I came across a news report that Starbucks is facing a lawsuit over the labeling of some of its drinks.
The drinks in question were those labeled “sugar-free.”
Despite the label, they actually contained sugar in the form of lactose from milk.
Starbucks rejects the claim, arguing that the only sugar in these drinks comes naturally from the milk, and none is added through syrups or other add-ons, so the label is accurate.
Even so, the Venti size of some of these drinks contains about 13 to 21 grams of sugar, so it’s understandable why the plaintiffs claim the “sugar-free” label is misleading.
I like Starbucks, so I hope this lawsuit will be resolved peacefully.
By the way, I feel like a lot of Starbucks drinks are pretty sweet to begin with.
So, my go-to order is hot or iced drip coffee.
It’s also a great deal thanks to the “One More Coffee” service, which lets you get a second cup of drip coffee at a discount on the same day.
And when I want something creamy, I order a cappuccino.
I think there used to be a lime-based drink called Cool Lime in the summer season, but I haven’t seen it in a long time, and I miss it.
If you have a favorite Starbucks drink as well, please share it in the comments.
