Think Before You Drink; Just Say No To Cappuccino!

I have a confession to make. I love those gas station cappuccino's. You know the one's...the warm, sweet, liquid cup of chemicals that flows so frothily (made that up) into your cup and overflows all down the side...burning your hand off as you try to contain it's deliciousness.

There is never a list of ingredients posted next to the machine, so the ease at which denial comes to this religious label reader is swift. To be fair to myself..I had three of them last week..considering I haven't had one in about 5 years..I still consider myself to be winning. 

It was my craving once again this morning that led me to realize I may be starting to build a deadly habit that prompted me to investigate . So in case you ever wondered...here you go. And no...I did not stop for one this morning. I'm thinking never again.
