I'm Really Glad Somebody Finally Said That (1)

One of the little pleasures about blogging is finding someone who says what you'd been thinking, but hadn't yet put into words. I mean, that's just a satisfying moment, isn't it? Here's what Ariel Vanderhoorst said about Starbucks:

While I'm grateful to Starbucks for raising the bar where gourmet coffee is concerned, I'm always baffled by people who seem to fawn over Starbucks like it's a small, cuddly animal instead of a sprawling global conglomerate. I'm also baffled by people who say "Oh, Starbucks is my faaaavorite!" as if this is tantamount to making a strong statement about personal identity.

He he! I'm really glad somebody finally said that.
