Christmas shopping and starbeetus I was at a chain book store over the weekend doing a little Christmas shopping. Book store has a Starbeetus attached to it, and as I made my purchase they gave me a 2 for 1 coupon for the Starbeetus. Awesome, two Americanos for the price of one for myself and my partner. So we head over and while in line notice the coupon is for "festive" drinks only. So I wonder aloud, what counts as a "festive" drink. Fatty in front of me points out gleefully to the calorie bombs pictured in an ad: whipped cream, topping, probably some sugary syrup. Coupon is for grande only, of course. Instinctively the thing that blurts out of my mouth is "Ew, I don't want that sugary crap!" Well, beetus barge's face instantly dropped. I loved hearing her order after that - she got the full fat frap for her mayo child, but all the non-fat, no-whip, aspartame syrup version for herself. I'm sure it tasted completely miserable hahaha. Personally I gave up on the coupon and enjoyed my black Americano as per usual.
