jfwilder3 That someone can compare a burger joint's coffee to someone who specializes in coffee is dumb in itself. This is aimed at the simple-minded people who drink Phillips vodka, drive a Yugo, eat dollar-menu crap, wear Gap clothing, and drink Shlitz Light beer.
Small minds can't conceptualize that there are distinct differences from crap versus good stuff (which Starbucks still isn't, but there are great coffees from independent coffee houses that is much better). Why don't we hear the cheapo beer company go after the imports or micro-brewer beers...isn't it all Budweiser anyway? Isn't MD 2020 as good as Kendall Jackson cabernet or Chateau LaFiet 1964? (sorry if my spelling was bad on that wine).
I hearby coin the word "McSpresso" and take all claim for any further usage of it...effective today 12/12/08.
I really hate McDonalds and the fat people they created.

Starbucks won’t slug it out in ad wars: Coffee chain says it’ll take high road
By ANDREA JAMES - (Seattle PI)
McDonald’s has erected a billboard in sight of Starbucks headquarters declaring, “four bucks is dumb.”
If Dunkin’ Donuts’ taste test commercials were the schoolyard equivalent of blowing spitballs at the coffee giant from afar, then the latest from McDonald’s is like pulling a wedgie. Starbucks employees driving northbound can see the billboard on their way into the city.
