To the people who do go to Starbucks (I have nothing against them but have never really found time to go), do the Frappuccinos taste the same out of the bottle that you buy at the store as they do at Starbucks?


No, the ones at Starbucks are better, but the bottled ones are excellent. thumbs up!


Thanks! If they taste even better at Starbucks, then I've so got to go there soon. drool

the bottled ones are kind of a rip off unless you can find the bigger sized bottles. so *I* think, anyway. both taste fine to me.

Coffee diluted in that much water is a crime.

That might be why I gave the edge to the ones at Starbucks, actually. Plus, you can fine-tune your drink when you go to the actual Starbucks.

falloff Gallon jugs would be nice. That reminds me of the time when I was at Gloria Jean's Coffee, and they had this huge - I do mean huge - coffee cup on the display case and it was full of sugar packets or some such thing. Gloria Jean's also sells coffee mugs, so I was like, "Excuse me, is that mug for sale?" It wasn't. cry

Takin a poll here...

Do you buy their frapuccinos? If yes...

Do you buy their pomgrannite frapuccinos? If yes...

Does Pomgrannite Frappucino sound gay to you?


Thank you for your time!


Only when my girlfriend drags me out there.

Yes, it is one of the few things I can say on the menu with out sounding like an ass.

No, what the hell is that?

No, I think of scrubbing my feet when I hear that now.

i SWEAR if i knew they were in favor of evil shit i would stray FAR from starbucks. i mean, if i felt they were even WALMART evil and were pushing indie coffee shops out of my nabe, i'd boycott them.

but...they're merely obnoxious. ubiquitous. more of a mascot for angry yippies than an actual perpetrator of horribleness.

but i don't know all there is to know about them. so if they support halliburton, let me know, cuz i will ditch their ass!


Actually I am kidding. They apparently pay well...pay the Juan Valdez really well too. My only thing with them is they put out all the mom and pop cafe's and that they are everywhere...even across the street from one another...you almost have zero choice when it comes to getting coffee from anywhere other than starbucks.

I remember when I wanted to get a cup of joe at Cafe Voltaire...it was gone! And I asked around and folks said that one SB opened up and then another and pretty much all of the cafes disappeared.

Thank you for your time!


I Go to starbucks.

If the weather is very hot I do buy the frapuccinos.

I buy standard espresso, not coffee, based frapuccino without a flavor shot.

Fruit Smoothies are not gay.

No. I don't drink coffee, or tea, or eat the foods associated with that experience.
