I went to the Zurich show today and set a personal record!

I paid the equivalent of $4.86 for a tall Starbuck's coffee. No, not the fancy stuff. Just coffee. Good news is that it made all of the coins seem real cheap by comparison.

    Well a coin is just a coin.

    But a Starbuck's is a cuppa overly introduced, over priced, mediocre coffee image
    No,no- the kids and the cat are all right honey.
    It's just that I got my PCGS grades.

    Not a coffee drinker -- what would it have cost you back home?

    About $1.77, including tax.

    Maybe they should re-brand it StarEuros, "Where you can spurt Euros from your jugular!!" image


    So, what were some 'not so cheap' coins?

    Buy a cup of coffee at a gas station over there, the prices are even worse.

    Peets coffee is much better in my opinion, but lately even it has started tasting acrid...

    I just got back from the Altitude Chamber (USAF fighter pilot refresher)
    and part of the academics includes eating habits and caffeine. Here's what I found out:

    Mountain Dew - 54 mg

    JOLT - 230 mg

    Starbucks - 550 mg of caffeine. HIGHEST ON THE LIST

    Gotta love those $5 legal stimulants!

    I'm not sure about a Starbuck's coffee in the Larnaca (Cyprus) airport I just flew from (although I think there was a Starbuck's there)
    but I did buy a Häagen-Dazs ice cream which consisted of three scoops for £6.95 (Cyp pounds) equates to $17.65 USD!

    It was rather hot at the airport.
