Does a Starbuck's Frappuccino have any caffeine or coffee?

Excuse me for trying to raise my child right.

I would argue that falling trap to old wives tales and generally being clueless and helpless is the WRONG way to raise your kid. Just my 2 cents though. I'll be over here continuing to let my 8yo sip my coffee.

I read somewhere that coffee stunts child growth and development, and I asked our doctor too, she suggested we wait until shes atleast 16.

It doesn't. And even if it did, do you think one frappucino would do that? Omg.

Except some flavors do not have coffee, like the strawberry one.

The green tea one doesent have coffee either, it's made with matcha.

False. Has 70 mg.

People like you make me twitch.

YES!

You know, I thought posting here I would get more help, but instead all I see are house-moms sitting in front of their laptops getting ticked off for no reason..

Starbucks is filled with artificial flavors and colors and not much that is real good food.
I don't understand why people spend so much money there. It is not different than McDonald's - the ingredient lists are HUGE and unidentifiable.

No one's "ticked off." More like, highly amused. This must be your first child.

You don't know how to look something up yourself?!

Just wanted to chime in and say let your kid have one. It drives me nuts when people go on and on about how much sugar or blah blah these drinks have. Any sensible person would know you're not SUPPOSED to have them every day. How many adults do you see rolling up to work every day with a frappucinos vs the number you see with a normal Starbucks coffee or (more commonly) some coffee in a mug from home?

This. Is common sense so hard to come by these days? It drives me crazy when parents obsess over the silliest things.

There is a difference between an occasional frappachino for a teen (fine, it's like a cupcake in a blender) and the parents on here proud that their nine year old regularly drinks coffee. (And why would they want to do that? Coffee is not usually tasty to kids. Odd)
