On the plus side, it's a society that has already prepared for mass diarrhea.

there are a few countries out there where starbucks would be an improvement over the local brew. India is one.

Ooh, without using milk or cream, their coffee is really going to taste like shiat. They'd better hope the local stuff is worse.

LOL Wut?

Are you implying that Indians don't use milk/cream?

// Because they use the hell out of milk and cream, hell, they put it in tea.

Not the Hindu ones.

You know, one doesn't have to kill a cow to get milk out of it.

I'd say there's more than a few -- and I'm a genuine coffee snob.

Huh, I knew there was coffee grown in India, but thought they were all more into drinking tea.

I don't even drink coffee but I like my SBUX.

Can't blame them. They come to the Puget Sound area, spend several years here developing a taste for burnt coffee while working in tech, move back to India, and start jonesing for some of that overpriced java. Bound to happen, really.
