Mankind has achieved a new record: A college student has ordered the most expensive Starbucks drink ever made, Yahoo! Shine reports. Logan Warren, 22, received a coupon for a free drink of any size with any add-ons he could dream up for his birthday -- and decided to milk it for all it was worth.
He chose the coffee chain's largest size, the 31-ounce Trenta, and asked the barristas to help him devise the most expensive drink possible. They chose to make him a Java Chip Frappucino ($4.75), plus 16 shots of espresso ($12), a shot of soy milk (.60), a drop of caramel flavoring (.50), a scoop of banana puree ($1), another scoop of strawberry puree (.60), a few vanilla beans (.50), a dash of Matcha powder (.75), some protein powder (.50) and a caramel and mocha drizzle (.60), according to
Yahoo! It all added up to a price tab of $23.60.
The big question ... how was the taste? "Tolerable," Warren told Yahoo!, "but not good. Imagine a coffee-based health food smoothie that will put you in the hospital if you drink it all." Would you spend $23.60 on a drink at Starbucks ... it it wasn't a freebie for your birthday?

caffine high have no concept of value.
"And I believe you come free with this iced-mocha... You delicious coffee serving temptress!!"
*waves coupon*...
*gets slapped*
Banana & Strawberry flavourings don't belong in a coffee drink.
they belong in a smoothie,same for protein powder & Soy powder
the Matrcha powder belonged in the smoothie with ice.
What belonged in the coffee drink was the JavaChip Frapacinno, the 18 shots of Espresso,the Vanilla bean,the mocha/carmel drizzle,the carmel flavoring,the soy milk,
& whipped cream.
