Remember when I went to 11 Caribou Coffees in one day? I just learned that I have been solidly trounced in this behavior. This guy took on Starbucks in Manhattan — check out this video, turn down the volume first, the 'opening riff' is a little jarring, but the video is pretty funny.
I wonder what kind of mind would conceive of this kind of challenge? It has to be a Ripley’s believe it or not record, one which I think I’d pass on. Me? I’m a ‘bucks person, not because it’s superior to Caribou but I like the “regulars” who are loyal patrons.
First of all, he didn’t finish all of his purchases. Secondly, that’s a lot of money to spend; about the price of a nice Speedlight. Third, well, I don’t have a third, just sounds like I should mention third.
It’s the ‘Bou for me all the way! Now you have me thinking about a ‘Bou Challenge; a small drink and a photo of the shop as you have done. Better yet, try to order everything on their menu board in order. Oh, I’m excited now for this caffeinated blitz!
Seems like a perfect idea for us caffeine fiends of foolish proportions.
Dear Mitch,
I am at the Copy Shop, which is, as always full of papers, machines, family and me….only thing missing is you! How are you? The picture on your Blog (of you) is great… I have been living in Florida for the past six months. I HOPE you can take a few days, weeks, etc. off and spend some time in the sun. There are beautiful things to photograph, including the ocean (about an hour and a half away from where we live. I live in a place called The Villages which is a Disney World for adults. Everything is beautiful, but, as in The Stepford Wives, unreal. An interesting concept. Everyone is waiting for me to go to Marina Gardens, so I will say Bye for now, but I REALLY wwant to keep in touch. Love, Love Love, Lynne

I switch between the two, but am a full-blown Caribou regular, in fact I’m there right now.

171 Starbucks?! What a feat!

I thought the 11 Caribou Coffees was insane….
Talk about a headache coming down off that caffeine high.
