For any of you out there. Just heard on NPR that Starbucks in Seattle are piloting a scheme of 1 dollar coffee, undercutting Maccy's and Dunkin D's. 8oz cup for one buck and free refills. This is Silly Sod bringing you the breaking news ha ha

EDIT: In fact, perhaps this could be merged with the thread in TIO which is also about coffee I have just noticed.

Morning Silly! It's good to see you out an about on the forum. Anyway, your post is making me crave some iced coffee to slam this morning. One dollar coffee eh? Man that sounds good. Thanks for keepin' us posted.

bu99er that its only being trilled up in Seattle though

America runs on Dunkin.

shame their doughnuts are crap....

Makes me wanna snag some Krispy Kremes.

hell yes....gods own ambrosia...with a side trip to paradise...

Can you tell I adore Krispy Kremes....

Hell, you're in the state where they were first made. I'm gonna snag some after work.

I know thats the worst part about it.....I must resist temptation.....

yew



they are twice as minging as Dunkin nonuts

I'm with you there, mate. Give me an ordinary yeast-raised donut from a hole-in-the-wall shop any day. As the kids might say, KK is teh suxx0r!

Hello Uga me old chum Yes, I am out and about again. Not managed to get around to the steps you advised in the lab yet You are right, I may not be man enough for all that lol. That said we had a nasty malware pop up this morning when logging onto my space, so I may have to

Anyhoo, get yourself to seattle for coffee lol. I would imagine it will take off nationwide before long. My (perhaps twisted) logic being thus: People who can afford the silly prices at Starbucks will not lower themselves to drink the dollar a cup stuff, and so sales will not be affected in that respect. However, people who cannot afford to go there but would love the imagined status of being able to afford to go there will flock to the place. If that makes any sense?

Of course what do I know, I am a tea man myself (real tea I mean, hot, with milk and sugar, not that nasty ice cold stuff that you americans call tea!!)

With you on that one Paul. My bud in Alabamastan loves KK's (not the KKK I must add so that we are all clrear on that point lol). I can't stand them. Give me a big jar of pickled onions anyday!!!!

Very much deserving of karma
