Yes, but let's be honest, Starbucks isn't making their money off of black coffee, they are making it off of their latte's and mochachinos, and other things I don't really understand, and those things are most certainly not low calorie options. They can certainly be worse than a double double.
Just quick google shows me that an Extra Large Double Double has 320 calories, vs a Grande White Chocolate Mocha ringing in at 400.
There isn't a lot of differnece between the two chains.

So the consistency applies to Dunkin, but not to Tim's?
That's kind of a silly argument isn't it?
All chians are the same, people go because they know what they are getting. Americans would rather go to Dunkin because they are familliar with it, Canadians go to Tim's for the same reason. And they both don't go to the other because chances are, they would rather just go to the one they know down the street instead.
