Lebim 381 Posted September 8, 2012 Skinny only refers to the fat. You have to ask for sugar free. It absolutely does not. Skinny means sugar free and fat free milk without whip. - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Winter84 35 Posted September 8, 2012 It was my understanding that ordering a "skinny" means nonfat and sugar free. Otherwise it would be a nonfat latte or sugar free latte. Combine the two and you have a skinny. The best way to know is to download the starbucks app, skinny does not mean sugar free you do have to tell them sugar free 7*10*12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jen in SoCal 189 Posted September 8, 2012 It absolutely does not. Skinny means sugar free and fat free milk without whip. - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12 I'd like to thank our resident barista for clarifying. 1 berniec reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it just meant nonfat then it would be "nonfat" not skinny. Just because some barista's are dumb and forget doesn't mean that Starbucks standard isn't skinny=sf&nf. Maybe the confusion is "light"? If you ask for a light frappacino it does NOT cover sugar free, just nf milk and light base and no whip, so you do.have to specify sf for that. Really, I promise, skinny DOES mean sugar free and non fat. - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12 1 berniec reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No where on there does it explain what the drinks are. - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12 1 berniec reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will never get a sugar free drink if it has milk- physically impossible. - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
