What Is the 20-Pump Syrup Deluxe? 5 Worst Starbuck Drinks [PHOTOS]

Departing Starbucks employee Terence Wiggins witnessed his fair share of horrific and excessive drink orders during his time as a barista with the coffee company. We have all at one time or another stood in line behind someone as they held the whipped cream... but then added 10 pumps and 10 espresso shots. If you have never crossed paths with at least one of these inhuman coffee addicts, take a good look in the mirror - you are one.


On his way out the door, Wiggins shared some of the most extreme excuses for a drink customers asked him to make.

We've analyzed some of the worst offenders, looking at calorie, sugar, and caffeine amounts in each order. Now, we can never unsee the horrors some of us subject our bodies to.

20-Pump Syrup Deluxe

  • Starbucks Grande Coffee with Cream: 55 Calories, Zero grams of Sugar
  • 20 Pumps of Classic Syrup: 21 Calories, 5 grams of Sugar each

Total: 475 calories and 100 grams of sugar. That is three times for men, and four times for women, the maximum daily intake of sugar that the American Heart Association recommends. We are left asking: "Would you like some coffee with that?"

The Iced Splenda Special

  • Starbucks Grande Iced Coffee: 5 Calories, Zero grams of Sugar
  • 15 Splenda sweetener packets: 1 gram of Sugar each

Total: 5 calories and 15 grams of sugar. Okay, this one isn't so bad... And it turns out that Splenda is safe for consumption, despite the rumors saying otherwise.

The Halloween Candy-Crash Heart Attack

We can't see the whole order, but from what we can see this drink is one pumpkin-fueled adrenaline rush that will either cause your heart to explode, or raise you from the dead!

  • 14 Starbucks Espresso Shots: 5 Calories, 75 mg of Caffeine each
  • 20 Pumps of Pumpkin Sauce: 33 Calories, 5 grams of Sugar each
  • Starbucks Almond Milk: 60 Calories, 3 grams of Sugar
  • And if the drink itself is a Pumpkin Spice Latte, we are talking an extra 170 Calories and 35 grams of Sugar.

Total: 960 calories and 138 grams of sugar. That is more calories than almost 2 McDonald's Big Macs. On top of that you still have those 1200 mg of Caffeine pumping through your veins! Many experts recommend a safe limit of 400 mg of caffeine per day.

The Sweet Black Death

We finish with a coma-inducing doozy.

Total: 749 calories, 142 grams of sugar, and 740 mg of caffeine.

"Most people who order ridiculous drinks order by the mobile app and no one is ever embarrassed. Ever," Wiggins told Some News. "They just say something along the lines of, 'I like my drinks sweet.'"

"Sweet" doesn't begin to describe these drinks.

MAGA Fan Has Unhinged Meltdown After Starbucks Barista Doesn't Call Out 'Charlie Kirk' With Her Order

For anyone who isn't familiar with Starbucks ordering protocol, the cashier will ask for a name to put on the cup.

When the order is done, the barista will call out the name on the cup to let the customer know their order is ready. However, if there aren't many people in the store, it's not uncommon for a person to just have their drink handed to them or brought to their table if they're seated.

The video was first shared by the X account @MelaniaMeme. In it, the digital Mrs. Trump appears to teleport into a high-rise—likely Trump Tower—with a glittering cityscape in the background. She steps forward, looks directly into the camera, glances down, then back up again, without uttering a word.

Bad Bunny Hilariously Trolls Fox News Over Their Super Bowl Outrage In 'SNL' Season Opener

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny took aim at Fox News and the conservative outrage over his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show during the season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live over the weekend, joking that all of his critics have "four months to learn" Spanish if they're that bothered about him singing in his native tongue during football's biggest night.

Bad Bunny will be the first Latin male artist to headline the halftime show, but many of President Donald Trump's supporters have vowed to boycott the event. At least one far-right figure said Bad Bunny "will just further divide the American people" and suggested that either the right-wing performers Kid Rock or Jason Aldean should headline the show instead.
