why can't they get better lids than the ones at 7-eleven?
the starbucks lids are cheap and leak from the edges, they don't fit tight around the cup... and you can't close the lid so every time you go over a bump in your car coffee spills out through the drinking hole 7-eleven has the perfect lids... the fit tight around the cup (no leaking) and it has a sliding mechanism to close the drinking hole so nothing can spill out when you're not taking a sip i don't understand how 7-eleven can beat out a company like starbucks in the coffee arena when starbuck's whole business is dedicated to coffee |

because people buy them regardless if they have good or bad lids, so why upgrade when it costs more

7-11 lids AND cups kick starbucks asses. starbucks cups get all soggy and they can leak through the seam in the paper.
granted 7-11's styro-brick cups have a half-life of 12 trillion years... |

QUOTE (Overlord @ May 2 2007, 10:28 AM) why can't they get better lids than the ones at 7-eleven? because starbucks is run by the illuminati, and they enjoy the ease at which they can throw hot coffee into the faces of minorities and non-christians. |

i don't drink coffee, but i'm told that 7-11 has better coffee than starbucks.
and apparently McDonalds coffee is like some of the best there is, it keeps getting consistently rated the absolute highest -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

Starbucks offers some of the worst coffee I have ever purchased. It always tastes burnt (I am talking about black coffee, that is the only way to actually drink it). If you want an overpriced cup of shit, go to starbucks.
