No Dad, You Can’t Make This. I Got This at Starbucks
Isn’t brand recognition a bitch … and oh, so costly.
“Don’t go to Starbucks, I will make that for you,” I said.
“Haha … get real Dad, you cannot make Starbucks Vanilla Coffee — Caramel Frappe with Pumpkin Powder. Plus. … Daddykins, … it’s only € 383,00 and you can keep the plastic cup with logo. Bargain,” she said.
That kid that was napalmed in the Vietnam war (you’ve seen the picture), also kept something … her shriveled skin. Some things are just not worth keeping.
Cheap is always easy when it’s not your money.
“Wow,” I replied, “that’s incredible. I had no idea coffee making was so specialised. Unfortunately, I can only make things like Lobster Thermidor Souffle with Porcini foam, glazed Star Anise infused carrots with ginger butter.” She did not pick up on the dripping sarcasm.
I cannot afford to drink at Starbucks. But my 4 children are smashing Starbucks daily. I really must remove my credit card details from the fridge door.
Yesterday’s WhatsApp message on the family chat:-
“Can someone remind me what drink I like from Starbucks, it’s cold with brown sugar. What’s it called,” asked the eldest.
