Coffee costs a content creator more than $340: 'Got goosebumps'
A content creator in England forked out £265 – which equates to about $340 in U.S. dollars – on a single cup of coffee, then shared his true feelings about it on social media.
Carmie Sellitto, 26, was in London when he stumbled upon a luxury coffee shop, as news agency SWNS reported.
Sellitto expected an expensive cup but was stunned when he spotted Japan Typica Natural coffee on the menu for a staggering £265, which came out to about $343 and change. (See the video at the top of this article.)
Made from Typica beans, a Japanese variety of Arabica beans, the drink is thought to be one of Britain's most expensive coffee drinks, SWNS reported.
Sellitto ordered the drink despite its hefty price.
He said that in the end, he couldn't tell the difference between his expensive brew and his friend's £4 ($5.18) iced latte.
"The waiter even made a joke, saying, 'Make sure you don't mix them up' and started laughing," Sellitto told Fox News Digital.
"That really made me feel overwhelmed because I thought, 'Imagine if I accidentally drank the wrong one.'"
Sellitto said he "got goosebumps" once he started drinking it.
"I couldn't tell if it was because it was really that good or just the fact that I had just spent £265 on it," he told Fox News Digital.
In his video review, Sellitto was critical of the coffee.
"It didn't even taste like coffee," he said.
"It tasted like some sort of fruit."
By the time he had finished it, Sellitto said he was "really disappointed" in the whole experience.
"As the ice started to melt, the drink got weaker and weaker, and by the end, it just didn't taste as rich as when I first started drinking it," Sellitto told Fox News Digital.
"That kind of took away from the experience a bit."
In the end, he rated it five out of 10.
He told SWNS that he "wouldn't buy it again."
"I honestly think I can make better coffee than that," he said.

Switch 2 marks the end of an era as Mario Kart World is the first time in 20 years Donkey Kong's voice actor has changed, and the replacement seemingly comes straight from the Mario movie
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. In case the redesign wasn't enough, fans have noticed that Donkey Kong may have also nabbed a new voice actor alongside the release of Mario Kart World on Nintendo Switch 2. Fans on the Donkey Kong subreddit have got their hands on Mario Kart World, and despite the fact you need to unlock the big ape, they have noticed that the in-game credits are missing any mention of Takashi Nagasako, who has voiced Donkey Kong since 2004's Mario Power Tennis all the way through to 2024's Super Mario Party Jamboree, as well as his dad / grandad (it's unclear) Cranky Kong. One thing Nintendo does in its games is only list the voice actors, as opposed to listing who they play, which is how Mick Wingert was mistakenly identified as Mario's new voice actor before Kevin Afghani confirmed it was him. So no one is listed with Donkey Kong next to their name, however, one name that is in the credits is Koji Takeda, who just so happened to be the voice actor for Donkey Kong in the Japanese dub of The Super Mario Bros. Movie (also Daruk in The Legend of Zelda series). The other big deal to come out of this is that Samantha Kelly – who has voiced Princess Peach, Toad and Toadette since 2007 – is also absent from the credits of the game. However, once again since there are no character names listed, we don't actually have a great idea of who could take over, since Anya Taylor-Joy is unsurprisingly not listed in there. One user points out that Princess Peach Showtime would have been her last time as Peach, which is ironic as the last Peach game – Super Princess Peach – marked Jen Taylor's final time in the role. Presumably Donkey Kong will keep this new voice going into Donkey Kong Bananza. However, there is always a chance that Nagasako will reprise his role as Cranky Kong in the upcoming game, especially since he just did voice work for the Donkey Kong Country expansion at Universal Japan. Regardless, the last few years have been an end of an era for a ton of Mario voice actors. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Nintendo Switch 2 journey isn't going too smoothly as Nintendo asks "please avoid using Mii Fighter in online play as much as possible."

Former Princess Who Left the Royal Family Welcomes First Child
There's a new royal baby to get excited about: Japan's former Princess Mako recently gave birth to her first child on Friday, May 30, according to Japan's Imperial Household Agency. Anadolu/Getty Images According to the Japan Times, few details about the baby were given at a press conference this week (which was already on the royal schedule and unrelated to Princess Mako's newborn baby) other than revealing that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are 'delighted about the birth and are wishing for the happiness of the Komuro family.' (The arrival of Princess Mako's baby is the first grandchild for the Crown Prince and Princess, who share two other children.)During the press conference, Naomasa Yoshida, grand master of the Crown Prince's Household, did nod to Princess Mako's exit at the same time that they spread the official word about her birth, per the Japan Times: 'This is a matter for a person who has left the Imperial Family and we had hoped that she would spend her time in a quiet environment. We decided to make the announcement, however, in light of some media reports [about the birth].' TORU YAMANAKA/GETTY IMAGES For reference, Princess Mako left the Imperial Family—relinquishing her royal title in the process—after marrying Kei Komuro, a former classmate, but also a commoner. The pair moved to New York City to start a new life together in 2021, with Komuro turning down a $1.3 million royal payout she was entitled to after losing her status due to her marriage. (Komuro works in the city as a lawyer while Princess Mako recently secured a job at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.) At the time of her marriage, Princess Mako gave a statement about her choice with her new husband, Komuro, explaining their decision: 'I love Mako. We only get one life, and I want us to spend it with the one we love.' Four years later—and with their family expanding, plus baby—their love story continues.

Dean Cain says men shouldn't compete in women's sports; releases heartwarming film on girls' soccer team
Friday marks the nationwide release of family-friendly sports film "Little Angels", a triumphant story of a team of athletes and an unyielding coach, written, directed and produced by actor Dean Cain. "Little Angels" unfolds the story of Jake Rogers, a Division I college football coach, played by Cain, with $5 million and a take-it-or-leave-it chance for redemption on the line. A male-centric statement hurdles the lead into a reflective arc and, when writing the script, the red-card comment "soccer is for girls," was definitive, according to Cain. "It's always a joke I make," Cain told Fox News Digital. Dean Cain Says He Turned Down Being One Of The Highest-paid Actors On Tv To Raise His Son Alone "Soccer is the world's game and I make fun of soccer because I played as an American football player and that's just what we do. We make fun of soccer. We make fun of rugby." In 1988, after his collegiate football career at Princeton, Cain was signed to the Buffalo Bills as a rookie. His professional NFL career came to a halt when he injured his knee. Read On The Fox News App While the on-air declaration that soccer is for girls kicks off Rogers' journey to softening in "Little Angels", the topic of men in women's sports is not a cornerstone of the film. However, Cain is firm in his position that, after a certain age, boys and girls should not compete together. "I'm a huge, huge supporter of women's athletics," Cain told Fox News Digital. "I don't think men or boys have any business once they're past the age of 7 or 10 competing together." "When you get to those higher levels, I don't think that men should be competing with women, period, end of story," Cain said. "Many of my ex-girlfriends have been professional athletes, and I really have tremendous respect for women's sports. I think it's hugely important to have women be able to compete against women and do that." Dean Cain's New Christmas Movie Celebrates Faith: A 'Trip Back In Time To Bethlehem' The benchmark theme of "Little Angels" is purpose and perspective and reserves the plot for a heartwarming tale of teamwork and family. "There's a lot of me in that character," Cain said of Rogers. Despite public perception, Rogers cannot be defended from his offside remark about female athletes. "College football coaches get looked at sometimes like they're a deity of something, like they're a God of some kind," Cain said. Rogers is met with an ultimatum: coach a team of 12-year-old girls or lose $5 million. Films like "A League of Their Own," "The Mighty Ducks" and even the true underdog story of "Dodgeball" echo a similar sentiment and evoke childhood memories across generations. Dean Cain Says He 'Had To Get Out Of California': 'Land Of Ridiculousness' The timeless tale in each of these movies follows a team of misfits bonded together by both their love of the game and a defeated coach who finds inspiration through group aspirations. This narrative conjures wistful affection in a way that other genres outside sports dramas cannot. "Take a guy who is flawed in a situation where he doesn't want to be," Cain said. "Through human experience and being with these young ladies and other people, he teaches them teamwork and the value of team and family." The movie, starring Lou Ferrigno, Bryan Callen and Swedish actress Helena Mattson, began casting during the COVID-19 pandemic. "You hope that you get them together and they have chemistry," he said of the athletes. "They are the heart of the story." "The young actresses were phenomenal," Cain said of a cast including Alex Jayne Go and "Role Models" actress Alexandra Stamler. Cain's niece and goddaughter also star in the film as athletes. "I've been called Superman forever and that's great. I love it," Cain said. "If people call me Coach Jake after this, 'Hey Coach Jake,' that's a warm fuzzy for me. It's a big-time warm and fuzzy." Cain is working on four films this year, including a golf-centered movie that he is co-directing with his son. The world premiere of "Little Angels" was featured at the International Christian Film Festival (ICFF) in May. There, Cain was awarded with the ICFF Lifetime Achievement Award. "I've been producing for a long time and directing," Cain said. "Man, I don't feel like I'm anywhere near getting a Lifetime Achievement Award, so, I think they were just being nice to me."
