Alright, lets try something new here. Instead of asking you for pointless information, I'm going to query you for some useful information regarding food!

Suggest something for me.

This week, suggest a drink at Starbucks for me!

I've gone there on occasion, and tried a few things. Two thins in particular I've tried, and liked, was their chai tea late, and their pumpkin spice late. But the later is seasonal. So I can't get that :(
Other things I've tried were, the awake, chai, and green teas. All but the awake were nasty, and imho, a waste of money. Actually, all three were a waste of money. There wasn't anything special about them.. Just teabag, cup, and hot water :S


So suggest something. Do note I'm not particularly fond of coffee. Bonus points if you suggest something that would be delicious, and overly complicated so I needed a printout to tell the drink maker peoples :)

I thought someone might enjoy a laugh out of it. Sometimes it's best not to fix things. Sometimes you should take a hit for the better. Sometimes what is bad brings good and sometimes that bothers me.
Oh, and sometimes it's best let a humor go without comment.

I suggest /not/ Starbucks. Find a little independent coffee hut run by an individual or small group, and go there instead :) Starbucks is overpriced, and doesn't always staff the best baristas. That goes for any chain, really.

However, if you must go there... the only thing I'll drink of theirs is just a plain mocha. They don't rip you off *too* much for that, and their chocolate isn't that bad I guess...

I'm a fan of their lattes, and they're mostly milk, so you could go for one of those I suppose.

Of the top of my head, I can't think of how their tea system works, but I recall their English Breakfast tea is pretty good, so there's something to consider, but I don't know.

I don't know of any independent drink shops. There is a Crazy Mocha.. I have no idea if it is a big chain. I can't find it on wikipedia.. And I only know of three locations in the area where I live..

Thing is I don't know what they have for lattes. I mean, they don't have any lists of all the stuff they have, which is quite infuriating.

I HAVE A GIFT CARD FOR FIVE DOLLARS
Well, I've had the gift card for a few months now but I couldn't be arsed to finish it up. Was for $10, got a chai latte, down to $5. Reused the cup for three weeks for tea.
