We got dental cavities just looking at this bizarre coffee order

Over on TikTok, Starbucks barista Kayli Cernan – @kayli-cernan or Kay – has shared how she prepares for one regular order – and it’s a dentist’s worst nightmare – or dream, if they’re in it for the money.

“Nothing could’ve prepared me for the first time I heard this order.”

No kidding – surely that’s just syrup.

A lot of people commented on the health concerns.

At this rate you won’t have to be doing this for long.

I had a customer like this…. she didn’t show up for a week and I got scared.

How are they still living?

Other thoughts came to people’s minds.

I feel like at a certain point you have to accept that you just don’t like a drink, If you need 18 sugars to enjoy it.

How do you even discover 18 is the perfect amount of sugar for you?

That’s what I’m saying. Like one random day the 17 just wasnt cutting it or sum???

Start giving them less and less each time until it’s down to a reasonable amount.

Pls just put classic pumps – who’s gonna know?

At that point just put sugar in water and drink it.

A few baristas had stories about similarly alarming orders.

We have a man who gets 26 Splendas and 13 Stevias in his tea.

A customer at my McDonald’s asks for a small coffee, 15 cream and 15 sugar. She complains it’s cold, but refuses to get a bigger size every single time.

I have someone who gets 25 sugar and 4 french vanilla at Dunkin and they literally notice if you do any less.

When I worked at Starbucks someone used to get 27 packets in theirs.
riley!

This one lady got a very berry refresher with 14 Splenda 10 Stevia & 1 pump sugar-free vanilla.

In case anyone is in the same boat as Kay and has been reading TikTok users’ suggestions, she had this warning.

Some of these comments are concerning …this is a reminder to my fellow baristas to not switch out sugar for syrup unprompted. This is dangerous.

Kay’s own drink of preference probably isn’t on any doctor’s recommended list, either.

gooood morning i hope everyone has a good day 🙂
