Melinda, nobody cares if you butt in over here. Thanks for your opinion. I guess I am way outnumbered so far on the soda issue. At least I haven't offended members of any specific religion, or the residents of an entire state yet with my minority view, however!! What kind of coffee is your favorite? I must say I like Frappachinos much more than I thought I would. Has anyone tried Starbucks new specialty drink made with some sort of exotic tea? I am curious, but out of solidarity with the local boycott, I haven't actually tried one. I guess it's unethical to double park and send my daughter in for one. Sort of like not buying table grapes in the seventies, but scarfing down fruit cocktail instead, which is full of California grapes. I think I am getting pretty drifty here--sorry. I think sometimes I live in politically correct hell. It has obviously done something strange to my mind. Are you aware of that specialty coffee that some people at SI talk about continually, the one that is eaten by some sort of rodent, I recall, who expels the whole coffee bean, which is then sold at astronomically high prices? Isn't it $175 a pound or something?
