Starbucked: A Double Tall Tale of Caffeine, Commerce, and Culture | Taylor Clark
7 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
STARBUCKED will be the first book to explore the incredible rise of the Starbucks Corporation and the caffeine-crazy culture that fueled its success. Part Fast Food Nation, part Bobos in Paradise, STARBUCKED combines investigative heft with witty cultural observation in telling the story of how the coffeehouse movement changed our everyday lives, from our evolving neighborhoods and workplaces to the ways we shop, socialize, and self-medicate. In STARBUCKED, Taylor Clark provides an objective, meticulously reported look at the volatile issues like gentrification and fair trade that distress activists and coffee zealots alike. Through a cast of characters that includes coffee-wild hippies, business sharks, slackers, Hollywood trendsetters and more, STARBUCKED explores how America transformed into a nation of coffee gourmets in only a few years, how Starbucks manipulates psyches and social habits to snare loyal customers, and why many of the things we think we know about the coffee commodity chain are false.

I don‘t actually drink coffee, I just like the cup so much I have it in two colors. Starting my day off with a coke. #mondaymorningbeverage.

Back from Starbucks! Listened to audiobooks on the way there and back.

Of course I had to transfer to my Moby Dick mug when I got home! #24in48

Which one is tall?

Bklover Why, the one on the right, of course. 😳🤨🙃 5y
RinaBrahmbhattBarot @Bklover you know Starbucks too well! I always confuse 'tall' and 'venti'..... it will be simple if they have small, medium and large :) 5y
JacqMac I‘m old. I always just ask for a medium. Because who has time for that. 5y
RinaBrahmbhattBarot @JacqMac if I order in person, I say medium too but in an app....I always make mistake 5y

LMAO!! I've been checking the app every morning, which is kind of crazy because I don't even LIKE PSL. But every year I order it anyway. And every year I drink the one and decide never again. 😂😂😂The orange color kind of freaks me out. Do tell littens, am I crazy or do you hate it too?!

AndreaReads No pumpkin anything! Blah! 🤢 At least in food. I do love decorating with pumpkins! 7y

janeycanuck Love the spice part, hate the pumpkin part. I much prefer the cinnamon dolce latte, which is conveniently available year round. 7y
Reviewsbylola I get cinnamon dolce every few weeks but my favorite is the chestnut praline latte! @janeycanuck 7y
janeycanuck @Reviewsbylola oh yes, that one is delicious - the topping is SOOOO good. I really hope it's back this year. 7y
DogEaredBooks I live for the Carmel Apple Spice once it's fall 😍😍 (edited) 7y
emilyhaldi Mmmmm love chestnut praline 💕 pumpkin spice is too sweet for me 😝 7y
Susanita I want PSL in November when nobody has it anymore. 😕 7y
Amandajoy My favorite is the salted caramel hot chocolate. Don't care about the pumpkin spice lattes. 7y
Shemac77 I love them only because it means fall. The actual taste is rather ick. I make a homemade one that's much better and all natural ingredients. 7y
readinginthedark I love pumpkin everything, but my favorite Starbucks specialty is the peppermint mocha they have in the winter! ☕️ 7y
OrangeMooseReads I don't like it because it doesn't taste pumpkin, spice, or latte to me. Lol 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto I hate it too! I love pumpkin bars - I mean seriously obsessed but I do not like the PSL. I order it about once a season as well. 😂😂 I'm telling myself as I'm typing that not this year. 7y
Reviewsbylola I already told my husband I'm going to order it with less pumps of the syrup this year to see if I like it better. 😂😂😂 @Ashley_Nicoletto 7y
Zelma I can't stand them. Give me a mocha or latte only, no flavors. 7y
L_auren Can't take anything in my coffee besides coffee but I'll try basically anything else pumpkin flavored all fall 7y
Cinfhen Hate Pumpkin spice & chai latte ~ I'm all about the carmel macchiato 7y
Reviewsbylola Caramel macchiato is what I get 90% of the time! @Cinfhen 7y
Mdargusch I like it. 😁 7y

Picking up a Pre-Scholastic Latte for the girl before the Pumpkin Spice Aptitude Test. Or something like that.

Yossarian @katedfisher Sophomore taking it for the first time. 8y
Yossarian @Kitty_Rochsmith The technical name in meteorological circles is "shmutz on my windshield." 8y
katedensen @Yossarian Ah ok. Well I hope it goes well--if not, the sophomore one doesn't really count toward anything. But it's great practice! 8y
Zelma Nicely stated. ☕️😂 8y
