5/22 Are Tullys & Starbucks one company? Why does Tullys also have Tall,
Grande, Venti sizes?
\_ Short and Tall used to be standard sizes for real coffee houses.
Starbucks dropped short as a pussy size.
\_ I think Starbucks has the patent on Tall(r), Grande(r) and Venti(r)
sizes. There's also a suit recently filed between McDonald's and
Burger King over the use of the terms "small, medium, large" in the
soft drink sales side of the fast food business.
\_ Peets > Starbucks.
\_ Peets? When I worked near a Peets I stopped drinking cafe drinks
because it was so horrible.
\_ real coffee tastes bitter. when you load it with sugar, it
tastes more like a soft drink. st*rbucks knows its market.
most americans are still novices with espresso drinks. try a
local coffee house and find out which barista is good. variety
is the spice of life. try not to get hooked on st*rbucks
push-button machines one-flavor-fits-all (like McDonald's)
model. |
