Fall at Starbucks
Wow.
It’s Fall.
What?
And can’t believe it’s already that time…
And we all know what happens in the Fall.
Christy gets excited.Yes. Fall is Christy’s favorite season.
Pumpkins, Halloween, Egg Nog, (just kidding…she hates egg nog), and the cool fall weather.BUT.
Even more exciting than Christy getting excited, is FALL AT STARBUCKS.
First off, let’s go to Starbucks.com. It smells of rich mahogany.
Then we’re off to see the new drink/food pairings.
The oatmeal is just an instant deal–they add water to the powder and put a lid on it. 3 minutes later, it’s ready to eat and you get to pick ONE of the following: brown sugar, nuts, or dried fruit. I picked dried fruit, but I think I might have like the brown sugar better. It’s a little bland, BUT on the drink side, the added protein didn’t seem to change the taste of the drink. So kudos on that one.
What they mean by “for a quick energy boost” is “if you want to poop in a hurry, combine these two bombastic items. It’s a guaranteed number 2 in 10 minutes or less”.
Just saying is all.
That berry thing is pretty tasty…and if you can stand the taste of the sugar-free syrups, then go for it. But I can’t. So, no thanks for me.
Also, the Pumkin Spice Latte is back, if you dig it.
HAPPY FALL!

LOL. Quick energy burst = quick bowel burst.
Oatmeal???? Now that’s exciting. I love you, Starbucks.
Is there anything Starbuck’s can’t do? REALLY?
I hate the fact that when I walked through Target the other day I saw Halloween candy. I am irritated by the Thanksgiving decor I’ve seen at stores. BUT for some reason when I walk into a Starbucks and see the sign for the spiced pumpkin latte I let out a great sigh of contentment. All is definitely well in the world! Then as if things can’t get any better…I get to anticipate the start of the Christmas season with the arrival of the Peppermint Mocha.
Do they pay you to post this stuff??
Hey man, that Starbuck’s “Perfect Oatmeal” gots corn on it! If they sprinkle a little straw on top and stir in a little beet pulp you have the complete barnyard meal! My mistake…it’s some sorta dehydrated suck the life out of it fruit.
Thanks for making me laugh on a Friday!
You and your Starbucks addiction . . . nothing has changed.
I go less now…that HAS changed…but I still do love a great company.
This made me laugh
Thanks for the Fall update!
Yeh, Pumpkin Spice Latte – MMM, Yummy, Deeelish!
YES! I love the pumpkin spice latte. That says FALL to me!
