Starbucks Woes Continued…THE REASON
- Posted by Howard

It’s the damn Dunkin’ Donut knockoff cups. Thanks FLY for your amazing field research (excerpt below).
I just got back from Dunkin’ Donuts and “The Fly” is quite pleased. I ordered that new pumpkin latte shit (I tell people it’s hot hot black coffee); and much to my surprise, the Dunkin’ fucker served it in a “Starbucks-like” cup.
This, as you know, will enable “The Fly” to keep his Dunkin’ coffee (cup and all), without fear of being mistaken as poor (poor people are rumored to like Dunkin’ Donuts coffee).
The best coffee play would have been to buy Wallstripped Green Mountain Coffee (GMCR) . May still be.
Coffee is an American staple and there is more truth to what the FLY is saying than you think. Scared but holding.
