Starbucks is now in the instant coffee business. Interesting. I may have to try it, just to see if it’s any good. I’ve actually had some okay’ish flavored instant coffees, but I really only like coffee with lots of milk. Iced. So I’m not sure how this could work out for me.
Oopsie. Starbucks double billed about 1 million customers over Memorial Day Weekend. Guess it really does pay to double check your debit / credit statements. They say it was fixed / credited for all but if you bought coffee there on a card that weekend, it never hurts to check for yourself. We do every weekend, but I’m pretty sure we didn’t get ripped off, HA!
The full list of the Starbucks closures…

Of course Starbucks says it is providing this list as general information only and not as an obligation on their part to actually close these stores. Perhaps because they knew some people would protest some of the closures? Seattle takes it’s Starbucks seriously afterall, they are collecting signatures to save a store there.
Want to save yours? Good luck, but here’s your starting point: Save Our Starbucks

OMFG! I just discovered that Starbucks’ doubleshot light is sweetened with Splenda. I pretty much stopped drinking soda when 7up decided to stop offering a splenda version though I occasionally drink one of my BF’s diet coke’s because — sweetened with splenda. I don’t like having too much sugar. And whether the stories are true or not (and yes I realize every sweeter can be bad) Splenda appears to be the one with the least warnings etc, so I feel best about using it if getting low calorie sugar free stuff. So YaY Starbucks, since most other we use Splenda in our products companies I liked switched back to aspartame, which I won’t use when I’m paying attention anyway 
Another at home iced coffee I can easily have without it being a pain to make as it’s made for me!

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

Hazelnut to be exact. I must admit, while I AM addicted to coffee, I’m not a fan of just coffee. It has to be iced, well the occasional hot latte, but even in winter I prefer iced. And yes it’s those “girly” drinks. Lots of milk, sometimes mochas. No black coffee for me. So perhaps I’m almost the reverse of a coffee snob? It seems like coffee snobs tend to be the ones who are very picky about certain roasts, flavours, blends, whatever. Me? Throw some coffee / espresso and a bunch of milk with some ice and maybe a syrup or chocolate in a cup and I’m happy.
That said, McDonalds iced hazelnut = Yummmy Yummy in my tummy. Yeah, I said it. I might even try the plain iced coffee next time I’m at a McDonalds. I’ll probably skip vanilla though.
Oh, did I say I’m NOT a coffee snob? I am I guess. I’ve found two flavours I don’t think work well in iced coffees = vanilla and honey. I’ve tried the vanilla ones at Starbucks and meh, they just don’t work for me. And also at Starbucks they had a honey latte I thought sounded interesting especially when I was getting over a cold, honey is good for sore throats right? Ohh, honey and iced coffees at least do NOT mix. Not sure about hot ones, but the iced experience was enough to make me not want to find out.

I am pretty sure that every regular employee at our local Starbucks knows my regular drink and Brian’s by heart and most know our names. We might be addicts, even though we only go on weekends usually. Though, I’m kind of evil, I through them for a loop at times and *gasp* dare to order something different where as Brian can pretty much only drink a venti latte with 2 sweet and lows or he might die.
I’m also thinking of redoing the coffee cup logo for this very page as I really did rush it and when my mommy person isn’t busy someday teaching her how to use her log in so she can post some coffee recipes… hmm…
