Stereotypes Of Starbucks

Improved Essays
Quick, when you think of Starbucks what is the first thing that pops in your head? Is it coffee, pumpkin spice lattes, empty calories or even “basic white chicks?” all things considered, if any of these things mentioned above popped into your head you are not completely wrong. Needless to say, in today’s society when the word Starbucks is mentioned these are the stereotypes that run parallel to the company.

With that being said, other than serving coffee, pumpkin spice lattes and or being the center of arguably some pretty hilarious stereotypical jokes Starbucks also provides a plethora of beverage choices. For example, Teavana Shaken Iced Tea, Starbucks Refresher Beverages, Evolution Fresh, Iced Tea, Smoothies and Fizzio Handcrafted soda.

Below are a few Starbuck beverages that some popular celebrities enjoy according to Brit + Co website:

Katie Holmes- Half-Caf Soy Latte
Miley Cyrus- Nonfat White Mocha
Taylor Swift- Iced Caramel Latte With Two Sweet’N Lows
Kim Kardashian West- Soy Chai Latte
Rachel Ray- Nonfat Iced Coffee

Not only can you choose healthier substitutions, you are also able to see the caloric intake your beverages holds ever since Obama signed the health care legislation in 2010. I know it may be hard to believe that you can purchase a tasty drink from Starbucks under 150 calories, but you can, according to the Starbucks website. The site list all the drinks that can fit into your diet below are a few that are listed on the menu.

I find that if I tell someone that I cannot have coffee, I am often met with disbelief, arguments on why I should have coffee, laughter, or even as far as waving a perfectly scented cup of lovely coffee under my nose. However, after everything I have been through concerning my heart, I will not succumb that easily to temptation. I have been told, "try decaf," Yet, I find that unless my Son (The Barista) makes it for me, decaf tastes like it was rinsed through cardboard, with the adage that it never gives you that perky feeling coffeeholics look for in the morning.…

    According to Orman (2014), “instead of relying on its usual stable of flavor syrups, Starbucks has put the time and effort into creating traditional yet more complex flavors like spiced root beer and lemon ale especially for the Fizzio line. With soft drink sales in decline for major brands like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, this may seem like a counterintuitive move on the part of Starbucks.” Starbucks entered a partnership with Groupe Danone for adding more smoothie success (Orman, 2014).
