The starbucks ones are better coffee and are usually pretty light on the shaved ice (which melts much faster) that dunkin donuts uses, but they do cost significantly more per ounce. Never tried a Tim Hortons one.

Do you remember that time that thing happened?
This is a bad thread and you should all feel bad

To be honest , i mostly drink it for the coffee syrup ( im assuming now , this is what they use in the frappachino and ice mochas ) . I dont like how actual coffee tastes , so thats properly why i dont like Starbuck's cupped coffee.

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

So your entire complaint boils down to the fact that your talking squirrel doesn't like having to read words other than "small medium large" when demarcating serving size? I hope you never use any other fast food service either, since thats a universal trend.

No, my main complaint would be the bullgak eliteist mindset that would even bother to create such a ridiculous marketing ploy for somthing as simple as selling a fething cup of coffee.

It did get off the ground and they had an almost GW-like propensity for slotting stores on every corner of the CBD (Sydney) - after they were rejected by the local council where most of the really good coffee shops are.
They disappeared into the same hole Taco Bell did, apparently.
Their coffee was crap, anyway. I tried it once - and the roast was overdone (burned) and very bitter. Not normal coffee bitter, but that really rancid bitterness.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

I mean it never got off the ground here in Tasmania. I saw one store in Hobart that was around for about six months before shutting down due to a lack of customers.
I've never even seen a Taco Bell here though.
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.
