Starbucks London Fog is a tea drink thats made of tea brewed from a bag of fancy longleaf earl grey and steamed milk. Its pretty good, but it certainly isn't $2 more good than putting half and half into a regular starbucks earl grey tea, which is what I normally do. In fact, it tasted pretty much exactly the same, so next time I will get the usual and keep my $2 to buy some cookies.Rating: 75%

PS - Sorry about that lame picture. I'm too lazy to look for a better one.
The thing I like most about Starbucks is that they carry a temptation quotient of near zero--all of their offerings are easy to resist. Except, perhaps, their date squares. Sure these cost $5 for a 2X2 inch piece but they aren't half bad.
ReplyDeleteDoes that guy still sell DNH cookies or was he shamed enough that he dropped them?

ReplyDeleteNope. I like Starbucks and rap. Haven't had London Fog, though. Their green tea is pretty pedestrian.
ReplyDelete@anon: I dunno, but if I ever find myself in the W. Village I'll swing by and see if he still sells them.
ReplyDelete@1st anon: Their treats got a hell of a lot more resistible after Bloomberg made them start putting the calories right on the display case. That rice crispy treat looks a lot less tasty with a giant 410 slapped on it. My flat stomach thanks you Mikey B!
What, you count calories?
ReplyDeleteAren't you the I-celebrated-the-crucifixion-of-Jesus-by-eating-a-bag-of-sour-Jelly-Bellys lady?
Not that being inconsistent is bad for you.
I count calories like a mad woman, but you know, sometimes you just need to eat a bag of candy. I think Jesus would approve.
