Cause it’s not a coffee place anymore. They sell more sugar than coffee. Their coffee sucks too.

I’d never had Starbuck’s coffee before. I use to get their fraps all the time, but I knew this was nothing but a milkshake.

A few weeks ago, I decided to stop and get a simple latte, a very basic coffee drink. That was pure garbage. Tasted like old drip coffee with cream in it.

It’s undrinkable. It tastes like burnt toast.

The thing that I will give Starbucks credit for is that they forced other coffee sellers and even gas stations to up their coffee game. I have multiple local coffee shops around me that are outstanding.

The coffee at a Buccees or a flying J is significantly better than Starbucks.

I’m convinced 20% of the obesity epidemic is directly tied to people drinking milkshakes for breakfast and calling it coffee.
