I agree Tim! Starbucks has been hailed as the top coffee chain, but this is due to a successful marketing campaign for a mediocre product.

I’m not surprised by Starbucks failure to rebound from poor sales. It was only a matter of time before people realised that they were paying over the odds for an inferior product.

Starbucks is not keeping up because people looked for alternatives during the down economy and found that the Starbucks’ signatures burnt taste really sucks compared local gourmet coffee house brews.

10 mg of hydrocodone is 10mg of hydrocodone. Whether it has acetominophen or buffers in it and is called vicodin, lortab, tylox, or whatever. Hydrocodone is still the active ingredient and where it comes from is as irrelevent as which factory produced a particular can of coca-cola. Sure, at some level there maybe tiny differences in each batch, but Tylenol is NOT any better at manufacturing Ibuprofin than, for example, Equaline.
