Beverages Update

[c9]

I forgot to mention that I tracked down nutritional information for my other ridiculous beverage of choice, the Second Cup Icepresso Chiller. It's been added to the chart.

Verdict?

McDonald's is evil due to being a corporation. But it's convenient and cheap.
Starbucks is evil due to be being a corporation, but good due to being ethically sound and nice to its employees.
Second Cup wants to be an evil corporation but will probably get squashed between Starbucks and Tim Hortons*.

Health Verdict?

McDonald's: unhealthy in every way but fibre.
Starbucks and Second Cup: essentially equal in their "more healthy than McDonald's but not quite Health Food" status.

* which I note has officially lost the apostrophe in both languages.

I know that if Starbucks came up with a size larger than venti - that most partners would refuse to make them. Venti's already difficult enough to make given the logistics of everything. Big Gulps come out of a dispenser whereas our drinks are made to order.
