I think I messed up, and I should've spoken up but I didn't cause I didn't want to be a pain in the rear end, but I had brunch today at I-hop with my new roommate and she really wanted flavored coffee. For those of you that don't know, Ihop serves two different single flavored coffee beverages in french vanilla and swiss mocha, in a decently sized mug with whipped cream on top. The french vanilla flavor comes in at 190 calories.
So to make a long story shortish, she asked the waitress if she could get the flavored coffee in the pot instead of her own personal cup. I don't know where the calories from or what the calories of the coffee are without whipped cream, but I do know the waitress ended up just bringing us a pot of coffee with the french vanilla flavor added to it. I'm kinda freaking out about this, and I really should have spoken up but I wasn't sure and she wanted the coffee and well, I hate being in situations like that. They're awkward for me, especially when I'm with someone who's not worried about calorie-content. I do know the waitress asked us if we could taste the vanilla, so I'm thinking she couldn't have added that much... but I have no idea how to calculate the calories for that since it wasn't just plain coffee. I didn't want to be a pain and ask for a whole separate pot of coffee for myself... but I don't know. I always feel like I'm being overly anal about that kinda stuff. But I'm freaking out because I don't think it was a whole 190 calories for my two cups of coffee (I shouldn't have even had the coffee, but I always have coffee and water when I go to restaurants like that -- it's my staple), but I don't know how much was actually in it either.
How would you go about that? And would you have ordered a separate pot of coffee for yourself? That just seems so silly.
