The Onanist: Sid_6.7: You know who else burned the juice?

That was the FIRST thing I thought of...

/Am I a bad person??

No. Don't blame yourself. Blame the juice.

Well lets get this out of the way.

i ate something at starbucks this morning. it sucked. the cheese all ran out, and the lettuce was a wilty piece of shiat. i was mad all day. hell i'm still pissed off.

NEVAR AGAIN!!!! elevnty1!!

boycot starbucks...dont give them any monies!

Am I wrong, but is fruit juice now considered to be quite unhealthy on the grounds that it contains all of the sugar of several pieces of fruit with none of the fibre?

Go cry into your brown water, subby.

The won't burn it, it'll just be "strawberry" flavored corn syrup, banana flavored corn syrup, etc. Nothing healthy there.

"But the purchase, Starbucks' attempt to "reinvent the $1.6-billion super-premium juice segment," is just a stepping stone into the $50-billion health and wellness sector, the company said Thursday."

Isn't the consumer paradise Americans have built for themselves just swell? really makes life worth living.

Came for the My Little Pony reference du jour, left satisfied.

I just got an Omega VRT 330 juicer last week...

Also, I JUST made a smooth delicious Ecuadorian highlands coffee from Seven Hills Coffee from my french press, so I'm also getting a kick out of you poor Starbucks drinkers...

I went to Jamba Juice. I think I paid something like $6 for a glass of juice.

Haven't gone back.

Jamba Juice used to make these huge killer shakes when they first started out. Stuff gave you a rush.

Great. Can't wait to hear the juice orders by high-maintenance Sbux customers: "Hi, I'd like a venti half-grapefruit, half-pineapple blend NO PULP with a shot of room-temperature carrot on the side."

Sid_6.7: You know who else burned the juice?

Over in two.

It sorta is. If you don't like it, you can vote on the matter by drinking something else. If nobody likes it, it'll go away, Crystal Pepsi style.

my personal fav right now for breakfast is fresh pineapple, mango, and papaya, mixed with coconut water, and organic acai.

A good dinnertime juice is 6 Kale leaves, 2 Granny Smith apples, 4 Celery, 1/2 a lemon

Go to Vons and buy some damn fruits, put the rest of your money towards paying off your student loans.

Fruits?

i'd frack it.

Yes, burn 'the juice'

Starbucks recently expanded their breakfast offerings due to targeted competition from McDonalds.

McDonalds started doing frozen coffee beverages so Starbucks started doing hot egg sandwiches and other offerings.

They also reportedly will be offering a lighter coffee for those who prefer coffee that isn't as strong as Starbucks current offering. Not sure when that is scheduled to launch.

I am at a Starbucks now and the line is outside the door. There's no sale or specials being offered yet they have a lot of traffic in recent weeks.

stuhayes2010: The won't burn it, it'll just be "strawberry" flavored corn syrup, banana flavored corn syrup, etc. Nothing healthy there.

Doing the super duper pasteurizing thing they mentioned in TFA is basically burning it by juice standards.

SweetSilverBlues:
/they can have my pom juice when they pry it from my cold, stained fingers

porn juice?

This always gets me about companies like Starbucks. You spend years creating a great business model: Coffee and some cakes. Then some trend comes along and you decide to tack that on the side. Before long your original, successful business is so weighed down with half-baked ideas that no one wants to go there.

It's the business equivalent of feature-creep.

Great. So now we'll see yuppie juice stores on every other farking corner, in every city, in every country.


Get farked, Starbucks.

CeroX: french press

Just bought one of these and a burr grinder. Awesome. The Starbucks Komodo Dragon bean is pretty damn good.

Oh great, more crazy 6-step drinks that I'll have to learn how to make.

/Dunno how long I'll last at Starbucks

Jake Havechek: Jamba Juice used to make these huge killer shakes when they first started out. Stuff gave you a rush.

In my old town, all we had was Jamba Juice. Thank God. I moved and was exposed to the horror of Orange Julius and all the other crap smoothie makers. Part ice, part apple/pineapple juice, and part X-berry premade sugary syrup is no way to make a smoothie!!!

/CSB

They burn their beans!

How many people are being ripped off by them , under the guise of "quality" coffee? It's sad.

/Free the robots

Benevolent Misanthrope: Fark Starbuck's. Tully's FTW.

Fark Tully's. Fark Tully's right in their Spinelli-destroying ass.

"We won't change anything," my ass. Eliminated the best coffee in San Francisco, they did. Good thing there is Peet's as a backstop.

/ yes, I hold grudges

You shut your whore mouth! Orange Julius has been around longer than I've been alive! They're the original smoothie place.

I've been in seattle for twenty years. For about the first 15 years I was here I was one of the cool kids and always went out of my way to avoid starbucks. Not sure what happened but I got over it - probably from making frequent trips to visit my family in Alabama where one prays for a starbucks because, damn, those people will tolerate some weak ass coffee. And coffee 'whitener' and 'creamer' that surely has never been within miles of anything resembling an actual dairy product. Anyway... nowadays I like starbucks and I'm fine with that.

/Xhibit off.

I've spent 57.29 times memory at Starbucks.

Minus money.

Money under-spent.

I advocate supporting smaller java shops.

I once envisioned a book/coffee store biz in biz...

REALLY glad I didn't make that happen currently. Big money outweighs little money, apparently. fark that.

;)

In San Francisco there's Blue Bottle, Four Barrel, and Sightglass. Why the hell would you drink that burnt crap from Peet's?!
