Most Expensive Starbucks Drink of the Day: Logan A. Warren of Geek on Call has reportedly set a new world record for most expensive Starbucks drink. Congrats?
Logan says a “laughing barista” spent 30 minutes helping him concoct a Trenta monstrosity that set him back an eye-opening $23.60.
That’s nearly three bucks pricier than the previous most expensive Starbucks drink. Hooray?
So what was in Logan’s lavish libation?
16 shots of espresso, a shot of soy milk, caramel flavoring, banana puree, strawberry puree, vanilla beans, Matcha powder, protein powder, and a drizzle of caramel and mocha.
The so-called (by me) Hangover Marauder clocks in at a heart-stopping-and-restarting 1,400mg of caffeine — that’s as much as 14 regular cups of coffee!
And the taste? “Tolerable, but not good.”
The hell you say.

The first democratically elected government the CIA overthrew was actually Iran’s in 1953 through Operation Ajax. Democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadiq and his National Front Party planned on nationalizing the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now known as BP). To protect British interests, the CIA and MI6 overthrew Mossadiq, reinstalled the Shah, and set up a secret police known as SAVAK. Until the Iranian Revolution in 1979, the Shah and SAVAK killed over 20,000 Iranians.
True story.
