Everyone knows that I'm a total gadget freak. Part of that requires me to get super excited about products that haven't come out, beta test half baked products and open new products in a fashion that would make the Catholic church proud.

Imagine my surprise when I heard that my own homeboy Starbucks was releasing a new beta product and Seattle was (natch) one of the test markets!!

So I'm walking to work yesterday (it's raining) and this girl with the biggest smile jumps out and gives me a packet that looks similar to a pixie stick flavor pack. More than gadgets I love free shit. Sweet. Apparently the economy is now officially so bad that Starbux's is now getting into the instant biz. Anyways, got too slammed yesterday to actually try the coffee so just made it now.

I opened my packet, dropped into the cup, did the small hot water from the FIM sanctioned coffee machine, added one half half (thanks Wilf!!) and a pack of sugar. Mixed it up.

It's pretty good. Tastes like coffee.

BTW I don't drink coffee, almost ever.

I wonder if Starbucks is owned by Dirk Benedict? That would be fracking awesome! Maybe they'll come out with a "I'm a Cylon" blend.

UPDATE
This coffee is getting me high. For real. Suddenly Starbucks plan makes perfect sense! I bet they totally jack the price on the next hit.
