Starbucks Quadriginoctuple Frap

February 20, 2013 – How does 48 shots of espresso sound to get your day cranking?

Customer Beau Chevassus gave his order for “Quadriginoctuple Frapa” which amounts to a mocha frappuccino soy mocha drizzle matcha powder protein powder caramel brulee topping with strawberry, two bananas, caramel drizzle frappuccino chips, vanilla bean and 48 shots. It costs $47.30.

And that my friends is what Starbucks calls their most expensive cup of coffee. I’m not a coffee drinker so I really don’t care how much espresso they add, but I would be concerned about the mental state of the person who is sitting in traffic sipping on that one.

I know how edgy I get when my caffeine level rises to the top after a diet Mt Dew, but 48 shots of espresso and rush hour? That can’t be a good combination.

Right now I have this vision of Starbucks patrons squirming in their chairs, tapping their feet, teeth rattling while speed texting.
