Seriously, how can Caribou Coffee say their Lite White Berry beverage is light? (or “lite” as they like to spell it).

The medium size (382 grams which is a little over 13 ounces) contains 530 calories!

Yes, 530 calories or 11 Weight Watchers points by my calculations.

The description of the drink says “It’s indulgence without the guilt.”

WHAT?

Who considers a 13 ounce drink containing 530 calories light? The Jolly Green Giant? Michael Phelps when he’s in training?

It’s no wonder I’m fat. I buy into the “light” hype and consume without guilt.

Although to be fair to Caribou Coffee their lite white berry, which is made with skim milk, is a lighter option than the same drink made with 2 percent milk. No wonder it tastes so good.
