I think it's all Starbucks that suck. One of my in laws is a full blown Starbucks addict and doesn't matter which city we're in if we are with them we have to stop by Starbucks (see them maybe a few times a year) sometimes three or four times a day. It's freaking ridiculous. It all tastes like pure sugar. I usually will just go in with the in law, stand there, then leave.  The in law is surprisingly skinny. Just doesn't eat, just drinks sugary drink after sugary drink for the "pick me up". Ummmm no in law, no,  you are just a sugar addict.
