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

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!!"


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.
