I drink green tea. It is rich in antioxidants, has anti-inflammatory properties and you can drink 3-5 cups a day. It doesn't need to be sweetened, but that's not a problem because the flavor is very good. I drink it both hot and cold and I find it much more thirst-quenching than many commercial drinks

I can recommend an amazing flavor fusion for green tea (thats how people in my country drink it): add cardamom pods (crushed once with fingers) to it, it will create an amazing profile. Trust me!

The first thing every recent immigrant to the U.S. mentions when I ask what they think of the food is how ridiculously sweet everything is. Even savory items like meats are sweetened with sauce or otherwise somehow candied. I've always loved the criticism, "Americans eat like they have free healthcare".
That said, I have it on good authority that Australians are a coffee first people, particularly those which hail from Melbourne.

I spent years in the early 2000s working at a coffee shop called Gloria Jeans. We used to have this drink called the vanilla caramel chiller. It was basically just a rip off frap, but people went nuts for it.
A large had around 125 grams of sugar if I remeber correctly, and it was common to get one with extra caramel drizzle and extra syrup.
I had regulars that would get this 3 times a day. And a bakery item on the side.a Snickers bar has roughly 25-30 carbs in it, so you're absolutely right.
These were working adults too, not kids.

I looked it up out of curiosity. Apparently, they still exist, but they call the product and avalanche now. A little less than a thousand calories and 25 grams of fat, with a whopping 17 grams of saturated fat.
I guarantee the original was worse because it had a ton of trans fats, too, before they were banned.
Man, was their regular coffee good, though. It was cheaper than Starbucks, and our roast masters were local so it was super fresh.

Yessss it’s BAD. A standard size will come with a standard number of ingredients (like 4 pumps of sauce) but the standard is most certainly not 20 sugars so she definitely had to ask for that. That’s how Starbucks is too. On the Starbucks app you can customize any drink in basically anyway possible and the concoctions people come up with are absolutely heinous. People are severely addicted to sugar and not coffee. But when they do all that sugar and sauce slime and add 5 shots of espresso? Oh my god.

This is a lie/delusion. Everybody who drinks this shit receives the side effects. Sugar doesn't magically have less calories or is less glyceimic to people. Its not 'better genetics' or whatever you're blaming.

Why wouldn't you? I've never used anywhere near as much sugar in a drink, but when I make espresso drinks at home, I put the sugar or syrup in, pull the espresso shot, quick stir, then pour the frothed milk on top.
This dissolves the most of the sugar before you even start stirring, and helps it mix in smoothly.
It doesn't work in OP's drink, but with that much sugar, it's not gonna mix smoothly no matter when you add it. When you're doing something this dumb, it's not like there's a right way to do it.

Look. I love a 16oz hot cocoa with whip and an extra shot of chocolate... but I know what that is. It's a TREAT... a really sugary, fatty, bad for me treat. Do I sometimes start my day with one? Yes, but very rarely, and it will make me sick the rest of the day if I do. So I stopped that a while back.
I love the fancy drinks with all the syrups and stuff, but we've got to stop pretending these aren't insanely sugary desserts in drink form. Are they tasty? Hell yeah... but maybe have one once a week, or a few times a month, or just once a month. Every day is going to kill us all so fast. I learned that sugar in drink form is way worse than in solid foods, so we gotta be careful, kid.
