Coffee or gas?

Starbucks took a commodity product and through shrewd marketing positioned themselves as a premium brand; charging premium prices. When it dawned on people that their outrage over $4.00 per gallon prices of gasoline was dwarfed by even higher prices for a CUP of coffee, the mystique of Starbucks began to errode that and the coffee really isn't that good is it? I'd rather drink my petrol and save some time, you?

FYI: You can strain transmission fluid through bread and get drunk on it without much fear of blindness. Not sure about the cost comparision, but it was a common practice in the Soviet army for generations so the tradition should be respected if nothing else.

It'll kill dogs and cats, but thats only because they're too dumb to strain it first.

Do you mean anti-freeze?

Starbucks makes a damn fine iced coffee, and it costs only about 15 cents more than 7-11.

I don't get hot coffee there often, but I am too lazy to make iced coffee so I stop in frequently in hot months.

Perhaps global warming will help their business.

It may have been.

Good call.

My time in the Spetsnaz is largely a blur.

I just want to sure before the happy hour bell rings. I am always on the look out for cheap fluids to get high on. I live on a busy street, so car fluids are a nice source of cheap intoxicants.

Me never got the Starbucks thing with foam and squirting stuff in coffee. I like my coffee like I like my women. Ground up and in the freezer. Or was that, hot and black, or maybe bitter with a prune danish.

They got that fancy stuff, but they also have the regular stuff where you can even pour your own milk. I don't have the appropriate vocabulary to order them foamy drinks, especially early in the day.

I've seen the men with that vocabulary.

We're not like them.

Well maybe AL, but just a little.
