Recent News at Starbucks

There are a few things brewing over at Starbucks that are worth mentioning. The first is that they are moving to a 2% milk in their outlets across the US. While the move may not be recognized by the casual buyer, both in terms of taste and lower caloric content, I am sure that they will collectively save about a few million calories a year across the chain. The real caloric savings would be to skip just one Frappuccino a year.... or Orange Mocha!

Yes, Starbucks has an orange mocha out these days. I have to say that while I tried one the other day, I am biased; I have never liked an orange and chocolate, so I can't say that I like it, nor did I expect to. The Orange cake that they have was actually pretty good though, and I would recommend that as a nice indulgent snack.
