It seems most Americans hate coffee (that you can easily brew yourself for pennies) so Starbucks has discovered a way to make coffee palatable with a ton of additional sugar and fat (cream).

I love black coffee, it's practically free, both calories and cost. Starbucks turns that into a $7 sugar and fat bomb, bad for your health and wallet. Good old American ingenuity.

Ever try Starbucks black coffee--nasty!
