Their poor taste buds must have been beaten well into submission to want that much sugar.

I hate coffee because it's too bitter for me. That's why, instead of adding incomprehensible amounts of sugar to it, I DON'T FUCKING DRINK IT and drink tea instead.
Feel the same way about coffee, not a huge fan. I only drink it in the winter to warm myself up and I have to buy the expensive stuff, grind it myself, and then add a good bit of Splenda and almond milk to it before I can actually enjoy it. My husband introduced me to amino acid with caffeine in it because I need my caffeine and had resorted to getting it from diet soda. I am just not a morning person and with this stuff I seriously doubt I will touch coffee this winter (guess it depends on how cold it gets).
It's not a terrible thing to add a bit of cream or sugar to coffee or tea. Sometimes some additions (lemon, ginger, cream, cinnamon, sugar, etc.) will bring out a different flavor in the coffee or tea, so it's a new, different way to experience it. But the abominations at Starbucks are just out of control. It's not about experiencing the taste of the coffee, it's about covering it up COMPLETELY with sugar slop. They're drinks only fit for hummingbirds, really.

I generally don't add sugar or dairy to my tea because I think the flavors clash, and milk tends to curdle. I sometimes squeeze lemon juice into my tea though. It's pretty good.

Actually.. thats the only "tea" I keep stocked at home... it's delicious! Both at home and while hiking!

Maybe the caffeine counteracts the coma they'd ordinarily go into after dumping that much pure sugar into their blood.

Maybe the syrup is just blood harvested from super deathfats.

well just remember how fatties eat salads... they pour hundreds of calories of ranch/dressing on top of a single lettuce leave.
