What is this blog?

This blog is (as stated in the URL, and the title) about reviews of stuff. We'll check some stuff out and write about it. In all honesty though, most of this will be bitching about stuff.

Monday morning coffee

On my way into work late today, I decided to take the risk of getting a coffee from the McDonalds® drive-thru. Now I am not generally a picky person, but what I ordered and what I received were polar opposites of each other. Now, forgive me for expecting anyone at a McDonalds® to give me what I originally asked for, but out of this I did conceive an idea for a totally new way to drink coffee. It's called the "McSkittles Coffee". The recipe for this is as follows:

Step 1, go to a McDonalds® drive-thru and order a "large coffee with extra cream and sugar".
Step 2, proceed to pay for and receive your coffee.
Step 3, drive to work.
Step 4, open your coffee to discover it was served to you black.
Step 5, scrounge your office and coworkers offices for any form of creamer, sugar, or normal condiments used to make McDonalds® coffee drinkable.
Step 6, do not find anything and resort to dumping a handful of skittles you got from the candy machine into your coffee.
Step 7, stir and enjoy (read: take a sip and throw away).

First of all, I commend you on being brave enough to want to try McTerrible's coffee...even if you had received the cream & sugar, it most likely would have tasted like "McSkittles Coffee" anyway. I guess I'm sort of a coffee snob, because I only drink Starbucks®. I've tried coffee from other establishments...Dunkin' Donuts®, McTerribles®, Seattle's Best®, etc. but none of them have the taste, flavour, or boldness of Starbucks®. One word of advice, if you're ever in Washington DC, don't go to the Starbucks® directly outside the front gate of the National Zoo...I gave them chance after chance to deliver a quality product and service and they disappointed every time.

in response to Glen and the post in general. I agree. To be honest i'm actually surprised you even got a coffee from them. Generally i order a burger and get chicken nuggets, or i order nuggets and get a fish sandwich. So in reality you got lucky.
And Glen while i do agree with you that starbucks is superior as far as chain coffee places go, i do believe that they are over priced(by a lot) as well as inferior to most local coffee shops. But yeah, as far as chain places go, starbucks is the best assuming you've got $5ish to spend on coffee.
