Celestial Seasonings……….COFFEE??!!

Celestial Seasonings has been one of my favorite grocery available teas for years.  As an artist I really love their packaging, and as a *greenie* I love the organic/Fair Trade mentality.  This is a warm, fuzzy company if I ever saw one, and I know that somewhere there is someone at Celestial Seasonings wearing birkenstocks […]

Getting Ready for the Superbowl

O.k., I almost want to admit that I don;t like football so much but I am kinda afraid to because of what happened on another blog I am involved with. No offense to any Farkers out there, I just don’t care for it.

Starbucks Goes Retro for the Future

 
Apparently Starbucks is meeting McDonald’s sandbox challenge with a not-so-unique idea.  Obviously the management has been reading Kettle and Cup because they  are going retro, appealing to the baby boomers among us and going for the throat. IHOP’s throat that is. Starbucks is test marketing the $1 bottomless cup, calling it back from the past […]
