This thing , im sure lots of people love this. But its very expensive , around $3 a bottle?
I have recently tried out Milk 2 Go's Coffee Commotion (tastes the same) , if price and weight content are compared , its only 1/3 of the price!
and Milk , it does the body good! ( unless you are lactose intolerant like me uhoh -_- )
So give it a try!

I gave up on starbucks a long time ago because of the price. I can't fathom the people that drink it every morning. I will go there every once in a while for one of those strawberry cream things (yummy), but for the most part, if I want a cold sweet thing in the morning, I'll just pour some chocolate syrup in my coffee. It tastes good, and it's cheap!
I wish wish wish I could go to the winter olympics... they're really close this time, relatively speaking. I just can't do it this year :-/
I would buy a 4-pack of those starbucks drinks every month or so last year. I haven't been drinking them lately... I figured they weren't all that healthy, and dehydrate me somewhat (like all coffee products... but not as bad as straight coffee!)
I starting to think the same thing, though i suspect its something more insidious. shes been .... a-a-amercanized.......

Actually, I was going more towards her being from Quebec. But thanks for letting me know how you guys feel about americans.
Most of us get coffee from WaWa's or Dunkin Donuts you know. Those are more american than that snooty "starbucks" "coffee".
TBH there are more chinese than there are caucasians.
to make things worse they are all from china. only consolation to that is atleast the population can figure out the difference between china people and other asians.
Not to mention whats left of the french are all hidden in quebec. they have been shunned by the rest of canada ever since they pulled that stupid stunt years ago.

I think that I would be a jerk if my ancestors hadn't lost all of their property in Quebec. Unfortunately they decided to go to America during the freakin revolutionary war so that must've been so much better.
Could be due to preservatives that they put into the bottled beverages. The hot ones are consumed right after they are made while the bottled ones may sit on a shelf for a week or so.
Also, once you burn your tongue on the coffee it ruins your sense of taste for a couple of days.
Its most likely the pasteurization. After the coffee is made, it is bottled, sealed, and reheated in order to kills any germs. Gives the product a nearly unlimited shelf-life, but also has an impact on taste.
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

Starbucks is crap and never got going around here.
I can buy better coffee at the supermarket down the road.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
Not had the milk to go stuff, and I am a big fan of Frappuccino's, but I've discovered that Sheetz do a nice alternative with their Sheetz Bros. iced coffee cans.
My wife likes Starbucks. Can't remember what it is she drinks though.
I personally hate the place, the crap music they play, the atmosphere, and the people in there.
The thing I think sums it up is their no smoking signs [whiney voice] "please don't smoke as it will harm our coffee" [/whiney voice] (or something like that).
I've always been tempted every time I go in there to add to the bottom "And [cencored] the damage smoking does to your lungs, we don't care about you at all"
It always entertains me all the hippy, yuppy types who drink in there, supporting the global mega company which wees all over the little people.
Edit: Sorry for the rant, I just really hate Starbucks.

Oh Oh, no you didnt. never acuse a Canadian of being French. Especially not a Western Canadian, im surprised you still have skin. And dont take it to hard being from the wrong side of the border, there are plenty of nice things down south too. like ...... wellll..... err........ oh ya! Indian motorcycles, privateer press, D&D. its a great little place
on topic: i dont know Luna why it always tastes different. i can only think its in the way its prepared. Tims coffee at home tastes no where near as good as from the shop. so go figure, probably just the maker.
