Starbucks Iced Coffee

Hey CG readers! Check me out on Twitter and MySpace and make me feel loved! :P The Facebook page is coming too soon, and I'm still working on updating the Twitter and MySpace

Star Bucks Iced CoffeeI stopped at the local Heinen’s (Ohio grocery chain) today to pick up an energy drink or two, and while I was there, I learned that this particular Heinen’s was seriously lacking in it’s caffeine selection. I also learned that they keep the dog food in the same aisle as the charcoal and insecticide. However, even though the selection of caffeine was mediocre and the dog food was by insecticide, the people were friendly and even the often angst-ridden, distraught, half-asleep teenager that bags the groceries as a summer job smiled at me, so I left content. The Starbucks Iced Coffee (Italian Roast) is an 11 oz can that contains: Coffee, nonfat milk, sugar, cream (to cancel out the nonfat property of the milk) and preservatives. It cost me a $1.99 which is a good price considering this is Starbucks. The can doesn’t label the caffeine content, but I was able to look it up and it contains 200 mg of caffeine per bottle. Not bad at all. It’s going to be difficult to describe this product, because it’s basically just watered down coffee with milk. It is very tasty, and went down well chilled, and it tastes like coffee with cream, milk and sugar after you put ice in it. It’s taste however, isn’t that distinct from the other coffee drinks out there, including the rest of Starbucks canned coffee beverages and competitor products. So, while this drink doesn’t stand out much from the rest, the price, taste, and caffeine content makes Starbucks Iced Coffee worth trying.
