I need you all to understand something.

"Flavored coffee" IS NOT COFFEE. So when I ask if you'd like a coffee and you say, "Oh, I have my pumpkin latte,", THAT IS NOT AN ANSWER. You have a HOT MILKSHAKE, is what you have.

"Flavored coffee" is an insidious toxic disease spread by the devil.

That is all.

[Beer Snob-50]

1. coffee wiht extra cream is a hot milkshake

flavored coffee, black is coffee imho

[ThomCat]

2. I like my hot coffee flavored soy-milkshakes, thank you very much.

[MrCoffee]

6. i love you.

[redqueen]

8. Hahaha... hot milkshake... yes!

I might have to try one of those pumpkin milkshakes. :D


How did hazelnut get so popular? I don't find it all that good.

[Dr. Strange]

23. Excellent question!

I don't find hazelnut particularly tasty. But it's so freaking popular! WTF?

[AlCzervik]

9. a pumpkin latte, does that really exist?

i like coffee flavored coffee.

[Phillycat]

10. Excuse me, a SPICED pumpkin latte.

With CINNAMON. They have them at Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts both right now. My whole goddamned office smells like nutmeg and whipped cream all day long this season. :cry:

[AlCzervik]

12. why not just get pumpkin pie? Is there anything they won't put in coffee now?

[Phillycat]

13. I think it's because

If people eat a piece of pumpkin pie, they KNOW they're cheating on their diets. But if people get a spiced fucking pumpkin latte, they can say, "Well, it's only coffee."

Of course, when they can no longer fit into their pants, they'll be wondering why. Straight off the Starbucks website for the spiced pumpkin latte:

25. Yes - a fork. nt

[tigereye]

21. I like those!

it ain't espresso, that's true.


But it's still coffee in there somewhere!


I like my sugar and cream and flavoring with a little bit of coffee! ;)

[MissMillie]

18. very tasty, but as the OP says, not coffee

very tasty

[Midlodemocrat]

38. Yes, and it is friggin' delicious, baby. DELICIOUS!@!!!!

:bounce:

[SKKY]

11. Could not freakin' agree more...

Well put.

[DS1]

14. You mean, like. Appletini, Lobstertini, Sunset-tini

and others?

[Phillycat]

19. Pardon me? LOBSTER-tini?

[DS1]

20. this one's a killer

[Phillycat]

22. Oh, wow.

That looks pretty fucking good, actually. :D

Husband and I were in Boston this past weekend and I had a 1 and 1/4 pound lobstah for $14.99 at the Purple Shamrock off Fanuiel Hall. Probably a tourist trap but that lobster was damned good. :)

Saturday night we watched Game 6 at Charlie's Kitchen in Cambridge - that was a whole lot of fun. I love Boston!

[unpossibles]

31. is that a tacotini? nft

[Richard Steele]

44. They serve those at magnificent, empty art museums.

Ya gotta be careful- they'll really kick your ass! :rofl:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

15. Mmmmmm....

I had the pumpkin-spice-latte on Tuesday. One, damned good hot milkshake.

[porphyrian]

17. I like milkshakes. Hot Tang is horrible. -n/t

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. I agree wholeheartedly! I hate flavored coffees.

No matter how good it sounds, it always tastes like shit.

[Phillycat]

28. Sometimes they even SMELL good, and STILL taste like shit.

So gross.

[Rabrrrrrr]

30. Whoops! That's what I meant to say - smells, not sounds.

So often they smell like all of Nirvana and Heaven combined, an entire universe of goodness condensed into 8 oz. of liquid goodness.

And then taste like some of the worst shit the universe ever shat.

[Highway61]

27. Remember Paulie "Walnuts" Gualtieri

On the Sopranos...when he walked into a coffee shop with the gang and while waiting his turn everyone in line in front of him were ordering all this exotic shit...he starts in ...."What the fuck...nobody orders a regular cup of coffee anymore?....WTF is goin on here?"....went on and on for a good 5 minutes...THAT's what you reminded me of...:rofl:

[Fleshdancer]

29. When I become ruler of the universe...

In my world, there will be a fast lane in every coffee shop/cafe for those of us who just want coffee. There is no reason why I should have to wait in line for 20 minutes because the person ahead of me wants something frothed, shaken, latted, spiced, whipped and sprinkled. That's just not right.

[Phillycat]

33. GloriaSmith for Supreme Commander Overlord '08!

:patriot:

[hfojvt]

32. regular coffee is just nasty anyway

I don't understand how people drink that sludge.

Take the caffeine out of it and most people would not touch it, any more than they'd drink 'low alcohol' beer.

[redqueen]

36. Ahem... it's what most call an 'acquired taste'.

But.. yeah... that pretty much means it tastes like crap, till you get used to the crappy taste.

The caffeine is worth it though! :bounce:

[mike_c]

35. GAWD I wish I could recommend this post....

Flavored coffee is indeed the work of the devil!

[SacredCow]

37. I agree, in spirit....

But I do treat myself to a skinny mocha with whipped cream every Saturday morning.

Similarly, Vodka + Vermouth + Olives (and perhaps olive juice) is NOT a Martini. It's not a bad drink, but it's not a Martini.

[TommyO]

40. What, you actually want gin in your martini?

How retro. But you are right, if it goes beyond gin, vermouth and olives it's not a martini.

[SacredCow]

41. I love the classics....

Martinis, Manhattans, Tom Collins- all made to the original specifications.

I recently went to dinner with a large group, and someone ordered a chocolate martini... :wtf:

[Taverner]

42. I like my coffee like I like my women

dark, brooding and bitter

[ghostsofgiants]

43. "coffee" is an insidious toxic disease spread by the devil.

Fixed.
