I have never heard of "CosMc's." That's interesting. Personally, I have never liked sweet drinks. I'll get an unsweet iced tea at a restaurant and put maybe 1/4th of a packet of sugar in it just to take the edge off. Even as a kid, my preferred drink was always water. That being said, I do like sweets in a solid form (candy, cookies, pie, etc.)
I was shocked to read the USELESS calories in purchased hot drinks @Tony Nathanson We travel a reasonable amount sometimes it’s just a simple trip to the city / return… for maybe doctors appointments. if and when we have a dr ap we try to combine it with our hobby of dancing or fresh food shopping (350 km return trip ) Anyway we have a fairly good thermos brand travel mug so we make a coffee before leaving home which is enough for the day for me after my morning cuppa ( tea) , we use these scachets from Aldi Hubby will take a thermos of hat water for an extra coffee after the afternoon dance to drink on the drive home I can drink super sweet hot drinks they make me feel sick
That's a good deal. For the Yanks, that's $2.17 USD, or just under 22¢ each. I might see if they have those in my ALDI.
When Aldi fist opened in our area about 4 years ago ..they were only $2.70 a pack of 10 ..the skinny cappuccino I like is nice Hubs has the strong cappuccino. @John Brunner They are easy to carry when traveling as well
