I’m glad I don’t go to Dunkin’ Donuts

Dunkin Donuts pulls ad because Rachael Ray’s scarf looks too Arab…

WTF? Are they for real? Man too bad it’s about summer time in SoCal, I’d go buy a scarf or two. I had no idea they were so offensive. Actually I think it’s a cute scarf, again not really appropriate in land of sun and heat or I’d make it part of my daily wardrobe… But then Los Angeles probably isn’t full of wackos who’d call the terrorist police on me if I wear it to a coffeeshop. Maybe we should organize a National Wear an Arab Looking Scarf to Dunkin Donuts Day.

Ugh. Seriously shouldn’t we beyond such ignorance? A scarf in a coffee ad?…

Small, medium, or large?

Can you figure out the cup?

So can you figure out the secret of the coffee cup?

More on Extracts, yeah I’m obsessed…

RIght, I do love Coffee Bean’s Coffee Extract, but it’s $12.95 a liter and it is so rare that I go to Coffee Bean, so blech. Yeah, I know how to use Google, thanks. But usually what I find is that it’s just as expensive online and there are so few options. But today I hit the jackpot, I hope. Today I fould N.O. Brew, and I ordered a 64 oz. bottle of their traditional iced coffee and a 64 oz bottle of their mocha iced coffee. That’s right, 128 oz of extract for $25.50 with shipping. 67.6 oz would have cost me $25.90 locally at Coffee Bean before taxes.

If this is good, I’ll have a new favorite online shop and will be sure to talk about it here and if it or their service sucks you’ll hear about it. But I’m hopeful.. Please be good. Please be good. Pleeeeeeeease!

Naughty Starbucks?

A Christian organization calling itself “The Resistance” has released the following press release:

Starbucks has recently introduced a new version of their logo which features a topless mermaid with her legs spread, which has caused outrage from a nation wide Christian media watchdog organization. The Resistance, with has over 3000 members nationwide, is boycotting Starbucks across the country saying their new logo is inappropriate.

The Starbucks logo has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute, explains Mark Dice, founder of the group. Need I say more? It’s extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves, Slutbucks.

I kind of like her, guess I’m going to hell

Get a clue. Iced Coffee. Sell it. Everywhere. I don’t mean coffeehouses. I mean for home use *nods* Coffee Bean does sell Coffee Extract, for a lot… And I rarely go to Coffee Bean. So basically I get to make up tons of cups of coffee to refrigerate (because umm yeah I have an espresso maker and a pod coffee maker). What I wouldn’t give to be able to buy chilled coffee… just coffee. I like frappuccinos (yeah I probably mutilated that spelling, so?). But I don’t always want that oh so good sugary crap! ;) I just want something to add to my soy milk. Just coffee. If Coffee Bean can sell extract surely some grocery stores can. So VONS, get on that, before I go grocery shopping next weekend, k, thanks!

I want iced coffee! Err ok so I made some, but it’s not the same really, I can’t just make one cup because I know I’ll want some tomorrow and the next day and would rather not go through it every day. If I bitch about this enough will someone hear? Doesn’t anyone else drink coffee iced at home?
