What should My free Starbucks drink be?

    Today is special cause it's the day of the year Overheal remembers he's about as old as Megaman. To that occasion Starbucks emailed me one of those delightful coupons for one free whatever-fits-in-a-container-latte-macchiato. Normally every year I just hammer a frappuccino with an ungodly number of espresso shots in it but I've also heard of people ordering entire bucket sized drinks they take home and put in the fridge and absorb through a catheter or something. So this year I was kinda wondering what other people's thoughts were on what I should order instead of the usual.

    Something that you'd never buy but have never actually tried before.

    Jameson.

    A beverage that actually tastes like real coffee & not flavoured hot water would be good.

    Diet coke

    The outcome of this order is going to lead to a post on Ranting and Raving one way or another :D

    But they don't sell what you suggested at Starbucks, so there's no point in him ordering it.

    Hazelnut Americano, black.

    Venti Peppermint Mocha. However get only two pumps of mocha instead of the five they would normally put into a venti.

    I dunno what it should be, but it could be anything by the time you get it. Every time I think I find a drink I like in there, another staff member or branch somehow manage to make a totally different tasting drink.

    I actually thought the same thing earlier, now that they've introduced ordering from the app, you don't in theory need to include human interaction in your transaction at all anymore, just tap your screen and wait at the end of the counter.

    Ask for coffee with fresh cream.. watch them lose their shit.

    and of course we aren't forgetting their horrible business practices of forcing the price of beans up to strangle independent cafes, cornering markets and massive tax evasion schemes. :pac:
