While traveling last year I saw a billboard with their new coffee on it so I 
tried it.
Tasted about the same to me, burnt, scalding hot and vile.
Tried Starbucks for the first time last year too.
Ditto, but twice the money.
Why do people buy that stuff?
Is it all above style over substance?
I suppose walking around with a Starbucks cup in your hand means you're bad 
to the bone........
