Everything here is false equivalency. Starbucks sells regular coffee, it looks just like your AI pics you include, and the calorie count is going to be quite low. Yes, sugary drinks are sugary. You can also get lattes without any syrup in them, and while you can certainly argue that Starbucks beans aren’t the best in the industry, their lattes are pretty similar to lattes at any coffee shop.
This whole post is like “You shouldn’t go to McDonalds because they have a mcdouble cheeseburger with 1000 calories in it and you could make a salad at home.”
Also, I’d like to acknowledge that this sub is called “You Should Know”, which to me implies it should be about important educational facts, not opinion pieces.

Some tea contains caffeine, caffeine is addictive, so some teas are addictive.
I don’t like Starbucks, but Mackies have a very solid coffee here.
Though nothing trumps even cheap beans and a little aeropress or a v60 at home.
Regular Starbucks coffee is vile, it’s only drinkable when you mask the flavour with junk.
