Zerosum79 breaks nonpoker related world record?
Well, I have been pretty silent lately. There have been a lot of things in my personal life which caused a prolonged shift from poker to taking care of my business on other fronts. Its probably still not ok to discuss the details but I am finally getting back to some semblance of order in my life.
One of the things that people probably don't know about me is that I am a Starbucks Fanatic. I worked there for close to 3 years in my teens, and still love almost everything about the company and product. I am guessing I have spent more there than I ever made from my time working at Starbucks. However, the gold card loyalty program is something that is a nice perk of spending a lot on coffee there. Every 15 coffee's I buy (tall bold please, no room for cream) earns me a free drink coupon where I can purchase an exciting concoction of unhealthy caffeine, sugar, and milk. After reading a blog post about someone who spent about $14 on a drink I saw my play. There is a new 31oz cup at Starbucks. Since the upper limit on price is really an upper limit on volume, I realized I had a chance at something great. A world record for the most expensive coffee drink ever produced by starbucks...
My friend Arbi is a great blogger and can tell the story much better than I can so go visit this site for some fun pictures and an accounting of how I now hold the world record for purchasing the most expensive Starbucks drink ever. $26.80??? Anyone know how to contact the Guinness world record people?

Congrats? I’m pretty sure I could eat for a week on the price of that one cup of whatever it was. Looking at the picture, I’m a bit disappointed that it’s not topped with whipped cream or something, which is an odd sentiment for a vegan, but I expected the thing too look fruitier, which is a less odd sentiment for a vegan. Run sentence, run.

Yeah it was pretty disgusting to spend $26.80 after years as a grad student eating for like a week on that budget. The funny thing is I asked them to put wiped cream on it but they would not. The tops that are domed do not go up to that size and that size was crucial since its really a cost/volume issue to get the drink to be that expensive.
I did get some soy in there though! Guessing the vegans will like that?

Yes, vegan approved on account of soy!
