  • Nikhil: From calorie count to portion sizes,

  • we wanted to find out all the differences

  • between Starbucks in India and the US.

  • This is "Food Wars."

  • At a Starbucks in India,

  • we get our hot coffees in four sizes.

  • No. 1,

  • Nikhil: a short, Joe: Short,

  • Nikhil: a tall, Joe: tall,

  • Nikhil: a grande, Joe: grande,

  • and the big boy,

  • Nihil: a venti. Joe: venti.

  • I can't think of a single reason

  • you would order a coffee of this size.

  • Who is putting this much caffeine in their body?

  • Me, Nikhil. Me.

  • Let's measure this to see if it has as much as it should.

  • Joe: Whoa, wait a second.

  • Starbucks, I'm disappointed.

  • It's close. It's 18 ounces, ish.

  • All right, if I'm paying this kind of money,

  • I want a bang for my buck. 20 ounces to the T.

  • I think that's 20.

  • I was about to dunk on Starbucks,

  • but they actually gave us the 20 they promised.

  • Cheers.

  • Ah.

  • Look into the eyes

  • of an insane caffeine addict.

  • My vision has just gone blurry.

  • India's iced coffee comes in three sizes.

  • Both: Tall.

  • Grande.

  • Venti.

  • And an even bigger one, we got the trenta.

  • I want to mention now that our venti iced size

  • is bigger than our venti hot size.

  • The venti hot was 20 ounces.

  • This is 24 ounces.

  • And, of course, let's measure it.

  • Nikhil: Whoa, whoa, whoa!

  • Can't believe we have done this.

  • It's not even 16 ounces, Starbucks.

  • And this has ice in it,

  • which should melt and give you more liquid.

  • Is that how fluid dynamics works?

  • Maybe not.

  • But my disappointment is palpable.

  • Yeah, I'm gonna go 22 ounces.

  • I don't know. It's 2 ounces. That's fine.

  • [laughing]

  • It's totally not a big deal.

  • That's, like, two sips.

  • I can't speak for anyone else,

  • but already my bladder is about to burst.

  • So maybe I don't need 24 more ounces in my bloodstream.

  • If that wasn't exciting enough,

  • we of course have our biggest iced size,

  • which is the trenta. 30 fluid ounces.

  • The bladder buster.

  • This is for anyone who wants to spend

  • most of their day in the bathroom.

  • So you think, what, 28?

  • Again, 2 ounces off.

  • You know, Starbucks, 4 ounces more won't kill you.

  • Ah, this is actually pretty good.

  • Starbucks actually good? What the hell?

  • Anyone who watches "Food Wars" knows

  • we use this measuring cup for everything.

  • And I know I don't clean it,

  • and I don't think Joe's cleaning it,

  • and I don't think Yuelei's cleaning it.

  • So this thing, never been cleaned -- yeah, mm.

  • And of course, if you're in the mood

  • for 96 fluid ounces of Starbucks coffee,

  • ba-bam!

  • Get yourself the coffee traveler,

  • aka what Joe drinks in an afternoon.

  • Here in India, we don't have a huge coffee traveler.

  • We just have this little guy.

  • It's an India-edition tiny pet coffee traveler.

  • It's got a lot of cool India iconography on it.

  • There's a batsman, there is an elephant,

  • all sorts of cool Indian stuff.

  • And you can put in 355 ml of coffee in here,

  • which is around 11.83 ounces of coffee,

  • roughly a tall.

  • So, the perfect size.

  • We also have 1-liter bottles for iced latte and cold brew.

  • Word on the street is they contain 1 liter each,

  • or 33.8 fluid ounces.

  • It is so weird using the US system of measurement.

  • I'm so used to our normal, correct metric system.

  • But let's not start an actual war over here. Sorry, Joe.

  • Yeah, um, I don't care.

  • Let's take a look at calories.

  • A hot venti latte in India is 289 calories.

  • For comparison, a normal serving

  • of dal chawal is 200 calories.

  • [sighs]

  • In the US, the same venti café latte

  • is 250 calories.

  • So it looks like the US has 13.5% less calories.

  • It's at that temperature where it's, like, room temperature.

  • [Windows shutdown music]

  • My brain is Swiss cheese.

  • Everything I say is idiotic.

  • A hot venti mocha,

  • which is also what my friends call me,

  • is 473 calories.

  • And in the US, our venti mocha is 450 calories.

  • So, according to my math, once again,

  • that's a calorie decrease of 4.9%.

  • What do you think of that, hot venti boy?

  • OK, Joe, it's not a competition.

  • Let's just try something a little sweeter,

  • like this venti caramel Frappuccino,

  • which looks, uh, decadent, to say the least.

  • Oh, my God, that is so sweet.

  • 602 calories.

  • And I can feel every single one of them in each sip.

  • OK, genuinely, I have had spoonfuls of sugar

  • that are more savory than this drink.

  • How can you make something sweeter than sugar?

  • How?

  • That's a lot of calories, my man.

  • Ours is 470 calories, which is also 24 ounces.

  • Now, I should note, in the US,

  • the calories listed on Starbucks.com are, quote,

  • "based on standard recipes

  • and do not reflect customizations."

  • Get this out of my face. I hate this.

  • Why is this so -- and they put, like,

  • they load the syrup in here.

  • How can a human being drink one of these?

  • I don't understand.

  • And now, our most calorific overall drink

  • that we have here in India,

  • a venti strawberry and crème Frappuccino,

  • 963 calories.

  • Oh, my God.

  • I didn't even think it was possible

  • to experience a sugar rush

  • and a coffee caffeine high at the same time.

  • At 963 calories, this is nearly 50%

  • of your daily caloric intake.

  • So please drink this at your own risk.

  • And I am a risk-taker.

  • Whew.

  • I feel transported to another dimension

  • where everything is more colorful

  • and I can taste sound.

  • I don't know. I feel like

  • we should have an ambulance ready

  • if I'm going to finish this drink.

  • That's a lot of calories, I have to say.

  • I'm very impressed.

  • Our most highest calorific drink

  • is the mocha cookie crumble Frappuccino at the venti size,

  • and it's only 590 calories.

  • Oh, God.

  • This looks so bad.

  • Oh, man. It's so powerful.

  • Like, it's so sweet

  • that everything from here on for the rest of my life

  • is just going to taste like paper.

  • So, what about the cost?

  • This venti Frappuccino will cost you 390 rupees,

  • which at the time of filming this video is $5.14.

  • In the US, a venti caramel Frappuccino

  • is $5.45,

  • or about 413 Indian rupees.

  • Now, I want to point out that this is 24 ounces

  • and not the India 20-ounce venti.

  • So if we break it down per fluid ounce,

  • it's about 11.5% cost per fluid ounce decrease in the US.

  • Let me give you some context about Starbucks in India.

  • They are catering to the rich and the elite,

  • because it is very expensive over here.

  • In South India, where I'm from,

  • you can get a filter coffee for less than 40 rupees,

  • which is a fraction of a dollar, and it's delicious.

  • Starbucks would cost you upwards of $5,

  • and that's unaffordable for most of India.

  • Here is everything that you can find in a menu

  • at an Indian Starbucks that you won't get in the US.

  • Quick clarification.

  • Some of the items we have here are location-specific

  • and specific to the season that we're ordering them.

  • It's currently summer here in Mumbai,

  • and some of these items are store-specific.

  • So maybe you won't get them when you go order,

  • but let me know.

  • And here's everything you can only find on the menu

  • at a US Starbucks you can't get in India.

  • Now, a bit of clarification.

  • We know Starbucks will customize drink orders

  • and there are thousands of variations

  • and special secret menu items.

  • Thank you, Starbucks.

  • So just to make things not completely insane,

  • these are the official things on the Starbucks menu

  • at both India and the US.

  • Cool, and let's go.

  • All right, let's begin with all the hot exclusive drinks,

  • starting with salted caramel latte.

  • Not bad.

  • Stardust mocha.

  • Boom, we have clarified, no sparkles.

  • Nothing about this screams stardust.

  • I don't know what you're talking about, Starbucks,

  • but it tastes good.

  • Chai tea, or as we call it here in India, chai.

  • Can I just say, it's a bit of a pet peeve

  • when you guys call chai "chai tea."

  • It's like calling tea "tea tea."

  • Let me describe a good chai to you.

  • All right, it should be warm. It should be gingery.

  • It should feel like a hug from your mum in your childhood,

  • and it should perk your morning up.

  • And it should be under 10 rupees, but this is expensive.

  • Hello! It's Crystelle, and I'm here to talk about chai,

  • which is actually my favorite drink.

  • Every person has their own recipe for chai,

  • but it's a combination of spices and black tea

  • and some milk, and usually sweetened with a bit of sugar.

  • But for me at home, in my recipe,

  • cardamom is the most important spice,

  • cinnamon, ginger, a pinch of cloves,

  • and my secret spice is a bit of black pepper,

  • just to give that lovely, warming, spicy feeling,

  • but it's not savory.

  • It's just a lovely blend of spices.

  • The flavor is not bad, but I wouldn't call this,

  • I wouldn't call this a chai.

  • You know what? This is a chai tea!

  • Because it's not quite a chai,

  • it's not quite a tea.

  • Fair enough, Starbucks. It's a chai tea.

  • Next up, and the drink I'm most excited to have,

  • thandai spice.

  • Now, thandai is consumed primarily in North India

  • in the state of Uttar Pradesh,

  • where it's this drink that's sweet.

  • It contains spices, it contains rose petals, saffron,

  • and sometimes, optionally, you can add bhang,

  • which is marijuana, and it's completely free,

  • legal, and optional to add it.

  • And people enjoy it during the festivals

  • like Holi and Maha Shivratri.

  • What, I'm sorry, did he say that

  • that drink has marijuana in it?

  • Or you can put weed in it?

  • I mean, this is California.

  • So if there's a drink you can put weed in,

  • you'd think that we would have it, right?

  • Not bad!

  • It's got little pieces

  • of pista and badam and other nuts.

  • How did you get thandai right

  • and mess up something as simple as a chai?

  • USA, we got a lot of hot exclusives.

  • I'm going to start all the way down here,

  • with something called the caffè misto.

  • Bland.

  • Moving on.

  • Almond honey flat white.

  • This flat white I like

  • because it has a nice honey flavor to it,

  • but straight-up flat whites, I just, I don't get it.

  • Cinnamon dolce latte.

  • I like it. It's not too sweet.

  • A white hot chocolate.

  • Hot chocolate? Come on.

  • This is, like, really good,

  • but I don't know if I could drink a whole one of those.

  • This is the caramel apple spice.

  • No, thanks.

  • Steamed apple juice.

  • What? Apple juice?

  • Hot apple juice. When are you gonna,

  • "Ooh, I want some apple juice right about now"?

  • "I haven't seen you in forever!

  • Let's meet up for apple juice."

  • Cinnamon dolce crème.

  • Ugh!

  • Steamed milk.

  • Eh, barf!

  • Vanilla crème.

  • When you walk past that ice cream place in the mall,

  • it tastes the way it smells, like strong vanilla.

  • I couldn't imagine having more than two sips of that.

  • Already my stomach's starting to hurt.

  • I'm gonna be so sick.

  • And now it's time for the cold exclusives.

  • I'm not having a caffeine crash at all.

  • [error ding]

  • The citrus cold brew.

  • Citrusy.

  • Out of everything, this one has kind of a nice, mild flavor.

  • The cocoa chai almond.

  • Ooh, I just had such a mild one.

  • I took a big sip, and this one is sweet again.

  • Vietnamese caramel cold brew.

  • It should typically have condensed milk,

  • but this has normal milk, and it's quite good.

  • Nitro cold brew.

  • It's basically cold brew,

  • but if you press a button, you drink it faster.

  • [ba-dum tish]

  • Dumb joke.

  • It tastes like any other cold brew.

  • I'd be interested to know what the nitrogen process is.

  • What is nitro cold brew?

  • Well, they add nitrogen to it.

  • And you know what that does?

  • I have no idea.

  • Next up, chocolate truffle cold brew.

  • You know, that sounds like something your child self

  • and your adult self would want to combine

  • if they had to collaborate on a drink.

  • Let's see if it's actually good.

  • Absolutely not.

  • Oh, my God, stardust mocha again.

  • Mm.

  • I still don't know what the hell stardust is.

  • There are chunks of something.

  • Something otherworldly.

  • It's like cookies and cream. It's an Oreo.

  • It's an Oreo!

  • Thandai spice, same flavor, but now cold.

  • Mm,

  • hm!

  • Too much sugar for one young man to consume.

  • I'm losing it!

  • I'm seeing the light.

  • Oh, no, I'm literally seeing the light.

  • There's a light above me.

  • You know, the funny thing is

  • thandai is meant to be consumed cold,

  • so this is the appropriate temperature and way to drink it.

  • But it's layered with so much whipped cream,

  • and it's so sweet.

  • Thandai requires a balance of spices and sweetness,

  • and that's what this is lacking.

  • And the final two drinks are salted caramel

  • and strawberry with cream, but I already tasted those.

  • Maybe it got better with time, you never know.

  • You ought to give everything a chance.

  • I'm never giving anything a chance ever again.

  • And now for the pre-bottled drinks.

  • They've got three of them in 1-liter bottles.

  • This is the iced shaken hibiscus lemonade.

  • Looks quite refreshing.

  • Mm.

  • That is very nice.

  • It says it serves four to five cups,

  • which, if you're in an Indian family,

  • they're going to make this last for at least 20 people.

  • And it's very reminiscent of Rooh Afza,

  • which is a rose flavoring that we add to water,

  • and it's super delicious.

  • I think this is a good substitute.

  • White mocha caramel cold brew.

  • Oh, my God.

  • I've gotten to the stage where I can smell sugar.

  • I can see sugar.

  • I can hear sugar.

  • I think I am sugar at this point.

  • Starbucks signature chocolate.

  • Normally I would be very excited about this,

  • but I am so soaked to the brim with sweet stuff.

  • It's actually good.

  • It's, like, the amount of chocolate

  • you want to put in your cocoa,

  • but you know it's probably not good for you.

  • I'm losing my goddamn mind. [laughs]

  • All right, starting down here.

  • Something you can only get in the US

  • is the mocha cookie crumble Frappuccino.

  • It's looking a little sad.

  • So, "Food Wars" tip, bring your own whip.

  • That's another one of Joe's tips!

  • Mm, I'm not getting the cookie part of it.

  • It just tastes like a chocolate milkshake.

  • I don't know if that's really doing much for the flavor.

  • The caramel ribbon crunch Frappuccino.

  • I don't know how anyone could drink a whole one of these.

  • The recommended serving for this, Joe,

  • should be, like, two sips.

  • It's like, sip No. 2, and I'm good for a week.

  • Ugh.

  • The high-fructose corn syrup

  • is working overtime in that one.

  • The caffè vanilla Frappuccino.

  • You know I always keep this thang on me.

  • The least objectionable one, I guess.

  • Actually a little weak, to be honest.

  • Then again, after these two, maybe it's perfectly fine.

  • Nitro, the official cold brew

  • of the "Fast and Furious" franchise, Joseph.

  • Just pour this on your engine, and off you go,

  • off you and Vin Diesel go.

  • It doesn't require ice.

  • Has a smoother flavor, right?

  • Now, if you want something a little bit sweeter

  • in your cold brew,

  • you can get yourself a vanilla sweet cream nitro cold brew.

  • Joe fucks with it.

  • We got a vanilla oat milk,

  • we got a brown sugar oat milk,

  • and we got a chocolate almond milk.

  • Here they are.

  • Not as strong of a flavor as I thought it would be.

  • Brown sugar.

  • I'm definitely tasting it.

  • Yeah, not bad.

  • I have reason to believe this was unshooken.

  • Think I could shake it without?

  • I would recommend this one out of all three,

  • but insist they shake it in front of you.

  • You can get yourself an iced flat white

  • and an iced honey flat white.

  • Skip 'em.

  • Iced cinnamon dolce latte

  • and an iced Starbucks blond latte.

  • Not bad.

  • Can confirm a sip is good.

  • I don't know about a whole one of these.

  • Already I'm kind of like, eh.

  • Starbuck teas,

  • or, as my mum calls them,

  • "I can make this at home."

  • Starting off with Indian spice majestic.

  • Wow, OK.

  • Oh! Can I just say,

  • drinking this after everything else

  • is such a breath of fresh air.

  • You know, it's a simple tea,

  • but it's very flavorful, very spicy.

  • Would recommend.

  • Next up, matcha espresso fusion.

  • It's part of the trifecta of three ingredients

  • that have become very popular in India.

  • Matcha, peri-peri, and red velvet.

  • I feel like the espresso counters the sweetness that it has,

  • and the matcha flavor's there.

  • Again, just cut down on the sweetness,

  • and this would actually be good.

  • Now, the exclusive hot teas you get here in the US.

  • The royal English breakfast tea latte,

  • London fog tea latte,

  • honey citrus mint tea,

  • a jade citrus mint brewed tea,

  • the mint majesty.

  • Mint, matcha, green, all bad.

  • The trinity of gross. I don't want it.

  • The peach tranquility.

  • And they spell it "tranquility,"

  • but it should be tranquili-T-E-A.

  • I feel like they missed a trick there.

  • OK, so those are the two hot teas.

  • It's now time for the cold teas,

  • starting with an iced green tea.

  • I feel like when you start drinking green tea,

  • it's a sign of adulthood, and there's no going back.

  • That's actually pretty good.

  • And now I feel old.

  • Hibiscus passion lemonade.

  • So many ingredients,

  • but I know I'm going to taste only sugar.

  • Hey, that's pretty good.

  • It's kind of flowery, fruity.

  • I really like this.

  • A maveha espresso fusion.

  • Oh, this is an iced matcha?

  • Oh, OK, sorry.

  • My bad, my bad. It's,

  • guys, it's the Starbucks handwriting.

  • Honestly, sometimes I think it's just

  • doctors writing prescriptions on these coffee mugs.

  • By the way, let me know in the comments,

  • what's the weirdest way somebody has spelled your name

  • in Starbucks?

  • Mm. I prefer this to the weird hot sweet one.

  • Yeah, I like the teas way more than the coffees.

  • So, I don't know what that says about Starbucks,

  • but I'm a fan.

  • I feel the exact opposite.

  • I do not like tea at all.

  • And this is all the stuff on a Starbucks menu

  • I have never gotten and would like to never get.

  • But, gotta do it. It's the job.

  • So we will start down here.

  • At the Starbucks in the US, you can get yourself

  • iced black tea and an iced black tea lemonade.

  • Moving on, you can get peach teas.

  • We got an iced peach green tea

  • and an iced peach tea lemonade.

  • So, this tastes good because it's peach and lemonade.

  • I don't taste any tea.

  • Green iced green tea lemonade.

  • Oh, grande, not -- the first GR is grande.

  • Grande iced green tea latte.

  • "Latte." Lemonade.

  • Ugh, I'm losing it. See? I don't,

  • I stop drinking caffeine for a second, and I fall apart.

  • Oh, matcha? No!

  • No, not matcha!

  • Grande matcha lemonade. All right, lemonade.

  • Lemonade is doing all the heavy lifting on all of these.

  • I absolutely hate this.

  • Royal English breakfast.

  • Mm!

  • You know what'll help?

  • A little caffeine.

  • Mm!

  • Whoo! All right.

  • Also at Starbucks, you can get something called Refreshers.

  • From what I can tell, they are fruit juices

  • with fruit in it. Imagine that.

  • I would never normally get a Refresher,

  • I just wouldn't think to, but now I get to try all of them!

  • Pink drink!

  • Ooh, yeah. Fruity.

  • Moving on, we have the strawberry acai lemonade.

  • I like this.

  • Similar problem to a lot of the Frappuccinos.

  • One taste, and I'm like, I could get into it.

  • But a whole one of these,

  • I feel my gut kind of starting to, blech.

  • Just the mango dragon fruit, right?

  • Dragon drink.

  • Mango dragon fruit lemonade.

  • I think this is the best one so far.

  • [beep]

  • One second. All right. Don't put that in.

  • [beep]

  • Moving on, we have the green drink zone.

  • Star drink. Assuming star fruit.

  • Kiwi star fruit.

  • Does lemonade kick it up even another notch?

  • Hm, this one, I like the flavor the best,

  • but it's a little strong.

  • Yeah, all these are pretty good.

  • The last Refresher is the

  • strawberry acai.

  • They have a regular lemonade

  • and a blended strawberry lemonade.

  • I mean, come on. Lemonade?

  • Everything else that's had lemonade in it, I've enjoyed.

  • So let's just go straight to the source.

  • Whoa, dude.

  • Starbucks lemonade is, like, really good.

  • Is this even in the top 10 things you would get

  • at Starbucks, a lemonade? What?

  • Now, if you like your lemonade, a little bit of strawberry.

  • This is fantastic.

  • Wow.

  • Even after all these, this is a standout.

  • This is really good.

  • Why is this so good?

  • Fantastic.

  • Food!

  • We have a lot of Indian exclusives.

  • I'm going to start with the salads.

  • This is a vegetarian grain salad.

  • It's got quinoa, it's got some paneer in it,

  • it's got corn kernels that look unborn.

  • I'm sure this is super healthy, but it's also very dry.

  • Now the meat version of it. It's got chicken.

  • I'm not really a fan of cold salads.

  • If you are a health freak, you might enjoy this.

  • But if you're a fan of food, you probably won't.

  • OK, next up, I'm going to try all of their rolls.

  • Rolls are a huge staple here in India.

  • They're one of the most famous street foods,

  • and it's great for the working-class citizen.

  • This is the murgh kathi roll.

  • Murgh means chicken in Hindi.

  • Oh, that's pretty good.

  • Finally! Some spice!

  • Oh, my God. This is a life-saver.

  • I feel like I'm being brought back to life

  • after all those drinks. This is really good.

  • You'll find this only in India, but honestly, Starbucks,

  • you should consider selling this all over,

  • because it is tasty.

  • Next up is a kakori kebab roll.

  • Kakori kebab is basically minced meat, typically lamb,

  • and it's served with a paratha or a roti.

  • I've never seen it in a roll,

  • and I've never seen it in a pink roll.

  • Mm, you can see.

  • The main thing about a kakori kebab is

  • it should melt in your mouth.

  • This has too much of a bite to it.

  • Not a fan.

  • Next up, chatpata paneer roll.

  • Chatpata means full of masala and flavor, and it's zingy.

  • And paneer is cottage cheese.

  • We love our cottage cheese here in India,

  • and we call it paneer. And you should too.

  • Next up, cheese chili toast.

  • So, obviously, if you order this at Starbucks,

  • I assume they actually toast this and the cheese melts

  • and it's super delicious.

  • I can tell you right now,

  • this flavor profile will go really well with Indians.

  • We love our cheese chili toast.

  • Monsoon season, mum goes to the kitchen,

  • toasts the bread, lot of butter, some cheese, some chili.

  • Bite into it, your mouth's on fire,

  • but it's rainy and cold, so you're all OK.

  • This is not quite there, but I feel like it could be.

  • Next up, tandoori paneer sandwich.

  • I'm gonna have to say that this bread is a little hard,

  • to say the least.

  • Might be a bit of an old sandwich.

  • Flavor is good, though.

  • If I had any of this food fresh at a Starbucks,

  • I might have a very different opinion.

  • So far, the paneer items have been way better

  • than the meat items.

  • I'm starting to guess there's somebody

  • in the Starbucks R&D team who really likes paneer.

  • Sandwiches and protein boxes, here we go.

  • You can get a bunch of exclusive sandwiches,

  • US Starbucks, starting right here,

  • with the crispy grilled cheese on sourdough, again.

  • Ham and cheese on a baguette.

  • Then we get the turkey pesto with provolone on ciabatta.

  • Chicken and bacon on brioche.

  • Why is it -- could we get that chicken

  • on the whole thing here, guys?

  • A focaccia tomato mozzarella.

  • At a Starbucks, you can get

  • a chicken caprese on ciabatta sandwich.

  • On to the protein boxes.

  • The chickpea bites and avocado.

  • You can tell what's in there.

  • Obviously avocado, chickpea bites.

  • Egg and cheddar.

  • Cheese and fruit.

  • Peanut butter and jam.

  • Grilled chicken and hummus. There's your hummus,

  • there's your pita, there's your grilled chicken.

  • You can also get,

  • which was not available at the store today,

  • egg and Gouda protein box,

  • a cheese trio protein box,

  • and a cheddar and salami protein box.

  • Next up, egg white and chicken multigrain croissant.

  • Should I just call it a croy-sant to upset people,

  • the denizens of the internet?

  • If you are somebody trying to be protein-conscious,

  • put on the pounds, this might be good for you.

  • Next up, a masala chicken croissant.

  • I guess you can't go wrong with masala chicken.

  • You can go wrong with a croissant.

  • This tastes really good.

  • Next up, a basil, tomato, mozzarella sandwich.

  • I can imagine just eating this on a summer day.

  • Really yum.

  • Next up, creamy spinach and corn pocket.

  • Pocket! That's pretty cute.

  • As a kid, this was the only way I enjoyed eating spinach,

  • unless it was in palak paneer.

  • But right now, I appreciate,

  • and I really like it in this pocket.

  • Next up, chicken seekh pocket.

  • Seekh kebab is basically minced meat,

  • and it's sort of pressed onto a skewer and then grilled.

  • Over here, they've done that, and then they've

  • chopped them into little sausage pieces.

  • Mm. Minty, it has that pudina flavor,

  • a lot of onions that have just been caramelized,

  • so it's sweet but also spicy. I really like this.

  • Starting with the breakfast sandwiches and wraps,

  • the bacon, Gouda, egg. There's Gouda somewhere on here.

  • A sausage, egg, and cheddar.

  • The double-smoked bacon, cheddar, and egg. Dude.

  • It's good.

  • Ham and Swiss croissant.

  • A bacon, sausage, and egg wrap.

  • What's up?

  • I didn't ...

  • Other sandwiches you can get are

  • spinach, feta, egg wrap,

  • the roasted ham,

  • the turkey bacon, cheddar, and egg white sandwich,

  • and the Impossible breakfast sandwich.

  • But you know what they do have?

  • Bacon and Gruyère.

  • Egg white and roasted red pepper.

  • Kale and mushroom.

  • Get yourself an avocado spread. For dipping.

  • Bagels!

  • We got 'em.

  • Can I assume this is an everything?

  • 'Cause it's got everything.

  • Cinnamon raisin.

  • I can tell because of the raisins.

  • Hey, plain. For the New Yorker, right?

  • Oatmeal! Oatmeal.

  • We got regular, and they come with a nut medley,

  • brown sugar, dried fruit.

  • I bet it's like a puck now. It's been sitting for a while.

  • All right. [crew laughing]

  • You can also get a blueberry one.

  • It's obviously just same stuff with blueberries.

  • Strawberry and overnight grains.

  • Next up, a double chocolate chip cookie.

  • I think if I put this in a microwave for five seconds,

  • this is a banging, banging cookie.

  • A tea cake.

  • This is lemon-flavored.

  • And finally, they have a banana loaf cake,

  • but, guys, I am dangerously allergic to banana.

  • And so I wish this cake the best of luck.

  • Maybe you guys can try it and let me know in the comments

  • whether it's worth ordering.

  • On to the baked goods. In the US,

  • you can get an assortment of baked goods,

  • as you can see in front of me.

  • I'll just start down here. We got scones.

  • Oh, this is a blueberry scone.

  • Petite vanilla bean scone.

  • These can't be the same price.

  • Cake pops.

  • You got chocolate.

  • Which one do you think is Earth

  • and which one do you think is birthday?

  • I feel like this has got to be birthday.

  • Glazed doughnut, ay.

  • Red velvet cake.

  • Pumpkin loaf.

  • You can also get a cinnamon coffee cake.

  • Yeah, brownie.

  • Chocolate chip cookie.

  • Available, yet not today,

  • pumpkin cream cheese muffin.

  • It is now time for ice creams.

  • Did you know Starbucks makes ice creams?

  • I had no idea.

  • Java chip ice cream. This looks really good.

  • Check it out, son.

  • Yum!

  • Coffee, chocolate chips, and mocha.

  • That is something else. I really like this.

  • Next up, vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.

  • Now, everybody in India,

  • their childhood has involved Amul vanilla ice cream

  • and Hershey's chocolate syrup.

  • Let's see if this sort of evokes that nostalgia.

  • Ooh, the vanilla ice cream is so good.

  • Next up, vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce.

  • You either got the Hershey's chocolate sauce

  • or the Hershey's strawberry sauce.

  • Younger Kini would not have appreciated this,

  • but older Kini, really enjoying it.

  • It's fruity, tangy, sour, and it really complements

  • the yummy vanilla creamy ice cream.

  • Next up, we have the same java chip,

  • but now with more chocolate chips and chocolate sauce.

  • So, this is a bit of an overload.

  • Too much.

  • Are you, can you zoom in on my hand?

  • It's shaking right now.

  • Caramel macchiato.

  • Mm. It's really nice.

  • It's not too sweet. It's kind of salty.

  • Next, the affogato, which is ice cream in coffee.

  • I love how we're taking hot, bitter coffee,

  • and sweet, creamy ice cream, mixing them together,

  • and somehow they're not choosing violence.

  • They're choosing to be friends, harmonious in my mouth.

  • Affogato again, but this is house affogato.

  • So I'm going to assume, Starbucks,

  • that this should be better.

  • You're putting your name on it.

  • Tastes the same.

  • And, finally, we have the caramel macchiato ice cream.

  • It's similar to the small cup of caramel macchiato I had,

  • except this does not have a drizzle of caramel sauce.

  • If you were ordering ice cream from Starbucks,

  • I would recommend the simple java chip

  • and the simple caramel macchiato.

  • No drizzle of sauces.

  • It's not as sweet. It's kind of nice.

  • Ladies and gentlemen, we are finished with this video.

  • Thanks for watching.

  • Be sure to like and subscribe.

  • I'm gonna go throw up.
