［ダラス ２９日 ロイター］ - 米テキサス州の男性が、同州のスターバックスで、金額５４．７５ドル（約５５００円）の「最も値段が高い商品」を注文する出来事があった。ただ、飲み物が無料になる特典を利用したため、代金を支払うことはなかった。
アンドリュー・チファリさん（２７）は今月２４日、１２８オンス（約３．８リットル）の特大グラスをスターバックスに持参し、そのグラスに入る最も値段の高い「フラペチーノ」を注文。すると、エスプレッソが６０ショットも入った上に、山盛りのホイップクリームが乗ったメガサイズのフラペチーノが用意された。
チファリさんはその日に３分の１を、残りを少しずつ飲み、購入から５日後の２８日にようやく飲み切ったと説明。「２日目以降は氷も溶け、ただの濃いアイスコーヒーになった」と話した。
チファリさんが特典を最大活用したこの注文について、スターバックスは、他の顧客にはまねをしてほしくないとし、「この注文は明らかに行き過ぎだ。われわれが推奨するものではない」と語った。

Caramel Brulee Latte(01 of05)

This prime example of end-of-the-empire decadence jams 580 calories, twenty grams of fat, and eighty-five grams of carbs into its scant twenty ounces. \r\n\r\n Photo Credit: Starbucks \r\n
White Hot Chocolate(02 of05)
You may as well pour the contents of your local diner’s grease trap directly into your carotid artery. The White Hot Chocolate contains more saturated fat than a six-piece bucket of fried chicken at KFC and about as many calories as a chicken alfredo calzone at the Olive Garden.\n\nPhoto Credit: © Flickr /joshwept\n

Caramel Apple Spice Drink(04 of05)
This item, billed as a “kid’s drink,” is basically a gigantic glass of simple syrup: it contains no nutritional benefits and the same amount of sugar as five Hostess Twinkies. Your teeth would prefer you slept with a retainer made out of Twizzlers.\n\n Photo Credit: Starbucks \n
Eggnog Latte(05 of05)

Thin Mint Frappuccino(01 of10)
Another drink that borrows its name and flavor from the Girl Scout Cookie repertoire is this creation, which, according to commenter Julie Adkins is made by blending the Tazo Green Tea Crème Frappuccino with chocolate syrup and java chips. According to her, it’s \"heaven in a cup.\" We imagine adding a pump of peppermint syrup wouldn’t hurt the combination either.\n\nMore on The Daily Meal:Best Fruit and Vegetable Combinations for Juice Diets\n\nPhoto Credit: © Flickr/TerryJohnston
