Pumpkin spiced lattes can take a long walk off a short pier.

00:00 Good morning, it's David from nationalworld.com.
00:02 Hope everyone's having a fantastic Thursday today.
00:05 Today, you and I are gonna go on a little road trip.
00:08 We're gonna perform a little science experiment
00:11 and it's got something to do with food.
00:13 So let's jump in, let's get the ignition on
00:15 and let's head to Starbucks.
00:17 Right, we're here.
00:18 Science experiment is a go.
00:21 Just gotta put it into the drive-thru and make our order.
00:24 Can I get a pumpkin spice latte as well, please?
00:27 Grande.
00:28 - Yes, okay, why not one?
00:31 - Yes, please, why not?
00:32 - Anything else for you today?
00:33 - No, that's all, thank you.
00:35 - Here's your pumpkin spice latte.
00:36 - Lovely, thank you.
00:37 All right, we've got it.
00:41 We've got to wait one more stop
00:42 and then this science experiment is a go.
00:46 Right, so we've got the last part
00:48 of today's scientific experiment.
00:50 I'm gonna put those safe on the passenger seat.
00:52 It's now time to head home
00:53 and I shall explain what the hell is going on.
00:57 So, two very important questions.
01:00 Why have I gone out shopping
01:01 and why have I filmed it today?
01:03 Well, the answer has to do with a secret white powder.
01:07 A white powder that makes everyone happy
01:09 and makes the world a better place.
01:12 Of course, I'm not talking about Colombian snow.
01:14 I am talking about sugar.
01:17 Now, here's the fun fact.
01:17 Did you know that this pumpkin spice latte
01:21 or whatever it is I've bought from Starbucks,
01:23 I think that's what it is, that's what I asked for,
01:26 actually has more sugar than the three Greggs donuts
01:29 that I have bought as well.
01:31 It's fascinating.
01:32 So, we're gonna compare the two.
01:34 This is my breakfast.
01:35 I mean, making a health reporter eat this for breakfast,
01:38 I'm very grateful,
01:41 but it is like making Therese Coffey, the health secretary.
01:43 So, we'll try the coffee first and see how it tastes.
01:46 I've never had one of these before.
01:48 White girl Twitter is now gonna come for me
01:50 because I've said that, but we'll give it a whirl.
01:52 (sips coffee)
01:55 That's very sweet.
02:00 That's too sweet.
02:04 What the hell is in that?
02:05 'Cause pumpkin is not that sweet.
02:10 So, there's a bunch of added sugar
02:11 and you can taste the fact that that is way too sweet.
02:14 There is so much sugar in there.
02:16 Oh my days.
02:17 People rave about these.
02:21 People genuinely get excited when autumn comes,
02:24 not because of Halloween,
02:25 not because it gets a little bit colder
02:27 and we're no longer stuck in a heatwave,
02:28 but because they get to drink this (beep)
02:31 I'm sorry, but it's horrible.
02:33 It really is.
02:34 That is, oh.
02:36 Oh, I'm sorry.
02:39 I'm gonna have another sip just to make sure,
02:40 but I'm not convinced by this.
02:43 No.
02:49 I'm sorry, but coffee shouldn't taste like that.
02:53 (beep)
02:54 It's awful.
02:54 You can taste the pumpkin just about,
02:57 but all I, the rest is just sugar.
03:00 I'm sorry, that's all I can taste is sugar.
03:04 And it's overwhelming.
03:05 That, we're gonna just get rid of.
03:09 And now to the part of my breakfast
03:11 that I'm actually looking forward to,
03:14 is the three donuts.
03:15 It's just the standard glazed ring donuts,
03:18 25p from Gregg's each.
03:21 And this is just gonna be so much better.
03:23 So here's the thing.
03:27 Sweet things should taste sweet, right?
03:32 I'm sure you can all agree on that.
03:35 Things that shouldn't be sweet
03:37 or aren't sweet by their design,
03:39 in my opinion, personally, should not be sweet.
03:41 Sweet potato fries come under this category.
03:43 I'm not a fan of sweet potato fries
03:44 because it just tastes like dessert.
03:47 I don't want a dessert with like a steak.
03:49 It's just wrong.
03:50 I wish I'd ordered a double espresso, frankly.
03:52 That's what I normally order.
03:54 If I go to like a coffee shop with a double espresso,
03:56 or if I want something sweet,
03:58 I'll have like a hot chocolate.
04:00 Whatever the hell that was, was an abomination.
04:03 But this, this is good (beep)
04:08 I'm sorry.
04:09 You guys gotta go now.
04:11 You guys gotta go.
04:13 'Cause I'm gonna eat all three of these, didn't I?
04:15 Probably about a minute flat.
04:17 You don't deserve to see that.
