Many Americans make their morning trudge over to Starbucks for that first cup of coffee in the morning.  It is almost a ritual for some; blindly driving, half asleep to the most popular coffee shop in the world.  While there is certainly nothing wrong with having a cup of coffee each morning, there are many who take the Starbucks thing way too far.  “Venti Mocha, extra whip.” “Grande Egg Nog Latte”.  “Triple Expresso with a glazed donut.”  These high calorie, fat filled drinks and snacks will not only clog your arteries, but they will put a serious dent in your finances as well. 

Whipped cream, milk and chocolate may seem like a great idea – for a holiday, but drinking this in large quantities every day will explode your waistline and diminish your health.  The wake up effects of coffee are offset by the massive sugar rush – and crash once the effects wear off.
