How is that a coffee?
That’s like the rich ppl expensive sugar drink no? Is that what americans call coffee?
Where I live u easily pay 10usd for those drinks.
By coffee I mean a mug. (With maybe milk and sugar).
It’s a caffeinated milkshake. But yes, it is what a lot of young adults call their daily “coffee.” A latte is about the same price though.
The cheapest thing on the menu is $4.30 for a small drip coffee.
That's how the corporations figured out how to make more money on coffee. Through advertising, influencers, and the addictive qualities of sugar, many people who drink "coffee" are actually drinking very little of it and instead are having very unhealthy sugary milkshakes (with or without real milk).
