there's a story on the internet news today about some college kid getting the "most expensive starbucks drink ever". the drink was like $24 and it took two baristas half an hour to put it all together. wtf? a shot of espresso costs like a dollar, so how hard can it be? start with one ginormous extra large -- they have something larger than a venti now. that's probably four, five bucks right there. make it some kind of latte and you'll get on up to eight or so, easy. add a few shots, wah lah. this kid who got the $24 drink added crazy sht like strawberries and banana. wtf?? fruit in coffee??

the news article said it was "lucky" he had a coupon, as if he had accidentally ended up with a $24 cup of coffee and without the coupon he would have had to have (pluperfect!) hocked his pappy's guitar to pay for it. as if! as if you could walk into any coffee shop, including starbucks, and accidentally spend $24. as if! as if he just stumbled across that "lucky" coupon! it was mailed to him, for his birthday. as if! as if i don't get those, too, and every time i get a free drink coupon i scurry on over and get a $10 coffee drink... on purpose!
