One Seattle-area woman just gave the phrase "Starbucks junkie" a whole new meaning.
For an entire year, Beautiful Existence (yes, that's her name) ate all of her meals exclusively at the company's brands and documented it.
"I started designing these yearlong challenges, and I knew I wanted to do an eating challenge because eating is a really large challenge that many people are interested in and want to take on," said Existence in a phone interview.

WOW a GREAT story from CNBC , LOL
Um... OK
She’s about a decade behind Morgan Spurlock.
Sounds more like she’s been eating at StupidBucks.
That would be EXPENSIVE!
She designed “challenges” related to consumption?! Really. I’d call loosing 30 pounds a challenge. But consuming a particular brand of product is a “challenge?”
What a useless ‘accomplishment.’ Even worse - the media thinking it is worth reporting on.
“WOW a GREAT story from CNBC , LOL”
She accomplished soooooo much just like Jared with Subway!
and
During 2013, Existence estimates she spent more than $7,000 on Starbucks items. To put this in perspective, the average female aged 19 to 50 years old spends about $252.50 a month on food eaten at home as part of a moderate-cost budget, or about $3,030 per year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
So, who paid for all that chow she downed? According to the article, she didn't receive a dime from Starbucks. I didn't realize part-time college student paid so well.
"We applaud her efforts and encouraged along the way, but no money was ever exchanged," Mills said. She added that Existence "often sets lofty and unattainable goals for herself, and she really meets them head on."
You can say that again.
Or StarSchmucks per Foamy The Squirrel!

(warning: bad language)
For a year she ate nothing but coffee and cake? That’s all you can get at Houston Starbucks.
She is looking for fame and hoping she will somehow make a fortune. She wants a company to pay her for eating/using their products.
What a weird idea.
i like these particular potato chips they sell, and their bag of pepper pop corn... and those evolution snacks... but i could not imagine making even one meal out of Starbucks food... let alone all my meals for the entire year...
She LOOKS like she ate at Starbucks for a year....she could use a few more veggies and protein...and less carbs
And after a year of eating at Starbucks, she’s now a brain-dead commie-lib environmentalist lesbian dupe? Or was she that to start with?
omg....she’s pajama girl...what a resemblance..
you know she had to gain weight on this ‘experiment’. if she would have lost weight that would certainly have been reported, and probably highlighted.
Unfortunately I was watching the Today Show and saw this story. I think she spent 500+ dollars a month.
Is her rear end shooting out unicorns and pixie dust now?
