when i was a freshman in college, my boyfriend at the time treated me to a mocha frappe from starbucks and i was hooked. it was so yummy! and from there, i tried all the drinks from starbucks, from the vanilla latte to the green tea frappe. i've always been a starbucks girl, so much so that i haven't honestly tried coffee from any other coffee place; well except for dunkin' donuts (i love their coffee). for example, like gloria jean's coffees. i only ever have the hot white chocolate from there, never coffee. from seattle's best, i get only the javanilla, never coffee. when i think of coffee, i think of a tall hazelnut latte from starbucks. always. is it maybe just the hype of having a starbucks in almost every corner? how about from where you live? where do you guys have coffee?

Interesting that people get hooked on a place. I for one have never seen a Starbucks let alone been in one and I can live to tell the tale. haha
Your description of the coffees does sound like you are drinking a pudding!!

There was a joke on one of our local radio stations that started out with "Late Breaking News" and it went like this ...
"In other news a Starbucks opened in the bathroom of an existing Starbucks"
I still laugh when I hear that playing on the radio because it is so true. Every other corner has a Starbucks on it; at the mall there is one inside a bookstore than five doors down, a full Starbucks store front. That seems a bit excessive. One of the boys likes the Mocha Frappucino (venti of course) but at $4.40 a pop, it's a rare treat if I am paying for it. I think he likes the caffeine kick he gets from it LOL.
We have places like Crazy Mocha, Tea & Me, Zen and Beans .. but they are usually not open as long as Starbucks. Me, I'm cheap, I make my own or go to Circle K and take my 40 ounce mug and get a refill for .99 cents.
