Thank you, Fla-Vor-Ice. Without you, and dozens of other products with movie tie-ins, I wouldn’t know what movies are coming out. Okay, that’s a lie. I know what movies are coming out because my friends post the trailers on Facebook. (Spotted by Robbie at H-E-B.)

Would someone like to buy both of these and eat them at the same time? I want to know how hot and sour they’d be together. (Spotted by Breanna at Walmart.)

I know. I know. Five of you sent in photos for JC’s Nudies recently. They’re new to your area, but they’re not new new. But, according to JC’s, this flavor is new. Well, actually, it was announced with the other flavors, but it was released later. (Spotted by Elizabeth L at Stop & Shop.)

FAST FOOD NEWS: Starbucks Caramelized Honey Latte and Frappuccino

Marvo 4 Comments

Caramel Honey Trio

Starbucks’ new Honey Caramelized Honey Latte was created with the moody nature of the spring season in mind. Sometimes it’s cold, wet, and the sun is being antisocial by hiding behind clouds. When there are days like that, you can get a hot Caramelized Honey Latte. And sometimes it’s hot, sunny, and you wish the sun would turn it down a bit. For those days, you can get the beverage in iced or Frappuccino form.

What makes these beverages special is the caramel honey sauce that’s been slow-cooked for 45 minutes, which is 12 hours and 15 minutes less than the last fast food product that shared how long it was cooked for. All three versions feature the slow-cooked sauce, Starbucks’ espresso, and milk. The Frappuccino is also topped with whipped cream and honey sugar sprinkles.

A grande Caramelized Honey Latte with 2% has 340 calories, 12 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 45 grams of sugar, 12 grams of protein, and 150 milligrams of caffeine. A tall Caramelized Honey Frappuccino with whole milk and whipped cream has 300 calories, 12 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 45 grams of sugar, 3 grams of protein, and 65 milligrams of caffeine.

If you’ve tried any of the caramelized honey beverages, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Pepsi Ginger Cola

When I first heard about these a few weeks ago, I was disappointed it was going to be available only in Canada. CANADA!!! **shakes fist** But a few days later I learned about Pepsi offering their 1893 Ginger Cola here in the States and I was no longer disappointed. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
