It’s a quote from Jurassic park … I know it’s not on the same level as recreating a 65 million year old species.. but I thought it would be funny to use the same quote here
Ah capitalism. Thousands of brands and products to choose from, made by companies that are all owned by one big company and a visit to the doctor costs 3000 dollars.
I’ve gotten a couple of these. As others have said just a sugary drink. I ended up pouring mine into regular coffee later (a little, not the whole thing) for a sweetener.
I've tried the Twinkie one, it's mostly drinkable but I'd never have another one. It's what you imagine it tastes like, but way more artificial tasting than you're imagining.
Look, I love sweets. Like, too much. I have dessert after every meal, including French toast drowned in syrup. My go to drink is vanilla vodka and coke. There is such a thing as too sweet though. At some point it's less of a flavor and more of a sensory reaction.
For the novelty of it all Ive tried the Twinkie Latte. Its better than the name would have you imagine it to be, but its still undrinkable in the sense that I couldnt down half a can before pouring it out. Not that it disgusted me, but there wasnt enough going for it to compel me to keep drinking/finish the can. The best store bought latte drink Id recommend is Waiakea "Volcanic" Coffee. It actually taste like a coffee drink instead of the milk & sugar cacophony that is Starbucks Latte.
Kenco brand sachets of 'latte' mix are mild and a little sweet, but I add slims brand hazelnut syrup (sugar free) and lots of extra full fat milk. It may not be too everyone's taste, but if you're looking for that 'is this coffee or am I drinking Ferrero Rocher?' experience on the cheap, it's well worth seeking out this combo
Whoa, whoa whoa....is this a new thing? Am i missing something? I will literally try any new taco bell item...and that one sounds great in a degenerate sort of way.
For reference, that's 7.2g of sugars per 100ml which is indeed less than most soda and juices. I'd still prefer a fresh unfiltered fruit juice, the fibers help.
At home, those values are 100ml, so in a 500ml can, which is the can in the picture, so that 500ml can would have 47g of sugar. (A 250-300g candy bag has the same amount of sugar)
Palm oil and msg is in a surprisingly vast many products, which is pretty cool… oh and sugar is in literally everything, so I kinda think alien bug people are a real thing and they injected their food source into our supply.

Also available in flavored milk form- there's Frosted Flakes flavor, and Girl Scouts cookie Thin Mint and Caramel Delite flavors, too.

I want one pretty bad but if I am consuming that much sugar it better be a donut.

They put these flavors in breakfast cereal, as well. Revolting

More like the executives were so preoccupied with whether or not they could. The scientists had no say in the matter.

So the left it just cinnamon coffee and the right is just vanilla iced latte. what's the issue here?

Movie quote. And for some reason parts of Hollywood really seem to hate scientists.

I'd try the cinnamon toast crunch one. I think that would be good as coffee. The twinkie one is questionable tbh.

Probably Zero. I'm sure it's all corn syrup. USA!

Corn syrup IS sugar…

Big no for me. Canned coffee always reminds of Starbucks coffee. Sweet, watery and no actual coffee flavor.

Most pre-mixed coffee/latte drinks are almost undrinkable. So I really appreciate the low sugar ones because they actually taste like coffee

Taco bell has a fucking crunch wrap that they put cheez its in it, fucking hell this timeline is weird

I'll allow that one.. Doritos tacos worked out nicely

Less sugar than soda or juice, but still too sweet. I use it as coffee creamer. It was clearance at Sam's otherwise I never would have tried it.

There is only one correct way to drink coffee.. and that is however you like it best. Got you real riled up there, didn't I. :)

PurplePenguin87
That is the nutrition information for one serving, which it says up top is the entire can. So the entire can has 17 grams of sugar
cdlong
8 oz is 236 ml. And the serving size is the whole can so the numbers listed are the totals for the whole can.

What about the rest of the ingredients? Just curious on what kind of shenanigans are allowed in US.

Showing E numbers is not mandatory in US food products?
somnif
Nope, That's a Europe thing. We just list the ingredients themselves out here, sometimes obscured as "natural flavors"
cdlong
"E" numbers?
somnif
In Europe most food additives have a number assigned. Citric acid is E330, for example.
