slo's WEDNESDAY 2/26 poll - Starbucks Discontinuing Drinks

[slo]

I saw an article yesterday about how Starbucks is removing over a dozen drinks from its menu next week. I'm sure some people are not going to be happy about this. By me….there are so many coffee places around that Starbucks is not anywhere near as popular as it used to be. Don’t get me wrong, there are always people in the drive through, but the line isn’t 15 cars deep like it used to be. If it’s like this in many other places, I can see why Starbucks is discontinuing drinks. I provided the list of drinks below



After looking at the list above , give us your thoughts on this......

Have you had any of the drinks on the Starbucks drink list provided?
If yes, was it a regular drink for you?
Which one(s) are you sad to see go?
(multiple choice)


For Me.......I haven't had any of the drinks on the list. I literally have Starbucks once a year, and it's on Thanksgiving morning and it's always a pumpkin frappachino. My DD21 is a big Starbucks lover - I need to ask her if she had any on the list. I’m going to bet she hasn’t, because she enjoys their fruity drinks and their medicine ball tea (I like that too, but I never think to buy it).

I have never been to a starbucks. Hearing the cost of drinks, I figured that payed for at least a few of my disney trips.

I've also never had any beyond "normal" coffee at dunkin. But haven't had coffee from dunkin in years either.

I rarely go to Starbucks as it's not convenient, but when I do, I usually get just coffee. I am not a fan of "sweet" in my coffee, although I will occasionally get a latte (usually plain, although occasionally with caramel). My sister goes to S'bucks every day, sometimes twice; when I am visiting her is when I go to Starbucks.

I usually only go to Starbucks as a treat if my daughter and I go out for the day shopping, lunch etc., so maybe once a month. None of these were her "go to" drink and I don't drink coffee and only get their refreshers. So, phew, we are safe for our treat days!

I only go to Starbucks in Disney parks.....I have free Starbucks "money" from doing surveys and I can get DH a Coke product in the parks and then it is free. I get the plain black ice tea.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I never go to Starbucks. The coffee is too strong for me. And I am opposed to the way they hook teens on caffeine with their milkshake-like drinks.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I haven't had any of the drink on that list. I don't do Starbucks a lot, usually just when I have a GC. I usually do Starbucks in the fall for pumpkin spice.

I will miss the Expresso Frappuccino. Most of the Frappuccino barely have any coffee taste, this one had a lot.

 

[Kitty 34]

I don't go to Starbucks

There isn’t much use for Starbucks in my life since I’m really a tea drinker and I don’t drink it sugared in general.

Only did the coffee thing during workplace meetings and when the man and I went camping as I hadn’t the energy to set up two hot beverage stations. We’d just boil some water and use whatever Starbucks instant coffee the man liked.
Until he went the decaffeinated route and I went for a cup of hot water; wild horses couldn’t get me to drink Sanka .

So upshot is the forthcoming Starbucks shutdown doesn’t affect me.

The only time I go to Starbucks is when I am at Disney and I may get one if I get breakfast in the morning or I get one in the afternoon I get the same coffee every time a café mocha iced no whip so no I’ve not tried any of those

 

[LoveDaisy]

I’m not a Starbucks fan so this doesn’t impact me. I drive past a Starbucks next to a DD and line is always longer at DD but I live in New England.

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I might get starbucks once or twice a year, usually when traveling, and usually just a black decaf. I sometimes want to get one of the mocha frappuccinos, but when I think how many calories they are, I usually end up getting just plain coffee. I think the last time I had one was maybe 3-4 years ago. I've got about 5 starbucks gift cards in my wallet too, I just go there so seldom.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I don't go to Starbuck's. Overpriced and over hyped, IMO. I have WaWa. Much better coffee blends available.

 

[loves to dive]

Another non Starbucks person. I only drink hot coffee, not an iced coffee drinker. I also only drink either black, latte or cappuccino (i.e. expresso with milk). The regular non-iced coffee at Starbucks is so strong it always tastes like coffee at Waffle House that has been on the burner about 3 hours too long to me.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I have Starbucks a few, maybe 3, times a month. None of those drinks.

 

[ronandannette]

Nope, not a one. I don’t drink frou frou coffee or tea drinks ever and I rarely go to Starbucks. If someone insists on meeting there I have a light roast black coffee or plain green tea over ice. I couldn’t care less what else is or isn’t on the menu. The odd Starbucks gift card I receive is immediately re-gifted to someone who can enjoy it.

 

[CynBeth]

I rarely go to a Starbucks maybe once in a while on a vacation when we are in an airport or walking around a city needing a snack and drink.

 

[AppleDumpling]

I don’t like coffee, never drink it, never go to Starbucks.
