Yeah.

What he said.

Besides, it's a well-established fact that the only proper hot caffeinated beverage is tea!

Oh. And MaggieL's right about the arabic numeral thing.

Shit...what the fuck was I thinking? And here I had all the answers...or so I thought. Thank God I've got Hubris Boy kicking the science to me.

(That reminds me...I forgot to have my green tea today...the whole stress behind moving cubicles threw me off.)

What about a Hot Jolt Toddy? :-)
Has anyone on-list ever had Bawls? (which is *not* served hot, even by Arabs).

No points...that was a slow-pitch setup. :-)

So whose were they? :-)

FACT
Good, strong, fresh coffee is hard to find when traveling the continental US. Most you find in the small-town midwest diners, restaurants, or cafes is so weak, and old, sitting on a burner for hours. Then there is the whole cream issue. Not powder, not vanilla-hazelnut-coffeemate, not non-dairy polymers, but real dairy can be scarce even in Wisconsin- I need me my 1/2 and 1/2.

Starbucks has risen because they have a good product. I regularly get my coffee on the inside, but when traveling, I will patronize Starbucks or any venue I know has a good dark roast at a reasonable price. I do, however, demand to refer to the cup sizes as small, medium, and large, fer godsakes.

I think the Starbucks juggernaut has actually kick-started the creation of more local coffee houses, drive -thru java huts, and cafes, each with more unique creative spins.
