It's actually a lot less sugar than what they usually put in there, which is 6 pumps of their classic syrup (which is just liquid sugar). The iced tea with no water is sugarless, so the only sugar in the drink is from the two pumps of raspberry syrup.

Oh, and nice ride....too bad it ain't yours. :p

I thought you meant all of the syrup in the original drink plus the two shots of raspberry syrup. I also thought that by "no water" you implied that the standard drink is actually diluted. All that together and I began to fear for your glucose levels. :p I'll definitely have to try your combination! I don't drink Starbucks often (or coffee for that matter), so I've never been one to sample and customise my drinks perfectly.

And yes, it is too bad. But I normally live downtown; owning a car is the last thing on my mind. If I go to dental school this fall, however, I'll probably be purchasing one in the next couple of years.

The standard drink actually is diluted. The shaker they use is broken into three parts: the bottom third for the brewed cold tea, the next third is for water, then they pump the syrup in, and the rest of the shaker is for ice. I find that the water and the ice waters the drink down too much, so I ask for no water.

And yes, it is too bad. But I normally live downtown; owning a car is the last thing on my mind. If I go to dental school this fall, however, I'll probably be purchasing one in the next couple of years.

I lived downtown before I moved here (St. Lawrence Market 'hood), and unless I had to drive out to work or up to North York to visit family, the car stayed parked in our spot. Everything we needed was pretty much walking distance. I tried to find reasons to drive it though....I had a silver G35 sedan, with the aero/sports package and tinted windows. Loved it.:cool:

I guess it depends on which dental school you go to. If you end up in London (I think I remember that?), you don't really need a car while you're there, but it's nice to have one for traveling back and forth to Toronto.


And I just ordered more of these:

Diabetes much?! :eek:

Not my purchase, but rather my folks'. But I'm at their place for the summer and have to play chauffeur for the next 4 months because they're terrified of driving on the freeways here.

Looks sharp. German made is always a good purchase.

I bought a Nespresso Pixie, and like 50 coffee capsules. :)


I haven't actually tried it yet. I'm going to keep it at work, since my bosses are tight-asses and won't buy us a basic espresso machine. I work directly with 4 other people, and only 2 of them would ever ask to use it. They're nice, so I may let them occasionally, as long as they buy their own pods.

I like the french press ("plungers"), but on those days where I want to have a cappuccino, and I don't feel like going to the hospital's cafeteria to buy a sub-standard cappuccino, I can just make my own for like 5.5x cheaper. :)

Got it a few days ago but i couldn't be happier.

I really like the local dimming on this sucker, the TV is actually ON but I can't tell where the screen ends and the frame begins, makes most of my small MKV files look just about as good as the original bluray. Crazy good processor.

Well a friend invited me to The Horseshoe Casino/Hotel for A day while his grandparents gambled. I got a 10oz filet mignon from Joe Binions Steakhouse. And this morning we went to the Paula Deen breakfast buffet. pretty fun way to celebrate the end of the school year.

External HDD to put HD documentaries :D

Will you use the Firewire connector for that? I'm interested in the durability of that one compared to a case/HDD from OWC that I could actually daisychain for TM backups and cloning.

And a pair of these:

I burned through two pairs of red Chucks in college; I'm really thinking about getting another pair, but I'm not sure it's the best use of funds right now.

TP-Link WD8960. Got sick and tired of my ISP supplied Netcomm router falling over every 5 minutes. Very happy as my connection has been rock solid since I put this in over the weekend and was a doddle to setup!
