I'm white and fit a lot of white-girl stereotypes but can't stand cold coffee or coffee with anything added to it. Plain black dark-roast drip or espresso/Americano every time. (My male colleagues are pretty into cold brew though lol)

It's easy to make hot tea and hot coffee at home.

Ultimately, every discussion comes down to race or Trump.

This. The standard hot coffees are way cheaper.

i only drink iced coffee. i make it at home.

I am typically the only white woman in my Starbucks, but I do love my iced cold brew up until about October.

American whites are really odd. Iced coffee iced tea iced everything!

LOL, I thought "American whites" was a new drink like the flat white recently became popular. haha.

Sucks because that is billions of plastic cups manufactured and trashed.

Yes, yes, you’re above it. Good for you.

i'm a black woman. WTF does race have to do with it?


I LOVE their iced berry hibiscus and mango dragonfruit refresher and so all of the black people i know.

Enough caffeine and refreshing for me.

Makes sense to me. Americans love big sugary drinks -- you know, Big Gulps and such. They convince themselves they are very thirsty. You can't really gulp down a giant hot coffee. It's hot. You can however, guzzle down a frappuccino or iced tea or whatever fruity juices they have there.

I didn't realize that it was WHITE AMERICANS drinking cold drinks. I guess people originating from the entire SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE drink warm beverages exclusively. Who knew!

That’s what I think most of the boba drinks are. Sugary carb loaded junk.

The cold drinks are more expensive so they should make up more of sales. Plus anyone can make hot coffee at home, I’m not making a damn Frappuccino or Pink Drink at my house.

A lot of people who don’t even drink coffee get dragged to Starbucks and they have to order something.

I’m sure Frappuccinos are exceptionally profitable for Starbucks. They are some of the most expensive items on the menu (with the cheapest ingredients) and most Americans are overweight and sugar-addicted.
