What Do They Put In This Stuff???

I used to be a pure soda pop lover. Mountain Dew was #1, Pepsi, Root Beer, heck even an occasional RC.

Mountain Dew is still king of the hill....but changes are afoot. Changes started about a year ago. Tha's when the Starbucks with a drive thru came to town. Up until then, the only Starbucks was part of the local Barnes and Noble.

I have always had a little chuckle at the fashionable coffee crowd. To me, THEY were the beanie wearing, poetry reading, and BMW/Hummer driving crowd. THEY were smug. THEY thought they were too mature to drink pop. Funny, sad, pathetic THEM.

Then it happened. While out with Mrs. WHW, she suggested going to the new one. I had absolutely no idea how to order. All they had was coffee, right? Regular or decaf were the two choices my parents had. One pot had a black spout, one had a red spout. So, as I walked up to order, I froze. A whole menu based on coffee??? What should I do?????? They don't have small, medium and large!!! Venti????? What's a venti????

Mrs. WHW, after laughing at my fear to order, jumped in and ordered me a Cappuccino. She then ordered something that I think was a coffee, but consisted of about 9 words. I remember hearing white, decaf, mocha, and low-fat. She musy have known what she was doing, since the person waiting on us nodded, wrote a few words on her cup, and asked for $8.00.

$8.00!!!??? Were we getting cake with it????? Nope. While standing at the register, I got a gentle nudge from Mrs. WHW. I learned you move down to the next station to get your drink....and its sort of the honor system there. No numbers, no standing in order....they bark out the drink and you jump in and get it.

The cappuccino was good (after adding some half-and-half and two packets of sugar). Nice part of our night out.

Fast forward 10 months to today. Something odd has happened. I find myself wanting to go there. I stop by after work, I stop on my Walmart trips, I stop on my mornings off when I take youngest son out for a Krispy Creme. I now have a Starbucks card. I am now ordering Wet Venti Cappuccinoes without being embarassed. What the heck happened????? I am part of the THEM crowd!!!!!!! To make it worse, today the lady asked me if it was wet enough.....and I knew what she was asking me!!!!!!!!!!!

I am convinced that there is something in these drinks that has taken over my mind. Something that makes me crave these drinks....and that music. I must have a pod somewhere with my name on it. Someone please help me......

On second thought, can someone please put another $20 on my card?????

Thanks.

	HJ Armstrongwrote: YES! Another addict! Mine is so bad that I have been known to frequent Starbucks every single day for a month. The last 9 months have been particularly bad because I moved to England for grad-school and unless you live in London, there is not a Starbucks on every street corner as there are in California :(. The only one where I live is in Borders and yes, the staff all know me. So much so that I have been out drinking with them. What a way to network, become an addict - get new friends. When people ask why I go to this Starbucks so often, I tell them that it's my only little piece of home where, thanks to franchise rules and regulations, I know that I will get exactly what I got in Cali. Cheers! 20 Apr.
	Jeaniewrote: I had Starbucks once. It was good, but I have no clue as to what I ordered. All I know is it was $5 for a cup of coffee. My husband nearly fainted and I was wired the rest of the day. I'll stick with Diet Coke, thanks. LOL Take care! 5 Apr.

	Dr Carawrote: I swear, they put crack in the coffee at Starbucks! It's the only explanation I can come up with for why their stuff is so addicitve! 2 Apr.
