I worked in 2 different coffee shops almost ten years ago (Not Starbucks), and that is what we called a nonfat latte. Pretty soon we'll have to change the name of the Big Mac or Whopper because it could offend someone

i agree with mixup....and since when do people refer to skinny people as "TOO thin or unhealthy looking"??? please......people need to think about what they say, and dont hate on skinny people :-D

Just so you know....you





Just to let you know you HAVE
been able to order Frapps for years without sugar...."coffe light" frappaccino is made with skim mlik and splenda, no sugar, no fat, half the calories of a regular frapp. I have been drinking these forever!!

please.....just order the item if you like..
save your criticisms for important issues...

Mixup - unfortunately you cannot order a pumpkin spice latte or frappuccino without sugar. For many years Starbucks has offered a select number of sugar free syrups. (vanilla has expanded to hazelnut, cinnamon dolce, mocha, gingerbread and caramel) Nonfat milk has also been available. the only thing to change with the introduction of "skinny" is the name. Not ALL drinks can be made with sugar free syrup so don't too excited before you get the "skinny" on the options.

and to coffeelover - LIGHT frappuccinos do include artificial sweeteners, but still have a significant amount of sugar, and are NOT fat free.

I used to be a barista, gosh about 8 or 9 years ago now and we used the term skinny all the time. BFD get over it.

I agree. Seriously, where do people find the time or energy to constantly be affended about every little thing. There are a few bigger things going on in the world to worry about than what you call your Starbucks! Wow.

I totaly agree with you. Gimme a break its just the name of a drink. There is no need to be offended by this.

I ssssooooooo agree with you. Sometimes my latte has way to much sugar. And don't they use the term "skinny" in old movies in regards to coffee? I know I heard that somewhere before.

WoW I think the "skinny" is great.. I am Diabetic and feel most comfortable knowing that I could order something that wouldn't totally harm me.. People who write some of these letters just need something to gripe about.. EVERYTHING now a days has a title.. who cares what the name is? people are not going to drink something if they don't like the ingrediants, right? so in saying this someone needs to "GET A REAL LIFE".

I wish that people would stop over reactiong about every litlt thing. I am glad that starbucks has simplified the request for a lowfat/sugerfree version of a high calorie coffee drink. Know all I have to say now is that I want a skinny caramel macchiato......

seriously LOL who cares it makes it so much easier to say "Skinny" than sugar free this and fat free that. This person, sorry who ever you are, and sorry it offends, but sooo much easier and I love the idea and name.

I'm with you. People Soooo need to get over themselves.
Glad starbucks is on board with the skinny!

GO Skinny!!!!!

I love that I can have a friend get me a "skinny mocha latte" intead of writting a page long version of the same order,

I definitiely agree with you! People are way too easily offended. Because it's called skinny should motivate people to drink it if thay want to become skinny, if you even pay attention to what the drinks are called. It really doesn't matter to me.

You have been able to order your drink at starbucks sugar free for years. this platform does not change what is offered at sbux. there is still no sugar free pumpkin spice, or for that matter a frapp. its just a marketing ploy. the only SF syrups are vanilla, hazelnut, cinnamon dolce, caramel, gingerbread, and now mocha, but that one is really gross. i think the problem here is that sbux is marketing this like it is a new idea, even though it has been a customer option all along. I would say 50% of my customers already ask for sugar free.

I agree with Mix up! I'm so tired of all these "Politically incorrect" Or "correct" crap people! Waitresses for years have had cute "names" for things, I'm not skinny, I'm frumpy and I'll order a Skinny Pumkin spice too!!

Dear Starbucks: Thank you, thank you, thank you for adding a drink I can order without going through the sugar free, fat free hassle of asking for it. All I have to do is ask for "skinny." I love Starbucks' coffees and frapps but haven't had one in 8 months, since I have been on Weight Watchers, which I also love (down 30 pounds and about to hit goal weight). I'll be having my first Starbucks in months next week (we don't have one in our town - it's WAAAAY small) Thank you again. As for the barista witht he attitude - GET REAL.
