Starbucks is terrible, I don't understand why it has such a cult following.

Again, it's a variety of reasons (at least in the US)

1) Starbucks is everywhere. If you're in a major city center like DC, LA, NYC etc there are bound to be many many starbucks. There are two Starbucks stores about a block and a half away from each other where my dad works.

2) American coffee culture. It seems that a lot of Americans who drink coffee drink it because they want the energy. Sure they like the taste but they don't really nitpick over it; they're the frat-boys of the coffee world. As long as it tastes like they think it should taste and it gives them the effects they desire, they'll drink it.

3) Give me convenience, or give me death. I think more and more people are abandoning the whole "brew your own pot at home for cheaper than buying it at Starbucks/Dunkin's/McD's/whatever" in favor of being able to stop by Starbucks on the way to work and grab a quick coffee.

4) A lot of people go to Starbucks for the specialty drinks. Y'know, the things that are about two shots of espresso and a shitload of syrups and milk and as such aren't really coffee so much as they are just specialty drinks. They don't necessarily go to Starbucks to get plain drip coffee or buy beans.

NONE of it tastes like the liquid shit that Starbucks is selling at 'An Appendage' for a Small, 'Your Anal Virginity' for a Medium, and 'Your Kidneys' for a Large.

That's Tall, Grande and Venti thank you very much.

Why would anyone go in Starbucks seriously, unless you're a middle aged woman or queer.  Just go to one of them portable van things that sell hot chocolate, only like £1 usually and very nice. 

Other alternatives are cafes or somerfields/morrisons/netto/ and grab a tub of instant hot choc powder.

So she's got a Tall ass and Grande chest to go with my Venti schlong.

I will inform the wife shortly.  I'm sure she'll be thrilled with the changes.

I know Europeans don't have the highest reading comprehension standards so I'll post this again

I'm more of the "Stukas Over Disneyland" perspective, myself.

Though I do see value in the assertation that  "Kinky Sex Makes the World Go Round", that generally is more fantasy than reality.  In reality, it's usually more of a case of "Too Drunk to Fuck" or "Night of the Living Rednecks"
