editor Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Up until this point I thought you were joking... Let me put it this way: I arrived at Starbucks at 6:30 this morning. It's now 1:34. I have lost count of the number of white chocolate mochas I've consumed. I'm a little hyper. Blame the coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirzania Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 It's now 1:34. I really, really wish it was 4.34. I have lost count of the number of white chocolate mochas I've consumed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Good God, man. Do you know how calories are in a white mocha?? For your sake, I hope you didn't get it with whipped cream and, if it was a grande, 3 pumps instead of 4. (Mentioning "whipped cream" in the same thread that contains pictures of a swimsuit model is quite possibly a bad idea at this point.) You should've just gone all out and done breve.

editor Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm familiar with Vente, Grande, Tall, and the hidden-behind-the-counter Short. What's a Breve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirzania Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm familiar with Vente, Grande, Tall, and the hidden-behind-the-counter Short. What's a Breve?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Breve: Made with Half-and-Half. From what I understand, different regions have different names for different milk combinations. For all I know, in Chicago, to order a drink made with half-and-half, you probably say, "And I'd like that heart-attack style, please."

editor Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 When I feel like being a jerk I'll order a "Vente hazlenut organic extra whip white chocolate mocha in a for-here cup." Now I've got to figure out how to work "Breve" into that.Reminds me of the cheesecake shakes at Katz's on Westheimer: "It's a heart attack in a glass!"

Did someone teach you the call or did you figure it out from the boxes on the side of the cup in what order to say it? It would be "Vente, Hazlenut, Breve, Extra Whip, White Mocha" (Or V, H, B, XWC, WM if you would like to be technical.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedScare Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Which one are you at, Kirz, so we can all come torment you with freaky orders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirzania Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Which one are you at, Kirz, so we can all come torment you with freaky orders? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was over on Mason Rd. I'm gone now, though. Being dragged mercilessly back to My Olde Kentucky Home. And sorry, Red, but nothing beats "Vente, Breve, 8 Splenda, No Foam, No Water Chai Latte." There's also "Vente, 6 pump Vanilla, Nonfat, 3 Sweet'N'Low Latte." Of course, I could keep this up all day. It's the really complex orders that are easy to remember.

There was a helpful pamphlet in the store once and you could mark off different options to help you assemble an order. Until you got your confidence up it suggested you show the completed brochure to the barista. There was even a handy tear-out cheat sheet in the back.

Although we tended to be more selective and handed them out to people who would pull up directly to our drive-thru window (naturally, during peak hours, cutting everyone else off) who had 1) never been to Starbucks before and 2) never been through a drive-thru before. Lexington sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 How come they don't offer the option of which brand of water is used to brew your coffee? Here's the options I want to hear: "So you wanna cuppa kawffee or dontcha? I don't got all day." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
