Bigsis will be happy
Well, bigsis will be happy — it looks like none of her Starbucks will be among the 600+ that are getting hit by the “belt-tightening” that’s recently been announced by the Starbucks corporate mothership.
Also, neither of the two that have just opened up around here got hit, which is good, ’cause bigsis gets a bit cranky when she doesn’t get her Starbucks during her visits! 
(love ya sweetie!)

Big sis, I think, would disagree.
McDonalds creams Starbucks in Coffee survey
[Published: Friday 2, February 2007 - 17:27]
Consumer testers in the US have declared coffee from McDonald’s better than the brew at Starbucks.
The burger chain’s Premium Roast was chosen as the tastiest by Consumer Reports magazine.
It also beat the offerings at Burger King and Dunkin’ Donuts.
The trained sippers found the $1.55 Starbucks coffee “strong, but burnt and bitter”, according to the New York Post.
But the cheaper McDonald’s caffeine fix, costing $1.35 was “decent and moderately strong”.
“Although it lacked the subtle top notes needed to make it rise and shine, it had no flaws,” the magazine said.
Burger King got a roasting for a drink that “looked like coffee but tasted more like hot water”, while the beverage at Dunkin’ Donuts was “inoffensive, but it had no oomph”.
Now, I just find this all kinds of funny. And, I must admit, true — Starbucks coffee has always struck me as being way, WAY too strong, in a heavy/burnt kind of way. I like a good strong cuppa joe, but Starbucks’ brew is just too much. McD’s will do in a pinch, and it is better than the offerings at Dunkin’ Donuts. My favorite if I’m buying, though, is probably from the local coffee house just a ways up the street.
I’m just hoping that this will get a comment or two out of the Starbucks dependent big sis! �

A gift for big sis
Yup, I think that this might just be the gift for me to give my big sis, in order to help keep her Starbucks-addicted self on the straight path (get it? Straight Path! — HA! — I slay me. Thank you, I’ll be here all week…)
And here’s why big sis probably wouldn’t be a willing space explorer…
