THE VERDICT PLEASE.....................(drum roll).......

Wall St Journal, USA Today, Time Magazine....all the major pulps reported that coffee lovers prefer the Java at McDonald's over Starbucks. I just had to try this out! I stood in line with kids screaming, Moms ready to have major nervous breakdowns, elderly folks sitting in the mix of all this madness and clerks who can barely speak English. I made it to the front of the line & ordered one cup of black coffee. The packaging of the cup was actually quite impressive.
And now its the moment to see if all the Mickey D's coffee hype could actually be true! OH MY GOD....It was like drinking black tar that was left sitting overnight. Who in there right mind could possibly think that McDonald's coffee could be better than Starbucks? It was like a step below Denny's....only it had a dark color (Denny's is very transparent and watery if my memory serves me)....but it was so awful I trashed it.....This was after walking in to my shop where my Manager exclaimed " WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT???!!!???? The P.R people at the McDonald's corporation have done a stellar job getting the story told by all the major publications. 5 stars in that department. By the way...I have found a great little family owned coffee shop in my area to make my caffeine stop in the morning. The coffee beats Starbucks and McDonald's by a long mile.
