Well I just made my first trip into Starbucks in the last 5 years.
Went with my Brother in Law who is addicted to one of their drinks and has one daily. I don't know what the hell it was he orders but it ended up smelling like peppermint!
COFFE that smells like Peppermint should be illegal!
I ordered a medium black, and quickly remembered why I don't go to Starbucks.
By the way--you don't just order a medium black coffee and get away with it.
The "guy?" at the window let me know it was going to be a VENTE. He also had a name for the black coffee but I don't remember what he called it.
I grew up on oilfield coffee, and it can get pretty potent depending on who is making it, and what time of the day it is. I LOVE strong black coffee.
No sugar, no milk, no added candy flavor and I am used to drinking it 24 hours a day no matter the circumstances.
Well?
That $4.00 cup of black Starbucks put me in my place.
2 sips and it won the bet you can't finish me game.
Absolutely the nastiest, most bitter, boiling to the point of being molten concoction I have ever forced through my lips.
$4.00 for a cup of that crap should be considered highway robbery.
$11.00 for 2 drinks?
Now I can go another 5 years not wondering why I don't go back.
