All I know about Starbucks is that it's overpriced and Italians hate it because they say it's not real coffee. Those extra large cookies are nice though.
@Ancel De Lambert: that begs the question: why use beans roasted a specific way for a particular beverage for any other beverages? That's just bad logistics (but people buy it, so what do they care?). I've had their stuff once (literally the only place around) and was less than impressed.
In fairness to Starbucks, their coffee is specifically roasted to be used in espresso. If you drink it any other way it tastes like dirt. Which is how everyone drinks it because not a one of them actually wants coffee, they want their sugar bomb.
(Continued) or as something to take in-between coffee breaks (which is a huge cultural thing in Sweden, called "fika"). While I am of the minority Swedes who doesn't enjoy coffee, I am still well aware of my countrymen's ability to detect the smallest flaw in coffee quality. SB would NEVER survive.
@Riccardo Vela True. Sweden is a HUGE coffe nation, one of the world's largest every-day consumers of coffee. We chug down on the stuff the way Germans chug down beer in oktoberfest, so Star Bucks doesn't exist here. Latte is considered something lightweight, only for teenagers (TBC)
Growing up my dad made military coffee. One pot of water to one can of coffee ground. To counter this my mom added Milk, Sugar and Hot Chocolate mix.
I could never bring myself to drink coffee, the smell turned me off it. Again, military coffee. And those coffee toffee/candies make me sick.
I hate most Starbuck coffees, they're too fancy with not enough taste behind it IMO. Truth be told however, I'm no connoisseur of coffee, I can't fathom how people like that drink hot, Iced and milk-shake-like is the way to go. XD
@Jo Pereira: looks like it man, keep the good ones coming! :D
point 1 Jo. his arms ARE pale.
I dont drink coffee, always been scared of the taste and then never was interested. (siped the remains of one once, yuck.)
and caffeine from soda and energy drinks doesn't affect me at all. :S :(
I know the pain, I have low blood pressure so I need caffeine to start up. At the same time, I seriously hate taste of coffee au naturelle, so I add sugar and milk... but I really should cut down on sugar due to diabetes risk... so I try my best without coffee, or only with minimal sugar.
@Collin Rotton Reaper's...not black. He's hispanic or latino. The skin tone here is still wrong and could do with being a bit darker, but he's hispanic or latino.
@Riccardo Vela Except that tastes bitter and awful, and I firmly believe that anyone who can drink coffee black either has no sense of taste or something that switches flavors around.
Coffee is a matter of culture, and Americans are used to make a blend of them. A traditionalist coffee drinker won't add sugar or milk to the espresso, just make it not bitter and drink it raw to better taste the toasting of the beans. Starbucks deal in coffee-flavoured beverages, not actual coffee.
@Jo Pereira: Have you considered the headache of a process that would be adding a bunch of decorations to the inside of the bar? (and actively tracking the size and layout of the bar)
I mean if I had infinite shotguns that I could throw away after firing and pull new ones from thing air,and the ability to turn into smoke and fly I'd drink whatever the fuck I want and be proud of it.
Because shotguns.
I haven't laughed this much at one of your comics in a long time. (I think?)
I mean I totally enjoy them all but this one was extra special.
Hilarious.
Well Starbucks coffee tastes like someone put a cigarette out in it so really the only way to actually enjoy it is by covering up the taste with as much other shit as you can.
