iced caramel macchiato vs. the ice cream

my favorite drink from starbucks is the iced caramel macchiato.  i have tried a few others but i always go back to this one. so when i found the ice cream version at the commissary (and for $1.50 after the coupon!), i had to try it.

the verdict: it was too creamy and caramel-y.  but i shouldn't say i hated it.  after all, this blogspot of mine is about "a few of my favorite things."  so, i will say this: if i had the choice between the original drink or the ice cream, i think the real thing wins.
