Exposing the Starbucks Ice SCAM!

- Starbucks recently began using nugget ice in its drinks. It gives the appearance of more ice equaling less drink, but is that really the case. I decided to find out for myself.

Hope all is well with your wife. ❤❤❤❤❤
@@satanzmoma thank you! I will post a short update today ❤️
Ty I'll be waiting. 🍸
I'll just say this as an employee. Don't buy from us. Stop buying from us. It's overpriced, just go buy from a local Cafe. And for the love of God stop ordering tiktok drinks
People just want to feel "superior" to other by spending more on expensive brands.. which is just dumb fair and square..
I agree. Best coffee is found at shops where you don’t recognize the name. That’s what I always say. Also purely out of curiosity are you even allowed to say that as an employee?
So you're good with unemployment
@@tomganji9582 not at work but they can't c9ntrol what I say in my personal life
@@mikenenes you're usually expected to tip at Starbucks
The real crime is paying like 6 dollars for that shit
The only valid reason to get Starbucks drinks is by getting them for free by working there lmao.
@@lilylewis3100 which is exactly what I did for the past two years 😆
It wasn’t a charge for light ice for their refreshers drinks, it was a charge for no water for their refresher drinks. Thank you the update about the new ice. 💕
I mean, ANY place that sells iced coffee and doesn't use coffee cubed is charging you for half a cup of water...
That's kinda the whole point of an espresso drink, isn't it? Like, you can just buy the espresso from them and it's a little cup of strong coffee. Most of what Starbucks offers is water and other sides for that little cupful, the Americano is literally one espresso shot and the amount of water that you desire.
Thanks a lot for the video, really interesting!
I love your videos!
I discovered this years back and my go to if I go to a Starbucks now is to always order with “light ice”. You’ll get 2x the drink with 1/4 as much ice as normal for the same price. It’s so dumb.
Don’t they charge more though
If you are ordering a latte or some kind of drink with milk, then you are most likely just getting more milk added rather than more espresso. Which means it’s not really an upgrade.
No they dont. They just dont fill it to the top. Thats what happened to me
@@MayorMcheese12 not in my experience. And it always works when I do it with cold brews. Give it a shot
You just discovered light ice years back?
Love your vids
I'm very sorry for your difficult time, and I hope this helps. Cheers!
Hey vald can you make a drink for every state of the usa
I'd love this
i dont even drink starbucks
Nobody does, that's why this sht company expanded all over the globe.
Same still watched it all
I don't even drink
I buy Frappuccino mix from a local gas station. I fill the cup up and use my own ice in a separate cup. I get 3 drinks this way and pay 2$ for it
Starbucks : cuts ice into smaller pieces
People with no scientific background : wait, that's illegal
What?
Hey Vlad! Cool video! I recently learned you're from Ukraine, so I'm wondering which city?
Doing actual research here!🙌
So many people in my local starbucks drive through was wrapped around the strip mall, I am talking 20 cars deep at least. EVERY DAY.
Does someone know what bottles do vlad use?,The ones with 2 lids one on the bottom and another one on the top
What kind of camera do you use?
Maybe mocktails of the world now? 😊
Social media has created a culture of people looking for the next gotcha. 😅
If they make it with ice I ask them to remake it. I always specifically request with no ice but sometimes they still put ice in it. They even put ice in the nitro drinks which aren’t supposed to come with ice.
Went to a similar coffee shop and asked for no ice, and the barista said i will get less coffee if i want no ice.😆This is extortion.
This video is being suppressed in my subscriptions. It’s not even there. I have to click on the channel to see it.
Day 5 of asking Vlad making variations of Bloody Mary
I FRIGGING knew it!
can you do non alcoholic sumer drinks
please🙏🙏🙏
Woww, This is unless you get a drink without ice though, like I always get a frappe.
Frappes have ice blended in them.
Лёд и пена - хлеб бармена 😂
But do they have nugget kvass? 😄
I asked for no ice and they said they can't do that, only "light ice"
If your iced drink has no ice in it you're going to get a very different experience from the standard, the drinks aren't that cold before the ice gets added
Since i prefer to drink coffee and not sweet beverages that might not contain any caffeine.
I avoid Starbucks like a plague.
Agreed. It’s just sugar syrup on ice.
this was scientific, thank you
I think nugget ice is more dense and that’s why it doesn’t melt faster even though it’s smaller.
Hi I am first here🎉😂❤... Love vladslick
Can you try to make the beelzejuice from helluva boss
💡 :- Everclear with food grade menthol
Always order with easy ice!!
Interesting
Just ask for low ice or no ice
I have a doubt you are valdflix or Vlad slick?
It's getting very old of asking for non-alcoholic cosmopolitan
Hey Vlad! Can you try using hot coffee with the ice to simulate what is basically a standard starbucks iced coffee drink? And also maybe compare the melting rate by simply leaving them out for much longer than 30 mins in the water. Basically try to simulate people just chilling and leaving their drinks be as they go about their work.
If they left it, it's probably melted and the the water would just be added to the weight of the drink as well, water.
@@sasukeuchiha998 The weight would have stayed the same. What we’re looking at would be the increase in water volume present.
The drinks they pour are not hot though. Only the espresso they use is hot. The milks or water will be cold and the syrup will be room temp. The liquid will be about room temp without the ice.
@@lancelindlelee7256 The difference in temperature would still cause the ice to melt even when other ingredients are cold. Ice is colder than the added ingredients and it would still cause the overall drink to be colder at the expense of the ice. Hence why you could get colder drinks by adding ice to it instead of just putting it in the fridge.
@@sasukeuchiha998lets do the fuckin math allright. in a tall plastic cup, 100gram of ice cubes equal to 100ml of regular water when melted. then i would add 20ml of sweetener (sugar or flavored syrup like vanilla, hazelnut, caramel) more than that will ruin the taste. espresso shot should be 30ml. and the whole liquid should be 200ml in total so you add 150ml of fresh milk. total weight should be 300 gram. maybe few more for the plastic cup.
do you know what i hate the most? LITERAL IDIOTS SOLVING PROBLEM WITHOUT MATH.
Try limca from India 😝😝😝😝
I didn't even know this was a thing cuz I don't even go to Starbucks😮
Could make a drink for diebetic people?
I dont know dude, did starbucks manage to cheat thermodynamics? Because smaller pieces should melt faster as they have more surface to be in contact with liquid. That is some nobel prize level shit if they did
I imagine that once the surrounding liquid is brought up to a certain temp the surface area might as well not matter.
I prefer chilled beverages with NO ICE. Ice is just filler.
Speaking as someone who works there, kinda hard to have the drink be chilled when there's nothing inside of it to chill it.
The baristas usually have the milk sitting on the counter until it runs out because of how fast we need to use it, and things like the refresher bases aren't refrigerated. So if you're not getting ice it's really gonna be room temp, and get hot pretty quickly, especially if you get espresso shots in it.
I've always thought that you look like, scamers pay back, and now you're proving something
Not gonna lie, he kinda does look like Pierogi.

You Know What I Mean
Starbucks worker here, I ALWAYS make iced drinks with our light ice option unless requested otherwise. No one has ever complained
Wait why would you make a drink with light ice if they didn’t request it. Not everyone wants light ice, especially with iced lattes or americano. I don’t want to taste milky coffee.
@@pk7190 A lot of our customers are regulars that want it but don't always say it each time. With a ton of our sales being Refreshers this time of year, the drink won't be watered down by doing light ice. Some customers specifically ask for their drinks to have regular ice which are then made as requested. If the customer is in the cafe after ordering an iced americano or latte, I'll usually ask right there if they want light ice. With the ice changing soon to a form that will melt quicker, I'm sure light ice will be more popular than ever in iced lattes for customers that would rather a milky latte than a watered-down latte
I would be pissed if a batista did this to my drink! I already feel most Starbucks batistas don't put enough ice, so I order extra ice.
@@CoryA2503 if a customer has to specify something in a drink they know is a standard, that’s kind of a sign your store does not make drinks right.
I backed off mainly because their customer service was pure hogshit, but no denying some of their drinks are great, but I’m no coffee drinker and usually go for the mango dragonfruit lemonade, had to make a change pretty much and not regretting it
That's the same reason I stopped going. They kept getting my order wrong. I would get Starbucks before work and I almost always went with a black coffee. They would either forget my order and I'd be left waiting for it or they'd put cream in it.
so much for quality control if you ask me huh lol, all I need is a french press and I’m set
@@TheSlenderBassist french presses work great for loose leaf tea
@@sarahmellinger3335 hell yeah they do
i'll just say this as specialty coffee shop owner : brew your coffee at home. buy $30k triple grouphead espresso machine and few more dollars for manual tools. fly to guatemala, ethiopia, and indonesia to get raw coffee cherry straight from plantation. roast it at home to dark brown. also you will need big ass coffee roasting machine and coffee grinder. imagine spending $30k USD for a cup.
Why does Starbucks have such a rabid customer base again?
Because it tastes more like sugar than coffee and people are too lazy to make their own drinks
Hello
That title is genuinely misleading
you work for starbucks :P
Hii
noice
I'm first view!!!!
Viewer from odisha india
I just went to a boba place where they charge you an extra dollar for the milk teas if you request it with no ice. Worth it.
Uploaded same day as the accident ...I'd look into that evidence and sue Starbucks
Even just a tiny difference will make a huge impact in the economy. Its the insane amount of drinks they sell.
Pin me
There is no Starbucks scam. Just don’t go to Starbucks
If you don’t spend your money, was it a scam?
How lame and cheap do you have to be to worry about the volume of overpriced sugar water you're chugging. If you're that poor, just make your coffee-flavored milkshake at home
