"We're doing something big at Starbucks. Like Venti big. We can't tell you what's going to happen because that'll ruin the surprise. Just come to any U.S. Starbucks on Tuesday, April 8 at noon Eastern / 9 a.m. Pacific, sharp, to celebrate something big."

Perfect timing! On Tuesdays I get out of class at 11:50 and walk to Starbucks since it's in the same building as my 12:30 class. I'll let you guys know what it is from the cafe

Looks like they are launching some new coffee line.

Hmm walk 4 blocks to try a new coffee flavor. Tempting but meh.

well, you know they have to do something, alot of people are going to McD for coffee, its cheaper. maybe not as good, but some might disagree.

I just got into drinking coffee around six months ago.

I generally brew Starbucks Breakfast Blend at home but lately I've been trying some Chocolate Truffle stuff at Walmart that I grind myself.

Then I had a glass of Folgers at my friend's house.


The Folgers tasted pretty good, a little bland and weak but if I hadn't been drinking Starbucks/Premium Blends this whole time I would've never known.

Reminds me of:


Jules: Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit! Me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice, but he springs this serious GOURMET shit on us! What flavor is this?

Jimmy: Knock it off, Julie.

Jules: What?

Jimmy: I don't need you to tell me how fuckin' good my coffee is, ok? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping, she buys shit. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff 'cause when I drink it, I wanna taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It ain't the coffee in my kitchen. It's the dead [censored for political correctness] in my gararge.

Dunkin Donuts > Starbuck's.


Plus, it's not worth burning the gas to get to nearest Starbuck's when there's a DD about a mile from my house.
