A new NAD beverage from Starbucks. It's made from old tires (tyres
across the pond) gently charred and smothered in cream substitute,
high fructose corn sweetener, caffeine, chutney, chives, gum arabic,
more caffeine and emulsifiers; then sprinkled with powdered cheese
food product, imitation chocolate flavor bits and a cinnamon-flavored
taste enhancer.

I feed mine to the shrubbery. (So far the ivy has not complained.) I
don't drink Starbucks flavors very often, as I prefer plain tea with
no sugar.

Ivy is pretty tough, but I was fearful for the ducks!

I don't afford coffee 'out' very often so my experience with Starbucks is
very limited - to my knowledge I have never drunk any of their products. I
have tried - as the following will retail

All I ever drink is unsweetened plain black coffee (well the odd bottle of
wine and of course water, but my only beverage is black coffee) - some years
ago, my Mum visiting the USA, bought back a gift of (..wait for it..
dah-dah) "real special Starbucks coffee" - it was reputed to be plain
high-roasted <I have delete the superlatives> 'French breakfast' coffee. It
smelt like very strong dried fish. It tasted even worse and it stained the
filters red.
It was so bad that I wrote and complained to Starbucks (over here) and after
a bit of confabulation they demanded the packets - which I sent - they
replaced the unopened ones with the same - which I again rejected as
stinking of fish. They then said that my taste was at fault. I demanded that
they stopped following the rule book and actually open a packet, smell it
and then make a cup of coffee with it and then - if they dared, try to drink
it. In the resulting apology they said that their tester's report was that
the coffee smelt "awful" and that the cofee was "undrinkable" - also at this
point they replaced the coffee with "plain" coffee (English Breakfast!!!)
(and 4 times the number of packets that my mum had given us) - we didn't
risk it and gave it all away as Christmas presents. We still have all our
friends, so I guess it was OK
