Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for December 19, 2023

Ridiculosio!!!

At first I stopped Stabucks because of the cost. Now I am intimidated by the coded language. That and the blue hair and nose rings.

Can you even get a sip of coffee from the MICROSCOPICO?

And leave room for cream.

“Venti is twenty. Large is large. In fact, tall is large and grande is Spanish for large. Venti is the only one that doesn’t mean large. It’s also the only one that’s Italian. Congratulations, you’re stupid in three languages.” Danny in Role Models

It’s bad enough that I had to learn a foreign language to order in a Mexican restaurant, but for coffee?

I brew it up by the gallon. My wife and I have an industrial style coffee maker.

By definition, that’s not microscopic. It can be easily seen without a microscope. /pedant

High priced coffee for coffee snobs. McDonalds is better but that doesn’t display the image of being refined and well to do.

I’m not sure why there’s so much animosity towards Starbucks; if you don’t like it, go elsewhere. Obviously many people do like it, we all have different tastes. I don’t go to Starbucks or any other coffee shop… I don’t like coffee.

I avoid Starbucks on general principles. I prefer Tim Horton’s.

This is why I can’t live in Italy

You labelled that wrong. In Starbucks, it’s called Stupendouso.

so sad…

I will drink anything that is labelled coffee…black, even if sitting for days, microwave it and voila! not a starbucks enthusiast, but I do have a gold card, mostly filled by gift cards, and transferred for the points…

Caffeindish cartoon today.

Ha! Just a drop on an sugar cube should do it.

wouldn’t it be funny if in Italy, they used “small”, “medium”, and “large”??

“I’d like a double decaf microscopico – no cup. Just put it in the palm of my hand. Here’s $10.”

Magnify take a look?

T= add to the national debt, V= there isn’t that much money, G= ludicrously expensive, M= slightly more pricey than most people can afford.

You left out “Short” between Grande and Microscopico.

Typical. Cal te second from right "very great instead of small
