Geekologie I Watch Stuff The Superficial

$47.30: The World's Most Expensive Starbucks Drink

February 13, 2013 in but why?, caffeine, coffee, congratulations?, drink, expensive, good lord, i could drink two of those before noon i guarantee it, i'm not sure how i feel about this, needle to the vein, now chug the whole thing and see if your heart explodes, record, starbucks, world, wtf did i just watch?

This is a video from reader Beau in his record-breaking attempt to customize the most expensive Starbucks coffee drink (previously it was this $26.30 one set by another reader. Also, why is this a Geekologie trend? I didn't sign up for this) . The 52-ounce (which, for the record, is not an official Starbucks sanctioned size) Quadriginoctuple Frap contains 48 shots and a bunch of other crap and probably tastes like ass. Always wanted to experience a coffee enema but are too squeamish to jam a hose up your keister? This is as close as it gets.

Hit the jump for a video of record-breaking in action.

Thanks Beau, but I'm already on the way to Starbucks with a 128-oz mug and my roommate's credit card.

    I think the main mistake here is they went to Starbucks.

  • Did the pee you took afterwards feel like it was worth 50 bones?

  • Adrastae

    JFC it was bought in ENUMCLAW. They don't deserve to live there, let alone have coffee.

  • AmstraD

    What the hell ??? never been in a starfucks but what's with all these ingredients ? salt topping ? protein powder ? Where's the coffee ?

  • Last year the most expensive drink was $23.60 and now it is $47.30. That is inflation.

  • Julie Waters

    It's not inflation. The price is due to what was put into the drinks. The same syrups/toppings/# of added shots isn't the same between the 2.

  • GW! You featured ma video!

    Love.

    P.s. Being a former barista, I told the manager it wasn't my goal for them to lose money (since it was my birthday drink) or deplete their inventory, but she ended up being more excited than I was about trying for the most expensively-priced Starbucks drink (and that was before I gave them a dozen fresh doughnuts).

    They were all pretty neat people. Had a ton of fun.

  • porkleaker

    Doughnuts make everything worth while.

  • Bling Nye

    ...Anyone else wonder why they didn't just go for 52 shots instead of 48? It would've added another $3 to the cost if the aim is 'most expensive drink'... it's not like 4 more shots is going to make it taste any more or less like ass, and I doubt the 4 shots would be what stops your heart if you're already doing 48...

    This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen.

  • NoveltyFishHead

    This drink deserves another title of being the "World's Deadliest Starbucks Drink".

  • But why?

  • For the very same reason why we climb mountains.

  • To get to the moon?

  • GrueHunter

    No, silly. You sacrifice virgins to the moon, not visit it.

  • it has almost been exactly 1 year since the last record

  • white people problems

  • Kevin

    Yup, if you're a gold card member, you get a coupon in the mail for "any free drink" for your birthday.

  • Hold the fuck up... Did he get that free because it was his birthday?

  • Free birthday drink. Actual cost: $0. Doesn't win.
