Starbuck's new Honey Lattes: Bleh.

ETA: I can't drink any more of this. I'm chucking about half and making myself some tea.

Yeah, I thought they sounded a bit gross in concept. Honey and coffee are just...not two things I would have ever thought to combine.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2008-02-28 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll usually try their new things, just because I get bored getting a nonfat latte all the time. But...bleh.

*tsks*

You should have known better. Honey is evil.

Trufax.

But honey in tea is good! And tea is sorta like coffee!

Frankly, I thought they sounded disgusting when I got the email. This just reinforces that they are nothing I would ever ever ever order.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
The problem was that picture in the email inspired thoughts of Pooh, and so I *had* to try it.

Hah! You are weak and easily swayed.

In other news, I told hubby today that my friend Michelle had just been diagnosed with breast cancer and he was very concerned for you. "MeRV?" he asked.

"No, the other Michelle. From work," I replied. So he is relieved on your account.

Awwwwww!

I'm sorry about your friend though. :(

[identity profile] diavestra.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
She claims it's "nothing". So let's hope she's right!

[identity profile] sparky-girl82.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
yes, very very ick....tried them before they came out...and ewww! No one in our store will drink them. Though the honey bottles are good for tea.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure who in their testing department would think it was good. The other sweet drinks - while not my taste - are good enough. I even liked that green tea berry thing they had last year. But this...

[identity profile] sparky-girl82.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, I've become a big fan of the skinny lattes, most of the syrups actually taste pretty good (imo) except the sugar-free mocha....tastes like a rancid tootsie roll pop....ugh! so gross!

Starbuck's new Honey Lattes: Bleh.

That just sound gross. I mean tea yes but honey latte? EWwwwwwwwww!

Me = curious cat.

[identity profile] katesutton.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh, I KNOW. I made it about an inch into it and yuck. Honey and coffee are two tastes that don't work.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
No, they really really don't. Blech.

(Although I was willing to try. After all, you'd never think eggnog and coffee could go together.)

[identity profile] tripocket.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Huh...I'm suddenly very glad I gave up coffee for tea a few months ago. Bleckphbttt.

(I see a D/R fic in this somewhere though.)

Yep..that's what I'm talking about!

[identity profile] solielle.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
That's like the time I introduced a friend of mine to Kettle Corn.

"Auugh! Foul! AURGH. That's so disgusting.....I can't stop eating it Blegh!"

[identity profile] solielle.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Aww..... I only drink honey in my coffee. Sugar is just too sweet (I only use about..1/4 a teaspoon? Maybe?). That said the amount of honey/honey flavor I imagine is going into one of those lattes....bluegh.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, this was pretty much HONEY. And they also had some "golden spice" in there. No clue. Whatever it was, it all amounted to ick.

TUESDAY'S TRAINING DAY: ALL FOR NAUGHT.

I'll know if they ever close down Starbucks for a few hours again, it's that they're busy stocking with something icky.

[identity profile] angst-angel.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I just went to the Starbucks site because I had no idea about the Honey Lattes, and they do look kind of interesting. I would never think of putting honey with coffee, though!

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
The pictures inspire Pooh thoughts, right? They're crafty.

[identity profile] burtonworshiper.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Honey belongs in Winnie's honeypot and in my teacup. Not in my coffee. Duh Starbucks. Get it right.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I would agree with you.

[identity profile] ivydoor.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Gag. That sounds bad.

That said, I managed to go to the store and NOT pick up another pack of peppermint dark chocolate frappucinos. I so wanted to though.

I can quit anytime. Really.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Peppermint dark chocolate frappucinos? Oooooh. I love chocolate and mint.

[identity profile] ivydoor.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. What do you think I've been mixing with vodka for the drunken recaps? *eg*

They are pure liquid eeeeeviiillllll.

[identity profile] ivydoor.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
You'll need a cocktail shaker.

Fill it with ice. 1 (ish) large shot vodka, 1 shot kahlua, and one bottle frappacino. It does the job very nicely without tasting alcohol much at all.

Also? Totally OT. My willpower is being tested for the first time. o.0 *clicky finger twitches*

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
OMG. I must try that.

(And I looked! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! I TOTALLY SUCK!!! I WILL NOT DO THAT AGAIN!! *** God, I might need to start reading filters or something.)

*** Reaction in no way relates to the content of said spoilers, but simply in the fact that I suck.

[identity profile] ivydoor.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
YOU'RE NOT HELPING ME RESIST. :P

And yes, you HAVE to try it. And since they say the dark chocolate peppermint frappucino in a limited time thing, I have no idea how long it'll be around. I get a 4-pack at Wally World for $4.

[identity profile] christyj12.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh man. I'm a barrista, and as soon as my coworker Jen and I heard about the honey latte we were both OMG NO!!! D: I haven't tried them yet (I haven't been to work since we started them), but...yeah....

(And I feel utterly no shame in making fun of Starbucks, since I actually work in the cafe of a Barnes and Noble that happens to sell Starbucks drinks. I owe them no loyalty, mwahahahaa..) ;P

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
They were just...ew. They have a really pretty picture on the board, but...ew. I actually felt a bit nauseous for a couple hours after I drank what little I did. :-\

[identity profile] audrich.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't bear Starbucks coffee - I always feel sick half way through :(

*fixes you some Earl Grey tea*

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2008-02-29 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't really like their coffee either. HEH. It's lattes for me.
