Oh, Starbucks. I had such high hopes for the line of “Skinny Lattes” you introduced a few months ago. For years now, I’ve been ordering a tall, nonfat, sugarfree vanilla latte, with no whip (3 points on Weight Watchers!) and I was actually looking forward to just ordering a “Skinny Vanilla Latte” instead.
So, what happened? When you guys decided to start marketing your coffee to fat people on a diet health conscious consumers, you just … jacked up the recipe? I was all excited to taste my Brand New Skinny Vanilla Latte a couple of months ago, and it tasted…kind of blah! Overly sweet, really artificial – just lame. But, I decided to try one again, and the girls and I headed over to Starbucks this morning for a little snack. I got another Skinny Vanilla Latte, and…it tasted like crap! It’s so overly sweet! It tastes like the milk that remains in the bowl after you eat a bowl of Frosted Flakes – slightly warmed. The coffee I make at home and add fat free vanilla creamer to tastes WAY better! And it doesn’t cost me three dollars!
Booooo, Starbucks.
P.S. The mocha skinny latte isn’t too bad. Still not worth the hype, though!
