Starbucks's marketing of bottled Frappucino:

[SmileyBoy]

I just saw one of those Frappucino commercials for the kind that they serve in a bottle. They advertise it as a "smooth drink that you can relax with". The commercial I saw shows a lady with a bunch of things grabbing at her back at work, and encountering a lot of stress, then relaxing with a smooth, relaxing Frappucino.

*******AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY????!!!!!*******

OK, folks: The first and only time I drank a Frappucino, I couldn't sleep for two and a half fucking days. Look, I'm not personally gonna go through the horrible stresses of my days as a college student and student football manager, studying for hours on end, repairing football equipment whilst being cursed out at by my coach, only to end my day with a drink that will increase my heart rate 75 percent. Do you think I would instead want a freakin' beverage that would RELAX MY MUSCLES AND MY NERVES???!!!! GAAAWWWWDD!!!! They're promoting Frappucino like it's herbal tea. Corporate America gets zanier.

1. Yes, You Are

Then again, I can drink a pot of coffee and then go to sleep without a problem.

3. I can drink coffee all day too.

I just love the vanilla Frap's...I don't drink them too much due to the sugar content.....A girls got to watch her figure.

2. Years ago, there was a commercial for coffee

that said it was relaxing. It was a serious commercial.

Different people are affected by caffeine to different degrees, but I think we can all agree that caffeine is not meant to be relaxing.
