You're rude.
Done here.

hmmm... and you weren't being rude a few posts ago when you advised to get the facts straight?

I made quite a bold statement against Starbucks and just wanted to explain why I said it.....in no way do I think that others shouldn't drink Starbucks...its my personal thing..I am not sorry I feel that way.

This is a forum and forums are to post people's opinions. Last time I checked I am a person. (sounds rude, didn't mean it too, couldn't think of another way to say it) And yes, this forum was about Starbucks and no other company...that was not a rude thing to say.

I am sorry if you were personally offended that I don't like Starbucks...but I won't apologize for not liking them.

2 heaping Tbls of General Foods cafe' mocha (the powder mix - in a can)

1/4 tea of Folgers instant coffee

1 C skim milk

blend. then add about 10-12 ice cubes.

General foods coffees has several s/f low carb flavors. I prefer the mocha flavor.

I also am addicted to Starbucks. Did you know that a Grande Mocha Light Frap is only 180 calories? Woohoo!

I love my coffee! I roast my own Beans and I have an espresso machine to make my own Iced mochas which is extremley cheap! I use non fat milk and 1 tablespoon of hershey's chocolate. you can buy the flavorings just about anywhere now, just moved to east TN (1906, I think is the yr here) from Seattle. Couldn't find ANYWHERE for coffee except Starbucks, :mad: and they are 25 miles from my house. So once again I had to take matters into my own hands, just like my surgery (insurance co. refused). Seems to be a trend in my life?

Call me a tight a$$, I just can't bring myself to pay that price for a cup of coffee. Plus, I'm so intimidated by all the fancy names and the types of coffee, yikes, how do you know what to chose?

I had a girl working for me and every morning she would walk in at least 8-10 minutes late, yep you guessed it, always had time to get that Starbucks coffee, yet she always claimed poverty, never had a dime to her name, go figure, LOL.

ha ha ...you so are funny. I think its a status thing. I am holding out till its cool to drink Wawa Iced Mocha Mint....then I will be cool too.

two of my daughters are baristas at coffee stands in Wa state. They know how to whip out those *&&^%%*(_)^%$# drinks that people order! I guess I am just simple, they don't drink starbucks at all. No one in Seattle really does, their coffee tastes burnt to me. I know I should be drinking sf chocolate, but the small amount I put in there only has 50 calories and with the NF milk, (my dairy for the day) it's maybe 125 cal.

My first post...yippie.

I love Starbucks. I've tried other iced coffees but I always go back to theirs. The closest Starbucks is over an hour - so it is a real treat when I do get one. I get the coffee light frap w/out whip - I believe it is around 1 gram of fat. I realize once I have the band done I won't be drinking the Starbucks ones - to much sugar. Thanks for the recipe - it sounds great.
