Drink it all really fast, then run outside and blow yourself up.

This little Dennis Leary gem is the first thing that came to mind when I started reading this. $61, to each their own I guess.

Basically, it’s 60 shots of espresso with a couple of squirts of syrup. You can break this record yourself the next time the price of coffee goes up.

Stupid to use the loyalty card.

The statement by Starbucks says 31 ounces is the limit, so it might not actually be a Starbucks drink even though it was made at a Starbucks.

Wouldn’t someone actually have to consume the drink for it to be considered a drink?

Starbucks .... The home away from home for
millenials, queers, sons out of their basements,
antigunners, and now, mohammedans.

Wilkow on SiriusXM Patriot channel 125. Well, he may be echoing you. I just heard him talking about third world problems and first world problems and how we are going the way of Venezuela which had first world problems until Chavez took over and then they have shortages of everything including water. Imagine having water rationed to only three days per week. That is happening in Caracas.That is third world.

It’s already happening in Detroit, in a way. They refuse to pay their water bills and think we should pay them.

In contrast, I have to convince the barista that for my free drink I really do just want a “tall dark black”. No, I don’t want a venti loaded with sugar and fat! Coffee please, just...coffee, sensibly sized.

"What record was she out to break? She sought to make the most expensive single free Starbucks drink of all time."

Was it free? Or was it $57.75?

Frito: Yeah, well, I really don't think we have time for a hand job, Joe.

Starbucks hasn’t sued? Even though they stole the name from Herman Melville.

The drink would have been $57.75, but she had a “free drink” credit. There is no limit on what that drink can be; most people get the biggest most elaborate thing they can. (I have to explain that I really do just want a normal sized coffee, nothing in it.)
