JAVA CHIP!

Okay... first post. here goes.

I bring to you all today a marvel of man's coffee making abilities. for today's show and tell. Lo and behold, the upmost majesty, the ultimatum. The purest bliss. Be awed by:

Starbucks' JAVA CHIP Frappucino

hm, re-reading that. the picture is somewhat anti-climatic. but hey, with half the world's best tastes, it can afford to look frumpy. okay. how am i gonna review this. This concoction here has been around long enough to have millions of reviews written about it. its too good for words. but well, sitting at the bus interchange at northpoint waiting for 851 gave me some time to think about it. lets try this:

WHAT IS IT:

So, we all love starbucks' Frappucinos now don't we. now take all that frothy goodness and that occasional bits of crunchy ice we all love, and that rich semi-sweet coffee blend, topped with that white-gold crown of whipped cream, and throw it away.. well, not quite. throw it into the blender, thats right. then throw in a bunch of chocolate chips, grind it all up into your frappucino, and voila! what? sounds too simple? well it kinda is, but hey, you didnt think it up now did you?

WHY ITS GREAT:

Each time you put your mouth to that straw, and you pull out that thick frumpy-looking concoction, you pull up bits of ground chocolate chips, and that already god-like frappucino up to your mouth. now, as you sit it there, relishing the sweet taste of the coffee, you feel those chocolate chips in there and you bite down on them. now that is adding texture to taste. you don't get that in the frappucinos. "that occasional bits of crunchy ice we all love" have no longer become occasional. ohh no. now they even taste good!

WHY IT SUCKS:

Well, I barely afford to drink it once a week. This baby costs a whopping S$7.50. That gets you decent eating at carl's jr. but then again, it is starbucks. S$7.50 is worth it, really. unless you're not making your own money yet, like me. so hey starbucks, maybe a student price hmm? wink wink nudge nudge.

SHOULD YOU GET IT?

yes! absolutely. while their prices are high, you should at least try it when you can. the java chip frappucino is truly a classic, something all coffee drinkers should try at least thrice.

MY RATING:
Highly Recommended! (gah, weird squares everywhere!)

this is something everyone who can should try. while it burns your wallet, every cent you pay goes straight for taste. Take their Grande size. Tall is too little and Venti is too much.

SO WHERE CAN YOU GET IT?

every starbucks in the world stocks this. serious. if you live in the yishun area, [singapore] there is a starbucks hidden in a corner on the second floor, near world of sports. they have a big sign on the side but i doubt anyone notices it. lets see. north point... one fullerton... many more. oh and if theres one in the AMK area, that'll be nice to know. use the comment system!

(more weird squares? help!)
