Does Starbucks still have those really stupid names for coffee?
I mean "venti grande chai latt??" and all that nonsense. All that fake-foreigner talk. I won't go inside to look around, I'm just curious.
There are some answers for your reference as below,you can choose your best answers
Here's an answer without any stupid comments, yes they do.
you sound cool.
Of course they do. If you don't like it then don't bother buying it.
Mocha -- a fancy term for hot chocolate with espresso.
Wow...another uncultured person.
Go to other coffee shops and you will find many of the same terms: espresso, mochas, lattes, macchatos...they are all there. starbucks didn't make up most of those terms as they are true coffee terms.
If you want to speak "american," how about you go grab a cup of nasty coffee at mcdonald's? you deserve a cup of coffee that is as uncultured as you.
Yes. Odd thing to be curious or upset about. I think it's a bit of an affectation myself, but apparently the owner of the company wanted to pay tribute to Italy by giving the drink sizes Italian-esque names. (venti, grande...) The other names are what the drinks are and are Italian - just as they have been for years around the world. Should they call a cappuccino something different? Why?
Starbucks isn't a bad company by the way. They have very ethical and green business practises, pay their people well and offer healthcare. Popular doesn't always equal bad or greedy. I wish other companies would follow their example.
It's just coffee, it doesn't require that you take a stand - go inside one.
"Venti" and "Grande" are sizes of drinks at Starbucks
Venti-the largest size drink
Grande-the middle size drink
Tall-the smallest size
&
Short-the kids size or smallest size in other countries than the US
Its not only Starbucks that uses the term "latte" its any coffee shop that sells espresso-unfortunately these terms might be alien talk to the lazy being that supports the dollar menu at Mcdonalds.
Give it a try when you want to splurge
Nothing in live is "stupid" have a positive attitude
If your willing to spend 3,4 bucks on a drink then start off with a green tea latte or a chai tea latte <these are hot drinks
If you want a cold drink get a "grande green tea frappuccino"
PRE: Is regular tea as good for you as green tea? NEXT: Would you call Hamburger Helper "dinner" or a "dinner substitute&
