I need a Starbucks icon...

Soo... I need coffee and I can't decide which flavor I want. We've got a ton to choose from, as well as several different creamer choices, not to mention that there's a Starbucks on almost every literal corner in my city. (We made a stop at the, as Ali put it, "ridiculous" 24/7 Drive-Thru Starbucks at 1:30AM this morning. XD You go to school in NY, Ali; HOW can you think that's weird? XP) This has sparked a curiosity to know what coffee blends and flavors y'all like - and you know how I'm never afraid to ask questions! ;)

Oh, I'm a Breakfast Blend-er. I get this nice stuff from Whole Foods that smells...OHMAN, when you open that bag it's like a little bit of heaven, it smells so nice. Plus it's good and weak :D And you know? I STILL go bouncing off the walls after a full cup. Yeah, I know, it's pathetic and I'm ashamed to admit it. anyway.

The stuff that Mike makes...er...well, I usually fill my mug about a quarter of the way full with it, and then add hot water to the rest ^^;; It's CRAZY strong. He goes through like three bags every two weeks, or something. >.>


(but, you know, when he's drinking coffee, his lips get all warm...so I don't really mind. It's a really nice affect. Just wait till you try it ;D)

Forgot to mention this but I've also switched to decaf. And I try to use the weakest blend of coffee when I make drinks for myself.

*is chuckling* You know what Mike says about decaf? That it's blasphemous. Which is crazy, seeing as he mostly drinks coffee nowadays because he legitimately likes the taste. Weird-o |D

To be honest (and I know, Jacks, what with this quiz that this is going to be blasphemous), I drink more tea than coffee nowadays. Which I hear inhibits your absorbtion of iron. Huh. Anyway.

LOL I drink both like crazy. Guess I'm screwed no matter what. XD

O_O Ugh!! You're making me nauseous! XP

Eww! Weak coffee?? =/

You do know that you control how weak the coffee is by how many spoonfuls you put in there to brew, right? XP

Oh, how I LUUUUUUUUV the smell of coffee! They seriously need to perfect the whole candle thing - Starbucks would make a killing if they'd just invest a little on the side.

Dude. If I didn't have any self control, I'd go through that many too, but not due to strength... XD

(Aww, how sweet. XP Again, I insist that you are more excited about my "future" love life than I am!)

Yeah, weak coffee. I admit I can't take the strong stuff ^^; And I really can't do the cream and sugar thing, I found after awhile. Unless I order them like that? Like I used to be all over the soy latte and mocha thing. Not necessarily pumpkin spice (DUDE. It was ORANGE.) but, you know.

Yes I'm a weakling. I can't handle strong coffee... Actually my cofee is so weak it might as well not even be cofee. After I'm done with the milk and sugar, you would think I'm drinking hot chocolate...

You know how some people drink coffee with nothing in it? Just straight black coffee? I can't do that! Or you have people who get iced cofee... Nope, sorry I'm sticking to an iced mocha or a latte.

And yes it's annoying how they keep changing their minds about what's good and what's not good for you. I swear, they should just release a study and tell us not to eat or drink ANYTHING!
