Saw that Coffee-mate has a new liquid creamer, Honey Vanilla Creme.
Sweet vanilla flavor and the delicate taste of golden honey blend to create a rich, creamy treat in your coffee.Enjoy it steamy hot or over ice for a delightful beverage on a warm day.
Sounds yummy. Now to find this creamer for hot Hawaii days…
Does Starbucks have a new lid for its hot drinks? This one looks more plasticy. And still not recyclable in Hawaii (it’s a number 6).
Seattle’s Best Coffee is popping up all over the place, and it isn’t by accident. Sure, sure Starbucks owns the red-logoed coffee chain, and now SBUX capitalizing on the SBC brand.
Heck, Seattle’s Best Coffee even has its own ninja force who ransacked Starbucks HQ.
Do you have your Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf shirt “Where you BEAN?”
When you wear this $17 shirt into Coffee Bean locations on Wednesdays, you’ll receive special offers like free drinks, double stamps, and more.
Interesting idea for a promotion, but I’m not sure I’d participate. Sorry, too lazy to change my clothes before/after work for these specials.
Then check out this informative and fun poster 15(ish) Thing Worth Knowing About Coffee. Did you know about the Bean Belt?
Those clear insulated tumblers that Starbucks is selling are called “To-Go Cold Cup Tumblers.” These are now available online at the StarbucksStore at the same in-store price.
But… these cups aren’t regionally personalized like the Aloha from Hawaii versions.
Whatever the reason Steve Consalvi had for running out on the field during a Phillies game and whether or not the use of a taser was excessive, I’m not judging. But to remember this event, I designed a Frappuccino that looks like this.
I started with a Green Tea Frappuccino base to match the grassy outfield of Citizens Bank Park where Steve made his run. Then I adorned the image with thoughts, reactions, emotions, and feelings of the fans as Steve was tased into submission.
It’s official. Starbucks has announced their customizable Frappuccino blended drinks where you can get one however you want it. To see what customizable options there are, go to Frappuccino.com and design your dream drink. You can then share your creation with the Frap community. Even better, you can sample your custom drink for half price during Happy Hour which goes from May 7-16 from 3 to 5 pm.
So this clear insulated tumbler is quite popular on the mainland. Local Starbucks are stocked but not so on the mainland. On the backside of this cup, it says “Aloha from Hawaii.”
And yes, these tumblers are showing up on eBay.
Wait, the Starbucks Frappuccino blended drink is 15 years old? Okay, now that I got that out of my system, this teenaged drink is going through puberty this summer, changing its look and composition. Starbucks is finally letting its customers customize their Frap drinks to help resuscitate this popular hot weather drink.
With the However-you-want-it-Frappuccino, your choice now extends from 7 to choke, and yes, even lower fat fraps are now doable. Personally, I’d like the low cost Frap, but that’s another story since the vanity drinks will incur extra costs. But I am not a Frap drinker anyways which Starbucks confirms saying their target audience is a woman 18 to 24 “who is used to customizing every aspect of her life.” Though if there are exotic, out-there custom Frap options, I might have to channel my inner Justin Bieber and get a Frap how I want it starting on May 4.
Is Starbucks coffee from Kapolei cheaper than other Hawaii locations? Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention, but I didn’t think a grande iced coffee was just over 2 bucks. I thought it was like around $2.40?
This was from the oasis Starbucks in Target Kapolei so not sure if that matters. Sadly, this location doesn’t participate in the My Starbucks Rewards program.
