re: Turkey, Cranberries, Pumpkin Pie, and Thanksgiving Blend

@camspi — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:22:28 GMT

I just had some a french press of Thanksgiving Blend and pumpkin pie. So good together! Thanksgiving Blend SMELLS sweet and spicy like pumpkin pie. but as I was drinking it, I imagined what it would be like with turkey. It's pretty roasty, which I think would taste delicious with turkey. I cannot wait to pack my french press and pound of Thanksgiving Blend to take to my Grandma's this year.

I say excellent job Starbucks on creating the new drink it is Awsome. I kind of want to say if you have not had a Brulee as a desert at resturant then you will probally not like the caramel Brulee latte, but if you had brulee before then you will like this drink..

Crème brûlée (crème brulée in L'Orthographie 1990)[1] (French for "burnt cream"; pronounced /ˌkrɛm bruːˈleɪ/ in English, [kʁɛm bʁyˈle] in French), burnt cream, crema catalana, or Trinity cream is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a contrasting layer of hard caramel. It is served cold, or with the custard cold and the caramel warm.

The custard base is normally flavoured with vanilla, but it can have one of several other flavours: lemon (zest), rosemary, chocolate, a liqueur, fruit, etc.

Ditto to everyone who has voiced their disappointment before me. As a current gold card member, I have no problem paying a $25 fee once a year, because I will easily recoup it during the year using my 10% off discount. Those who are complaining about the fee are obviously not using it enough to begin with. Give them the free drinks - let me keep my 10% discount!

That's right Kristal Starbucks does in fact think we are all a bunch of fools and idiots and that is why, like I said in my post above, after the new year I plan to buy 1 cookie or other inexpensive item a day for 15 days or 3 cookies a day or other inexpensive items (different transactions of course) for 5 days then for my free drink get the most expensive one known to man. I sort of hate to take advantage of a corporate giant like that but they made the rules.

Why do I feel that Terry and his peers at corporate take us for fools? Their marketing campaign for this new and improved program was condescending at best and his response to the complaints on this site about the loss of the Gold Card program is insulting to boot. The only explanation that I can determine as to the reasons behind this approach to this situation is that Terry and the rest of SBUX corporate presume their customers are nothing but idiots who will take our so-called free 15th drink with a smile and thank SBUX for their generosity and devotion to their most loyal customers.

Unless this policy is changed or the platinum suggestion is adopted, I am also done with SBUX in the New Year. I will go to a local coffee shop and support a local business owner. Thanks to the above posters for making such eloquent arguments.

These Cold Cups are hotter than hot cakes! I spoke with Sarah and another shipment of cups will be coming to stores soon.
