Starbucks To Raise Prices On Select Drinks, And Lower On Simple Drinks

When you look at the Starbucks menu, you can see that they don’t say  ‘Chocolate Chip’ as  a description for their drinks.
Why is this? It’s because the FDA considers the Starbucks’ chocolate chips at the lowest grade of chocolate chips and do not “fit” what the FDA defines as American chocolate chips.

In fact, they say that the percentage of cocoa bean is too low to be qualified as “true chocolate chip.”
Don’t worry, Starbucks isn’t the only brandname “food” that is low quality and cannot use the word Chocolate chip…
It might be a little shocking to know that the Eggo Bites Chocolately Chips Pancakes and Oreos, cookies who are filled in Cookie Dough Chocolatey Chip have to also reframe from using CHOCOLATE CHIP as a description.
Who tried the Molten Chocolate specials that were for Valentine’s?
