the secret menu?
[source]
Are you someone that orders from the secret menus that are available at different restaurants? I can proudly admit that I do it all the time… and only for the yummy result and definitely not the “cool factor.”
For example, my favorite Jamba Juice flavor: white gummi bear. It’s peachy/pineapple/raspberry/lime/mango goodness… and over the top sweet when you want more sugar than goodness in your smoothie.
And how do I order my fries at In N’ Out? Well done… thank you very much. I rarely get a neopolitan milkshake anymore… but it was a favorite of mine back in the college days.
As for “short” coffees at Starbucks… I haven’t really gone there yet, but it seems like the perfect answer for pregnant caffeine urges!
Here’s the most recent blog entry on the “secret menus” … just in case you’ve read through this and are thoroughly confused. :)

I love this! I had no idea (besides In N Out). The white gummy bear sounds so awesome right now. And the “short” is my favorite way to try the fun Starbucks holiday drinks without quite so many calories!

my fave at jamba is the pink starburst. so tart and tangy. mmm. but i didn’t know about fruity pebbles! i might have to try that out.
and i’ve done the shorts at starbucks. i get it when i just don’t want that much coffee and it’s perfect for those moods. plus, cheaper!

Speaking as a former Barista at Starbucks I might shy away from the Short if you’re pregnant…here’s why:
Assuming you’re talking about a Short Mocha or Latte (since those are the most common drinks) You’re getting the same amount of caffeine (one shot of espresso) as a Tall Mocha/Latte/whatever only with a few oz. less milk to dilute the caffeine.
If you’re talking about a short cup of drip coffee, that’s different, though. :)
Just a (hopefully) helpful tip. :)
