Ruka Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I remembered going to Starbucks in Malaysia trying a chocolate drink (I can't remember the name)! It tasted nice! ^_^ I'm not a person who drinks coffee, but when one time I tried white mocha from my friend who bought it at Starbucks, I loved it! ^_^ But I wouldn't dare to buy it, it's too expensive here.

Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I have a Starbucks about 2 minutes from my office. I haven't been there in months, but I'll occasionally treat myself to a chai. Plus, my mom knows I like Starbucks, considering she's the one that started me on it, so she'll occasionally give me a gift card, and my dad sometimes gets Starbucks gift cards as awards from work, so he'll give them to me or my mom because he doesn't like their coffee.

rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I don't like plain, straight coffee unless I add at least two packets of sugar and a lot of milk or cream. Even then, sometimes it ends up being too strong for my tastes. I do like drinks with some coffee in them, such as coffee shakes. :D Also, Starbucks has really good hot cocoa. Being a year-round cocoa drinker, I hate that they only offer it during the fall and winter (if I remember correctly). Quote
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I don't drink coffee at all. I'm a tea or hot chocolate drinker. I think the Starbucks here have hot cocoa all year. Quote
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Really? o.o I don't really know how it is around here, but next time I go to Starbucks I'll try and order a hot cocoa...if I remember to do so. :P Quote
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I would think it's something they would keep around. Hot cocoa is big with kids, so I don't think they'd only have it during winter. I'll have to check the next time I'm near one. Quote
Sweetdang Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Coffee's good stuff, but give me my double chocolate from Coffee Bean or a steaming cup of Earl grey any day! :) Quote
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I just got back from Starbucks about half an hour ago and ordered a hot cocoa. So apparently they do sell it year-round :D Quote
The Meepit Commando Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 pyrope finnaly went un-anon, and thanks rach, I LOVE the image, adding it to my sig as I post this :laughingsmiley: Quote
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Awesome. :D I figured they did. I've actually never had their hot cocoa. The only things I've ever had there was their black tea and chai tea. Quote
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 No problem dear! Glad you like it :) Also, I just thought I should make it clear that pyrope = Rach. :laughingsmiley: Same person. lol Quote
The Meepit Commando Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I tried their hot cocoa, it tastes like dark chocolate, so if you like dark chocolate then you will like Starbucks hot cocoa. I'm a TDN addict now! (is that good or bad?) @ pyrope, I assumed that because that was what everyone called you :graduated: Quote
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate's flavor, but I'm still going to have to try it. Quote
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I think I got the dark chocolate hot cocoa...or the five-chocolate blend. I don't know. I just asked for "hot cocoa." *shrug* I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Starbucks sold hot cocoa even when it's technically still summer. :P Quote
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Probably because hot chocolate is one of those things that if they have fans of it, they'll get it all year. Just like with ice cream. I'll get ice cream even if it's -10 outside. Quote
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Me too! That is, if there's ice cream in the house. Or, I could go to school and get some ice cream. There's a vending machine with ice cream bars in it in my school's cafeteria. Quote
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 That's awesome. My grade school didn't have any. (At least not outside of the teacher's lounge.) In middle school, they had them, but didn't allow them to be used until after school. And HS, it was an open campus. I don't remember seeing any vending machines, but if you crossed the street, there were almost a dozen fast food places within a 2 block radius of the school. Quote
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 There used to be a McDonalds within walking distance of my school, but it got torn down and it's not opening again until November. There's also a pizza place within walking distance of school as well as another burger joint, a grocery store and a gas station. The pizza place is a popular hangout, even though the pizza is okay at best and rumour has it that people do drugs behind that building. (At least that's what I heard...) The vending machines at my middle school were on all day but weren't allowed to be used during school hours. I totally didn't understand that at all :/ Quote
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Within a block of the main gym there was an Arbys, McDonald's, Wendy's, Domino's, and Taco Bell. Within a block of the main building, there was a gas station, 2 pizza places, Carl's Jr, and I don't remember what else. (my school was on 3 different blocks, 4 buildings. Main building with separate shop building. Main gym down a block, and auxiliary gym over a block.) Quote
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Oh wow. O.O I can't imagine having all that many fast food places within walking distance of my school. No, really. :P I also can't imagine going to a high school that's larger than my current one. It has one building and two floors. Just about everyone I meet goes (or has gone) to a bigger school than I do. :laughingsmiley: Quote
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I went to a huge HS. It was pretty much in the middle of downtown. It was the first HS in my city, so when others opened after quite a few years, they had to change the name. (It had the city name as the name.) It's 4 building. 2 gyms, the main building, which has 3 floors, plus a basement where the science classes are held, and the shop building is on the same block, but separate, is 2 floors. Quote
-Ryan Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 My highschool is fairly big. 5 buildings. Main office, one just for classrooms, and the rest have classrooms but also have two cafeterias, a gym, and a library. Not in each one of course though. I'm actually really getting into being a part of my school. Our football team going to the state championship last year helps. :P Btw, 48066, awesome siggy. Quote
rachiee Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 (holy crap, there are 42 guests viewing this thread. o_O) Aaaaanyway. I'm not sure when my high school was built, but my best guess is that it was built sometime in the '50s or '60s. I know that there were some parts to it that were redone or built much more recently, presumably around 2004 or something. There are actually only a few hundred students going there, which is a whole lot less than I thought. Quote
Spritzie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I totally forgot about our library. It was 2 levels. There were so many classrooms and levels, I made a map of where each of my classes were, and the best way to get to the next one. Quote
-Ryan Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Hahaha, our highschool has about 4 thousand students. Maybe five. They had to have two lunch hours even. Btw... HECK YEAH. GO URLACHER. Quote
