simultaneously saying you don’t advise ppl? This feels like a cry for attention.

it isn’t dramatic but you need to tell the baristas because someone’s making it incorrectly and they need to look at the recipe cards. that frap doesn’t come with crumbles

Ngl I get the chocolate cookie crumble and double chocolate chip mixed up all the time and idky I’ve worked there 2 years now but honestly don’t be scared to ask us to remake it. It’s not that big of a deal and we really don’t mind if it’s our fault and definitely w the allergy
Good-Criticism2400 1 points 11m ago
Honestly ur right I just feel terrible esp cause there was a line and just knowing what that’s like I didn’t want to be an extra nuisance on top of it
Hyper_F0cus 1 points 11m ago
My understanding was that everything is contaminated at Starbucks now because of the oat milk and malt powder?

when i was a green bean i put whip at the bottom of this drink and cookie crumbles on top for nearly 3 months bc thats just how i thought it was made 😬
Good-Criticism2400 1 points 11m ago
Tbh it’s a very easy mistake to make! I don’t mean to sound like baristas can’t make mistakes or misunderstand the recipe (Ik I certainly have done both!) I think it’s just the attitude I received at the place when I explained I couldn’t have the drink even tho I did not expect them to remake it at all since they were slammed lol

Double chocolate chip fraps come with cookie crumble toppings though.. am i wrong?
-Mocha cookie crumble gets cookie toppings
-Double chocolatey chip (which is a cream based version of a mocha cookie crumble) get cookie crumble toppings

Its standard. Just get a java chip with extra whip.
mania2k18 13 points 11m ago
you're wrong- the cream version of the mocha cookie crumble is the chocolate cookie crumble. double chocolaty chip is the cream version of the java chip
MLGTheForkOnTheLeft 1 points 11m ago
Man fuck these names for it. Its really confusing to remember exactly. And from the others i see how it is now. So “crumble” is the key word here. Thanks for the info.
Edit: i was wrong.
KaoriLikesWatari 7 points 11m ago
If it doesn’t have crumble in the name it doesn’t get them 🤙
MLGTheForkOnTheLeft 1 points 11m ago
Thats a good way to remember. I just wish they would have not went wacky with all the names.

the double chocolatey chip is the creme based java chip. the creme based version of the mocha cookie crumble is the chocolate cookie crumble.
MLGTheForkOnTheLeft 1 points 11m ago
Fuck me, im stupid. I just see “chocolatey chip” and “cookie” and i just think of cookie. Nothing else.
Well, i know better now.
dysfunctionalleech 4 points 11m ago
no, they both get mocha drizzle but only the mocha cookie crumble gets the cookie crumble :)
MLGTheForkOnTheLeft 1 points 11m ago
All these things are just way to similar to me. Thanks for the info though. I got it now.
Good-Criticism2400 3 points 11m ago
I don’t believe that’s true? I could be wrong but from what I remember there’s no cookie crumble in that recipe (DCC is actually the cream based version of the Java chip which doesn’t have the cookie crumble topping) again I could be wrong I was trained over three years ago lol
MLGTheForkOnTheLeft 1 points 11m ago
You are right. I just got mixed up on which is which. They all sound the same and there names dont really make them stand out to me. Crumble is my word for remembering the damn drink lol.
