[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1831842, member: 412001"] I did once, foolishly, ask a Costa staffer if they had cream. They grabbed the make-frothy-whipped-cream cannister and said "Like this?" "No," I patiently replied. "That has lots of sugar in it." "It doesn't... it's just cream." What followed was a 10 minute farce (with a growing queue behind me) as said staffer fumbled about looking for the box the liquid cream was supplied in and, boom, read that for every 100g of whipped final product, there was 23g of sugar. "It's to help it stay fluffy and to sweeten the taste." "What cream do you want, then?" "Just a little pouring cream." "But," she said, looking me straight in the eye and without a single hint of irony, "Isn't that, like, [i]really[/i] bad for you?" That was the moment I realised that Costa were no longer able to service my out-and-about beverage whims. [/QUOTE]
