Make your own Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino.

This only costs like a dollar to make, compare that too about 4 dollars at Starbucks!

This doesn't have coffee in it. What is the point of drinking a liquid from Starbucks if it doesn't have caffeine in it?

What is a Frappuccino anyways, is it supposed to have coffee in it?

I hate those things, apparently that's what most people buy at Starbucks, I read somewhere that their best selling product is the Frappuccino, which is basically a revolting mix of milk/cream plus fruit smoothie and coffe, maybe, I don't really know.

Starbucks is terrible. Since I realized that yes, I do have more than a modicum of self-respect, I've avoided that place like the plague.

If I'm out with a girl, and she wants to go to Starbucks I either let her pay. Or convince her to go to a local cafe that serves free trade coffee. Now, I don't really give a fuck about the fact that it's free trade. It's the fact that for a dollar fifty I can get a cup the size of a half cantaloupe full of delicious coffee that doesn't taste like it was roasted till it was burnt like the souls of the Co's of Starbucks.

But seriously, fuck Starbucks. Fuck it.

I can understand why there's no caffeine in this version of the drink, it's for her kids. Of course she's not going to give them a pound of sugar with a caffeine shot.

LOL, SO FUNNY! Hating starbucks is now like hating people with Che shirts, hating Wal-Mart, hating Bush, etc. Starbucks is actually pretty damned good jacksses, but you're just too afraid not to run with the pack. First it was cool to go there, now it's lame, tomorrow drinking Mcdonald's coffee will be a fad, the next day it will be for posers, etc.

You guys aren't original or cool in the slightest. I'm so glad I am who I am, it would have been so unfortunate to be born as any of you. lol

If you say so. I live in Wyoming. The nearest Starbucks outside of a grocery store is 50 miles away. It's not that I hate them to be trendy, it's that I grew up in the country drinking black coffee that tasted of coffee, which is definitely what I prefer.

Drink whatever you want. I'm not inclined to drop $4 for a pint of coffee when I can brew perfectly acceptable coffee with my stovetop perc at home.

Can you pull that massive cock out of your ass? Or do you have to step off of your pedestal first?

There are good reasons for hating every single one of those things.

Che; the people who wear shirts with his face imprinted on it often have no idea what he actually did and just go around saying that he was a revolutionary, he was a fucking murderer and sure he did a lot for the socialist movement in Cuba but you can't go printing his face on a shirt. He has an amazing back story and if you were to ask five people wearing the same shirt, maybe one would be able to spout a bit of nonsense about him.

Wal-mart is responsible for destroying many peoples lives, and I don't mean just from their rock bottom prices due to cheap imports. http://www.amazon.com/Small-Mart-Revolution-Businesses-Beating-Competition/dp/1576753867 This is an interesting read about what Wal-mart is doing on a small scale, pushing local and small business into bankruptcy.

Starbucks, if I wanted my coffee to taste like candy I'd let my cousin have a go at making it. If I want it burnt, I'll leave it on the heating element for too long, if I want ice cream in a cup.. Well you get the picture. 4 dollars for a fucking biscotti? Or how about 8 for a fucking ham and cheese sandwich. There is a difference between charging 5 dollars for a gourmet cup of coffee, and paying five dollars for some air headed fucking "barista" to ruin my day with the swill they call "Americano"

And I used to work at Mcdonalds. For the price, their coffee is delicious.

So either get the fuck out of OI with your bullshit posts that only make you look like some pretentious prick and bring you no respect whatsoever except from your own bloated ego.

The same can be applied to the Founding Fathers, but no one questions them because there hasn't been a bandwagon of conformity for people (like you) to jump on.

Wal-mart is responsible for destroying many peoples lives,

So is the US government.

Okay, you stick to your own ham and cheese sandwiches you fucking proletariat. I highly doubt you can make coffee as good as they can.


I work at Mcdonalds.

I just realized that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The founding fathers? You can't just pull this shit out of your ass and expect it to fly.

Come on man, you can do better than that. And changing my quote around? I work at McDonalds? I used to work there is what I said, it was a good job for the time.


I like how you are making all these assumptions about me being conformist. It's really nice, good way to detract from the fact that you have no basis to your arguments.

It really hurts to be called a working class person. Oh god, I live paycheck to paycheck and don't feel like dishing out a fair bit of money for coffee that I could easily make as good or better at home, Coffee Franchises are there for me to get coffee on the run. If I don't like the coffee, I'm not going to keep going there. I don't base my life around waking up and making sure I get that Starbucks fix.

I mean, you're screaming about conformity here and yet one of the largest coffee chains in North America is where you prefer to go? Either you're a high school kid and your parents let you take their Escalade to go get your frappe fix or you're just some pretentious twenty something with nothing better to do than argue the good virtues of Star Bucks.

23. In fine, A Nation well regulated is like a Polypus; take away a Limb, its Place is soon supply'd; cut it in two, and each deficient Part shall speedily grow out of the Part remaining. Thus if you have Room and Subsistence enough, as you may by dividing, make ten Polypes out of one, you may of one make ten Nations, equally populous and powerful; rather, increase a Nation ten fold in Numbers and Strength.
And since Detachments of English from Britain sent to America, will have their Places at Home so soon supply'd and increase so largely here; why should the Palatine Boors be suffered to swarm into our Settlements, and by herding together establish their Language and Manners to the Exclusion f ours? Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion.
24. Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Compexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.

Nothing is more certain in the book of fate that niggers are to be free. Nor is it less certain that, these two races, equally free, cannot exist under the same government

I like eugenics

Sounds like a bunch of assholes to me, yet they are revered as heroes. No one cries when someone wears a Thomas Jefferson shirt, but I'm certain everyone would be balling if I wore a www.stormfront.org shirt to the bank.
If the founding faggots achieved what they wanted, the USA would have been something more along the lines of Nazi Germany, but with an inverted ecnomic and social policy. They were racialists, and quite a few murders of native populaces occurred under their command. In other words, public education does not remember them as they were and they were no different than Che.

I like how you are making all these assumptions about me being conformist. It's really nice, good way to detract from the fact that you have no basis to your arguments.

You are a conformist, you have nothing but the same tired conformist arguments against Che, Starbucks, Wal-Mart etc.

I am a pretentious twenty something, I also like to swallow my cum while dressed as a common hussy and with clown shoes on, whilst singing my ABC's.

You know if you just order coffee flavoured coffee instead of crazy fraps, caps, and whatever else... starbucks is pretty cheap.

Just don't buy their gourmet food or crazy-named coffee.

How hard is it to go up to a counter and go "1 large coffee"? It's like 2 bucks.

The fact that you guys can name off the different blended coffee/creme's from starbucks tells me you're jackoffs buying the shit that you are complaining about. I don't have to complain about Starbucks having 92348902384092834 dollar coffee because I just go '1 large coffee' "Oh would you like to tr--" 'No thanks, just 1 large coffee'.

My beef with Starbucks is the quality of their coffee; it's absolute shit, their "roast" is more like a "char" than anything.

And Bush has always been a moron, popular or not.

No problem. I know I'm normally caught up in snoopy/spectral/DG thread de-railing, but some threads really upset me when they make no sense and could make lots of sense if it stayed on topic.

But seriously, COFFEE FLAVORED. Don't ask for the roast of the day. Just get "1 large coffee" or medium/small (if you're a wimp). You don't wanna try anything, you just want coffee. Maybe if you kids these days learned to be stubborn about your coffee, instead of whatever bullshit you're into now you'd find good coffee and not fall for "fancy name gourmet coffee" coffee.

starbucks is pretty good coffee. I am not ashamed to admit I go their from time to time and order a large black and white mocha with an extra espresso shot. it costs like 5 bucks.

the local coffeeshopswill do the same drink for abouth the same price.

I cannot make this drink at home I have no espresso machine.

I don't want plain coffee or I would make it at home.

I dont want to hang out with the local hippies at a ocal coffeeshop so I dont go there.

I just want a black and white mocha to go with my blunt, and starbucks has a drive through. so fuck everything else. If I want a real mocha and I want to not go to hippy hell. starbucks is the place; even if it does cost five bucks.

Mocha = coffee + hot chocolate
Espresso = extra strong coffee

You're telling me you can't make this yourself?

not exactly, espresso is a pressure brewed coffee made in an espresso pot, cant just double brew in a perc or somthing.

and mocha is chocolate coffee, yes. but it is not just coffe plus chocolate.

it is steamed milk with espresso and chocolate, it also has 2 types of chocolate because it is black and white and is topped with steamed milk.

but most importantly is the fact that you can not get a decent shot of espresso without an espresso machine; and they aren't cheap.

Uhm expand your posts per page to 40 plz? So you don't look retarded when a new page doesn't show up.

But seriously, why does everyone claim "mega corporation coffee" always tastes burnt. Coffee is meant to be bitter. If you don't like it, don't bitch about it because there are tons of local coffee shops that starbucks hasn't put out of business. And their gourmet blends/specialty coffees are just the latest trend for kids. It doesn't hurt you that other idiots are spending that much money on something.

I work at Starbucks. The Frapuchinno comes in 2 primary forms. Cream and Coffee Based. The Coffee bassed ones are like mocha and pep mocha and caramal. The creme are liek strcwberry , green and chai tea flavor as well as optional caramal and or mocha. Basicaly you can put anything into the cream bassed ones and they are kind of like milkshakes yet different. If you want caffeine though get the coffee bassed ones and most flavors go well in either creme (different taste and caffeine free) or coffe based. They sure can be damn good.

I don't like coffee and their fruity "frappucino double soy chocolate mocha foam latte" drinks are just lame and full of sugar and fat and extra calories. I'd rather blend my own drink at home; it's faster, cheaper, and I don't have to deal with the lame scene/prep/emo/whatever the new trend of the week fad is kids who hang out there who think they are cool cause they have caffienne addictions.

Agreed, frappucino is buff and theres nothing you can say to change that.
