Four Bucks is Stupid…

But so is eating one of these.

Yes McDonald’s is attempting to steal some coffee business from Starbucks. I think most of you will agree…that’s just stupid.

You’re welcome Howard. You can send my residual check

    Maybe a four dollar beverage would cleanse the pallet?

    After eating that shit, only drain cleaner could cleanse the pallet.

    I don’t know, but anyone who eats canned cheese is a moron.

    Zags are up by 30, by the way.

      It stays fresh for decades, kind of like the Zags and Jean-Claude Van Damme!

    Calling a decade of Starbuck’s customers “dumb” is a great way to win any fence-sitters in the espresso market.

      I tend to think of McDonald’s and Starbucks customers as interchangeable…

      But I can barely contain my excitement, as I wait for the new Morgan Spurlock movie about drinking McDonald’s coffee!

    While the customers may be interchangeable, the coffee never was. Now, I’m no huge fan of $tarbuck$ but McD’s coffee was always good enough to clean the battery terminals in our old band bus….

    Hey, I wonder if the new formulation might even taste as good as the stuff that comes out of the machine on the ferry?

    Yes the ferry machine!

    Not only an exercise in taste terrorism…but you never
    know if the boat will make it to shore either!

    I’m such a downer….
