Thank you.  Things like Coffee, whiskey, food, etc., should be
distinctive 
to each region, and to each maker of it.  Starbuck's isn't BAD, per se,
it's 
just bland and uniform, which IMNSHO is worse than bad.

Not hardly.  Plus I have bigger issues with instant than with Starbucks.
 I 
can only think of 1 good use for instant coffee for my self, as a
topping 
for ice cream.

Ok, that's going from bad to worse.  My mom LOVES buttermilk, I hate it,
but 
it is a great baking ingredient.
