No thanks, I don't do Starbucks...when i want a cup of coffee, I want coffee. Not something with a dash and a twist and whipped cream on top.

I've heard a very appropriate name for the company. It's called "Charbucks."

In the very infrequent occasions I have to go into a Charbucks, I ask for black coffee. I always get a funny look, because apparently most people order goop and sugar with a dash and a twist and whipped fluff on top.

hi5, btw

There's a very good reason we don't have many Starbucks around here.

It's called Dunkin Donuts.

I hate coffee but their Double Chocolate-y Chip Frappacino - non fat, no whip and extra chocolate drizzle on top - is quite good.  :drool:  It's my occasional Saturday treat.

I tried their lime cooler.... wasn't bad, until I realized how much I paid for it. Then it was nasty!

Also think their hot chocolate sucks.

I really don't see how people can go there on a regular basis...too expensive!

I had a REALLY good strawberry ice tea from Wendy's yesterday. I asked for it unsweetened but still the strawberry juice added just a nice hint of sweetness.  Now I want another, dammit!

Nice offer! I'll pass, I too call it "Charbucks". Had their coffee once, asked for it "Americana", still tasted burnt. I'd rather go to Dutch Bros.

Best coffee in recent history was when me and the kids were passing through Mawah (otherwise know by us as MWAH!) New Jersey on our way back from my grandmother's funeral in April. Little tiny 7-Eleven next to a bridge/underpass thingy, popped in for a caffeine boost, and could not believe how absolutely delicious this coffee was. I don't even remember the hoity toity flavor i got, probably vanilla something or other, but it was the best EVAH.

And that takes a lot for me to say, because otherwise, I DESPISE 7-Eleven with a hate-filled-passion that almost consumes me on a daily basis.

I'm not a big coffee drinker but leftover coffee chilled in the refrigerator and served over ice makes a nice iced coffee (I toss in a hazelnut & vanilla creamer for every 8 ounces of coffee).

It helps if you store it in an air-tight container or it starts tasting funky.

I do the strawberry Coolatta quite often.  The Heiress likes the raspberry lime version.  Pretty soon, it'll be time to switch to hot chocolate.  If I want coffee, I make it for my wife and I (every morning).

If Carrot Top keeps up with the old comments....I'm gonna smack the shit out of him! (I hope he's short so I can reach!)

I don't know who Pilot gets their hot chocolate from, but it's the best ever. Especially with some French Vanilla Cream added to it. I've heard their coffee is also really good (I will never know!) It's also very cheap...a 20oz (maybe bigger) is $1.25. If you don't have a Pilot around, they also own Flying J ...I'm assuming the hot chocolate/coffee would be the same both places. They have several flavors of coffee...
