Starbucks

For the first time in more than a year, I bought myself a Starbucks coffee drink. My old favorite, mocha frappe, even though it gives me a stomach-ache (whipped cream + lactose intolerance = bathroom break).

It occurred to me all of a sudden that Starbucks is obscenely priced. Three or four years ago, with way less compensation, Starbucks was an almost daily habit for me. Now I find it really expensive. It's one whole lunch!

And for those who think the daily Starbucks habit is a harmless luxury, I present the following equation:















+


=



Not so harmless anymore, is it?

I don't understand the picture... with the price of Starbucks, you can replace or upgrade your car?

Is that (blue one) a Ford Focus? So a Starbucks Venti (?), plus some other car, you get a Focus? :P

Over a 5-year period, the cost of a Starbucks a day (120) is the difference in price between a Honda City and a 5-door Mazda3. Do the math :)
