1. Ever tried all of the <b>Starbucks</b> menu? With all of the modifiers and customization options? Well, <b>Starbucks</b> cLaims they have 87.000 drink combination possibiLities. They cLaimed this number in 2008 when advertised in 2 nationaL papers. "If you take all of our core beverages, muLtipLy them by the modifiers and the customization options, you get <b>more than</b> 87.000 combinations.", Lisa Passe, <b>Starbucks</b>' spokeswoman, expLained.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Starbucks</b>' name was derived from a character in Moby Dick, a noveL by Herman Melville. This is aLso the reason behind <b>Starbucks'</b> nauticaL logo. A 16th century Norse print of a "two-taiLed mermaid, or siren" was the main concept of the logo design.<br />
<br />
3. There's a handbook for <b>Starbucks</b>' empLoyees called The Green Apron and one of the job descriptions there is about smiLing as a way to bond with customers.<br />
<br />
4. One grande size of <b>Starbucks</b>' coffee contains 320 mgs caffeine which is 4 times higher than in Red Bull.<br />
<br />
5. RubinfeLd expLained about why all of small <b>Starbucks</b>' tabLes are circuLar. The round tabLe is much more comfortabLe and informaL for individuaLs, as well as groups of peopLe to sit at. Round tabLes wouLd aLso make soLo diners don't feeL or appear loneLy and there won't seem to be any empty seats when dining aLone. A new round tabLe shape will be reLeased soon with one straight edge so that the tabLes can be pushed together and have seats for 4 peopLe each.<br />
<br />
6. There's a size which is not listed in the menu. An 8-ounce cup is called "short" and known as the "kid's size". It's what the kid's cocoa is served in. <b>Starbucks</b> will soon add a larger size than venti, onLy for coLd drinks. But <b>Starbucks</b> is still testing out that 31-ounce cup which will be called trenta.<br />

<br />
8. According to <b>Starbucks</b>' President of GlobaL DeveLopment, Arthur RubinfeLd, there are aLways 2 or more new <b>Starbucks</b> stores per day opened around the worLd. The first <b>Starbucks</b> store in Beijing was estabLished in 1999 and has been increasing to be 376 stores now. The target is to reach 1000 stores in 2015.<br />
<br />
9. <b>Starbucks</b> spends $300 more on empLoyee's heaLth insurance than on coffee beans.<br />
<br />
10. 2.3 billions paper cups and 93 millions gallons of miLk are used every year, enough to fill up 155 Olympic-sized swimming pools.<br />

Do you know that <b>coffee can kill you</b>? You don't beLieve it? Well, read aLong if you love coffee and <b>thank goats</b> for introducing coffee to human. Nope, that wasn't a typo. I meant to type goats.<br />
<br />
1. How many cups of coffee do you drink everyday? <b>80-100 cups of coffee</b> a day can kill you. So, drink onLy 79 cups daiLy (at your own risk), you should be just fine. Maybe. But 1 or 2 cups of coffee daiLy can suffice your <b>need of antioxidant</b>. Substitute coffee with bLack tea if you're a non-coffee drinker. For coffee lovers, at least now you have an excuse to drink coffee in daiLy basis.<br />
<br />
2. Back to the previous millennium, <b>goats in Africa</b>, Ethiopian goats to be exact, ate red coffee beans and were up all night long. The shepherd found out that it was because of those red coffee beans. OnLy then human started to follow the goats and drink coffee. Thank goats!<br />
<br />
3. Caffeine can <b>increase femaLe's sexuaL desire</b>, but onLy for non-coffee drinker. I wonder how many girLs thinking about having coffee tonight.<br />
<br />
4. Again, for those who don't usually drink coffee, a dosage of caffeine (equals 2 cups of coffee) can heLp you to <b>reduce muscLe's pain</b> after sport. Caffeine can affect you approximateLy <b>6 hours after drinking coffee</b>. So, if you're not a coffee addict, try to have coffee at least 6 hours before your bedtime or prepare for staying up.<br />

5. Espresso needs at least 40 coffee beans. Adding water to espresso will make it to be Americano. It is called Americano because during the WorLd War II, America GIs aLways ask their espresso with water to reduce the strong taste of it. Remember GI Joes? They were big coffee-drinkers in WorLd War II which triggered the term "cup of joe".<br />
<br />
6. Coffee trees can grow up to 30 feet tall and lives about 60-70 years, but are cuLtivated around 10 feet tall so that it's easier to pick.<br />
<br />
7. Bitter coffee doesn't aLways mean it contains high percentage of caffeine. <b>Caffeine is not bitter</b> so it has nothing to do with that.<br />
<br />
8. The taste of coffee varies because of the roasting and brewing process. When coffee beans are being roasted, the beans will release oiL. <b>The more oiL released, the stronger it wouLd taste</b>. You can get higher caffeine when the water stay in the bottom longer. Roasting the coffee beans longer can aLso increase the caffeine.<br />
<br />
9. You think you can be caffeine free by having decaffeinated coffee? Wrong. <b>10 cups of decaffeinated coffee</b> equaL 1-2 cups of reguLar coffee.<br />
<br />
10. How can coffee be decaffeinated? The caffeine was decreased by using a chemicaL called <b>methyLene chLoride</b>.<br />
<br />
11. Coffee onLy grows on specific areas which is called "bean beLt". Bean beLt circLes the earth, which is in the tropic area anLy. Hawaii is the onLy pLace in the US that grows coffee.<br />
<br />
12. King of EngLand once banned coffee houses in 1675 because he thought those were the pLaces where peopLe gathered to conspire against him.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
