I hate coffee so that would not be one of my complaints.

You hate coffee and I hate tea. Has it ever crossed your mind that you and I might have been born on the wrong side of the pond?

You know you're getting old when you think foamy coffee is ridiculous and are perfectly satisfied with a cup of Instant Sanka.

I like the foamy coffee on occassion. But I'm not obsessive about it. I'm a Maxwell House man...good to the last drop, it is.

There are people on the planet who don't have access to clean drinking water, and we Americans whine and moan if there's too much foam in our $5 cup of coffee. :eusa_doh:

Maybe you should start a thread: "First world gripes!"

I hate coffee I hate tea,
I hate you and you hate me.

Quite a difference from 1940.

I usually get a hot chocolate when dragged to a Starbucks. Coffee is usually, to me, a morning drink. I drink fresh ground (half high octane beans, half decaf beans) at home, black. Odd thing is, I never even drank the stuff until I was out of school and into my career, age 27. If I had to pull an all nighter when I was studying for a final, I'd steep 4-5 bags of Irish Breakfast Tea per cup : that'd keep my eyeballs open for hours.

When I think of Sanka, I think of those old commercials that Robert Young used to do.

Probably one of their best:

I absolutely live on coffee.
and Starbucks is just a ten minute walk from my house

I love to smell coffee, but drinking it is like playing a blowtorch up and down my digestive tract. I drink plain Red Rose tea, steeped in the cup for at least fifteen minutes, and consumed in a single gulp. Fancy tea annoys me.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

I enjoy a good cup of black coffee in the morning.
Tea is not for me...unless it is sweet and has ice cubes in it...

Holy Crimony! That was the most whining I have ever heard in two minutes. lol lol

 

[LizzieMaine]

Imagine if the coffee she was selling *wasn't* decaffeinated.

 

[Zombie_61]

...We have the occasional patron at work who complains that we don't sell foamy five-dollar cups of coffee and they don't like the plain stuff and it's ruining their evening. It's all I can do to keep from laughing in their faces.

Send 'em to southern California. Every movie theater I can think of has at least one "five-dollar foamy coffee" shop within walking distance.

On second thought, don't.

Maybe you should start a thread: "First world gripes!"

What, and confirm for the rest of the world that we 'Muricans are indeed a bunch of whiny, self-centered mouth-breathers? :rant: :nono:

I don't drink coffee unless there is nothing else to drink, or I am freezing! I do like hot tea though. Maybe, my Dad picked up some virus when he was over there in the war?

The only time I have ever been in a Starbucks was with my sister last year, she bought me a hot coco! It was actually pretty good, but, not good enough for me to pay.

The coffee may not be any good, but I guarantee if you are old enough, this sound will bring back a flood of memories! [video=youtube;fn3AIJWhzEk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn3AIJWhzEk[/video]

The Tea Virus. It struck whereever they had colonies.
