What, grownups can't drink chocolate milk? If that's wrong I don't want to be right.

Mostly I agree with you. Good coffee doesn't need any adornments to be delicious. I will however drink an iced thai coffee when I get the chance. Tons of cream, and some extra spices like cardamom to add some flavor. Cold coffee does need a little help.

Wait, I thought we already had a beverage thread. :lol:
Yes, clearly this discussion should be moved to the pizza condiments thread. :lol:

I wish I could drink coffee and espresso like I used to, but it makes me so very irritable, and then I crash.

Cardamom on an iced Thai coffee sounds delicious. But holy Toledo, Cardamom is so expensive that unless you make the coffee yourself I bet it is a Cardamom blend they use at chains. It's not saffron expensive, but it is one of the most expensive spices on the market. Cardamom biscotti is straight dope, so try it if you haven't already.

Everyone who's talking about the hilarious price of designer coffee has never lived in Seattle. The people here go into anaphylactic shock if they don't have their special 5 adjective coffee in the morning.

One of my favorite tastes and smells is a true macchiato, but caffeine and I don't get along. And if anyone here likes espresso, try a true macchiato, I bet you'll be hooked.

Hmm. So, because the movie companies decided they needed to be making more money off of internet viewers, internet viewers cease paying at all rather than pay a higher price. Not the result the movie companies wanted, I'll wager.

Most people's bills will be going up $6. Lots of people pay $3 for a fancy coffee drink. I don't, but lots of people do.

I really don't see what he said that was assholish. Honestly, I don't believe there is any way that Netflix could have continued to provide the content they were providing without going up in price.

Well if you are a jobless college student who's income has decreased to what their parents give them and still have to pay for other things like gas and phone bills, then yes it is a little upsetting. Thankfully I will be graduating in December. T_T

I wish they'd offer to pair up the $7.99 streaming with the limited 2 DVD a month $4.99 plan, at least it wouldn't sting as much. I still have a lot in my DVD queue... :/

On another note, has anyone ever had trouble with Redbox? I used them once, turned in the DVD within 24 hours, and then two weeks later I get an email saying that the DVD was late and I was charged $15. So while Netflix is increasing their prices they have never pulled any horseshit like that, and that's enough for me to stay with them over cable or Redbox.
