Today I Learned…

…that mocha syrup is an exception to the free syrups list at Starbucks because it is actually considered a “sauce” and not a “syrup” since it’s made fresh at each store (my friend asked).

Which means when a barista once tried to charge me and I said “aren’t the syrups free [with a Gold Card]” and she said “oh yea, I forgot,” she made a mistake because she herself did not know.

Here’s another something I learned a while back and forgot to tell you all:

“Chuggers” are charity muggers (those people on the street that try to sell you into donating money to various causes).

FYI: Saffron is the world’s most expensive spice.
