I was never a big coffee drinker, but when I did I'd drink a "foo-foo" coffee drink which was usually a turtle latte or something similar. I figured if it was only once in a while I was fine.

Then I read the nutritional information and nearly fainted: https://www.cariboucoffee.com/menu-nutrition/beverage-food-d...

630 calories, 65g of sugar, 21g of saturated fat, 195mg of caffeine.

If you do the conversion where 4g of sugar = 1 teaspoon, then this drink has 16.25 teaspoons of sugar which is pretty close to the figures in the article.

Needless to say once I read how much sugar was in these drinks, I promptly stopped drinking them altogether.
