Starbucks VIA and the economy.

888 · 03-24-2009, 07:54 PM

I see Starbuks is selling its VIA instant coffee for $9.95 for 12 servings. People love it so much that they temporarily ran out of stock.

Obviously this media hype about a bad economy is pure propaganda!

I tried some of it and must say I prefer my Nescafe.

Anyone here remember the FREE Starbucks promotion for a FREE frappincino? You just had to print a coupon for a free drink. That was the last time I was there. Pretty hilarious as the only thing you'd have to waste for a free Frappincino was INK was your printer and a piece of paper.

I really hate Starbucks because their products are seriously overpriced. Starbucks has less cred than McDonald's now.

Well, maybe the rationale is that going instant coffee is more affordable than buying a $4 drink from Starbucks each morning.

I don't think our economy is directly related (influenced) by Starbucks... I don't believe there is a direct correlation. Don't you know? America runs on Dunkin'
