Hooked

I love coffee.
But in general I am not a big Starbucks fan although there seems to be a shop at every corner these days. I find them overpriced and actually like the taste of Tim Horton's coffee way better.
But I love to try new things and now that Starbucks has launched their new However-you-want-it - Frappucchino incentive I find myself at a Starbucks location every day.
But only between 3pm and 5pm, cause that is when they sell Frappuchinos for half price until May 16th. LOL (Yes, I am a sucker for deals.)
It is a great offer so I am currently "investigating" the different flavors available.

So far I have tried:

Cafe Vanilla
Caramel
Java Chip

My favorite is still the Caramel, which Markus and I used to get as a treat at the Starbucks 20 miles away!
(Yes, things are or at least were different in Germany..)

The entire incentive has just one purpose of course: They want to get you hooked.
It is not like as if there weren't crazy lineups already in the morning when people need to get their fix before work, but now they are also trying to turn on those people who are not so much into their hot coffees.
Too bad is not going to work with me. I am too cheap to spend $4+ each day on an iced coffee.
Even if it has a fancy name: "Ok, she wants a Skinny Java Chip Single Shot Frappucchino"
Well, maybe if she would put my name on it. I'd love to be Susan on Monday, Megan on Tuesday, Ally on Wednesday, ... You get my point. But they don't do that here. (Another reason to move to the US perhaps? ;-))
But I might get one once a week.. during summer time at least.

Oh crap, does that mean they have succeeded with their evil plan and got me at least seasonally hooked? :-P
