00:01.394 --> 00:05.541
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back to another episode of the entrepreneur experience podcast.

00:05.641 --> 00:10.110
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a bonus episode taken from my personal YouTube channel.

00:10.370 --> 00:16.622
[SPEAKER_00]: And I featured Joe Carrow of Action Coach, the very Joe that is part of this podcast.

00:16.602 --> 00:29.499
[SPEAKER_00]: So we felt it could be good to convert this video into a podcast to serve you the listener of the entrepreneur experience podcast to help you on your entrepreneurial journey.

00:29.759 --> 00:31.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Try to spell that entrepreneurial journey.

00:32.222 --> 00:39.792
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, so if you are learning to be an entrepreneur or your season veteran, you are in the right spot.

00:39.772 --> 00:47.665
[SPEAKER_00]: So especially if you're addicted to launching businesses or scaling teams, especially in the modern day and age with where we are.

00:48.106 --> 00:49.608
[SPEAKER_00]: I come from the tech side of things.

00:49.789 --> 01:03.872
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Jared Taylor and Joe Caro comes from the business side of things and together we create the entrepreneur experience podcast and then plus the community of people we have on our school community with a K.

01:03.852 --> 01:04.954

01:05.174 --> 01:08.200

01:18.760 --> 01:22.006
[SPEAKER_00]: And what we did for this episode is we brought in some Starbucks drinks.

01:22.026 --> 01:23.749
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're going to want to listen to the description of it.

01:23.769 --> 01:26.755
[SPEAKER_00]: If you want to see what it looks like, go to the YouTube channel.

01:26.735 --> 01:40.313
[SPEAKER_00]: and watch it there, but we brought in and reviewed the branding behind seasonal Starbucks drinks and tasted the menu and gave experience and thoughts based on the overall brand field system.

01:40.694 --> 01:44.379
[SPEAKER_00]: What makes Starbucks good as a business that you could copy and implement today?

01:44.419 --> 01:46.702
[SPEAKER_00]: All of this coming right up.

01:47.203 --> 01:50.447
[SPEAKER_00]: So without further ado, here it is.

01:50.427 --> 01:55.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Tis the season to be jolly, but is it the season to be a jolly rancher?

01:56.559 --> 01:57.601
[SPEAKER_00]: It is not jolly.

01:57.621 --> 02:00.707
[SPEAKER_00]: Therefore, hey, I'm here.

02:01.068 --> 02:01.448
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sorry.

02:01.669 --> 02:02.070
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.

02:02.090 --> 02:09.043
[SPEAKER_00]: No, today we bought the entire menu of Starbucks the seasonal edition of

02:09.023 --> 02:20.779
[SPEAKER_00]: everything that we saw on there that looked like it was for this season specifically when I say season I know that's broad and Starbucks will never admit it but it's Christmas and New Year's but more actually it's all Christmas.

02:21.701 --> 02:22.382
[SPEAKER_00]: They're not funny.

02:22.402 --> 02:24.845
[SPEAKER_01]: They kind of got that Christmas comes right after Halloween.

02:25.626 --> 02:26.888
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we skip Thanksgiving.

02:29.231 --> 02:29.892
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe a little bit.

02:29.992 --> 02:30.673
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah a little bit.

02:30.813 --> 02:33.137
[SPEAKER_00]: But that was the only change after I had kids.

02:33.637 --> 02:34.879
[SPEAKER_00]: I used to be a grinch.

02:35.872 --> 02:52.628
[SPEAKER_00]: I used to hate a lot of songs and during the season I would like it Christmas day and then that was it But you grew up in ministry Yeah Churches probably overdue it sometimes and they make it all and you probably had to be the guy setting everything up and turn down So that's probably why you're a Grinch about it.

02:52.788 --> 02:56.175
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I've been in ministry too and I can just relate to that, you know

02:56.155 --> 02:58.558
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I got Joseph Caro here with me.

02:59.259 --> 03:02.122
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you go by Joseph now or is it Joe Joe?

03:02.602 --> 03:05.726
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, because I was what I typically respond to very well.

03:05.846 --> 03:07.969
[SPEAKER_01]: Joseph is like when my wife is pissed off at me.

03:09.030 --> 03:09.991
[SPEAKER_01]: It's no longer my mom.

03:10.271 --> 03:16.779
[SPEAKER_01]: She's just amp because she's just they don't say the F. Yeah, so the pH is just okay.

03:16.799 --> 03:17.079
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

03:17.099 --> 03:19.962
[SPEAKER_01]: I always joke, but like if you don't know my names, but hey you over there.

03:20.403 --> 03:22.365
[SPEAKER_00]: Nice haircut and I'll turn around.

03:22.345 --> 03:29.174
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to taste this and we're also going to review the branding and get into a little bit more of Joe and who he is.

03:29.554 --> 03:32.558
[SPEAKER_00]: And so let's, does everybody know who you are?

03:32.939 --> 03:33.860
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, this is your channel.

03:34.641 --> 03:35.782
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I never sure who I am.

03:35.802 --> 03:36.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.

03:36.603 --> 03:37.384
[SPEAKER_00]: Go, go, go, go.

03:37.404 --> 03:40.348
[SPEAKER_00]: So without further ado, let's do this roll that intro.

03:43.813 --> 03:47.998
[SPEAKER_02]: Your first drink is an iced caramel brulele latte with the red ribbon cup.

03:48.687 --> 03:50.249
[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, let's get red ribbons.

03:51.171 --> 03:53.755
[SPEAKER_01]: So ice caramel brulee latte.

03:53.895 --> 03:54.336
[SPEAKER_02]: Correct.

03:55.137 --> 03:58.342
[SPEAKER_01]: Ice caramel, I like caramel caramel.

03:58.863 --> 03:59.504
[SPEAKER_01]: I say caramel.

04:00.045 --> 04:00.766
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you caramel?

04:01.187 --> 04:02.188
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, do the honors.

04:02.509 --> 04:04.432
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, caramel is too many syllables.

04:05.473 --> 04:07.036
[SPEAKER_01]: Oops.

04:07.056 --> 04:07.877
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a good choice.

04:08.318 --> 04:08.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, go ahead.

04:08.698 --> 04:10.020
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, all right, all right, here we go.

04:10.381 --> 04:12.504
[SPEAKER_01]: Ice caramel brulee latte.

04:12.905 --> 04:14.307
[SPEAKER_01]: They better taste like a crème brulee.

04:16.261 --> 04:20.708
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, first taste is palate change and then second taste is the true taste.

04:21.410 --> 04:24.414
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, don't take my straw.

04:24.434 --> 04:27.259
[SPEAKER_01]: Cool, carmally, definitely.

04:27.780 --> 04:32.888
[SPEAKER_01]: Then afterwards there's that bitter espresso taste, yeah, that stays.

04:33.109 --> 04:35.453
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you get a sophisticated palate probably?

04:35.954 --> 04:37.476
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, this one is a Bob.

04:38.080 --> 04:38.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I bought it.

04:38.901 --> 04:41.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's not a flop, is it a flop or flop?

04:42.226 --> 04:42.566
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

04:42.867 --> 04:43.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

04:43.287 --> 04:44.709
[SPEAKER_00]: So, definitely caramel.

04:44.810 --> 04:46.212
[SPEAKER_00]: I can definitely taste the caramel.

04:46.332 --> 04:46.892
[SPEAKER_00]: It was this one.

04:46.913 --> 04:47.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

04:47.513 --> 04:48.935
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna do this one more time.

04:48.955 --> 04:50.197
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a couple of things.

04:50.217 --> 04:55.124
[SPEAKER_00]: I think what I would like is less sugar and more espresso.

04:55.405 --> 04:58.729
[SPEAKER_00]: This is probably your average person would love this.

04:58.829 --> 04:59.050
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

04:59.370 --> 04:59.891
[SPEAKER_01]: I would agree.

05:00.432 --> 05:02.354
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna espresso again.

05:02.595 --> 05:04.898
[SPEAKER_01]: So I would like to taste more of the espresso flavor.

05:04.878 --> 05:09.588
[SPEAKER_01]: I came into this prepared, knowing that Starbucks drinks are typically very sweet.

05:10.370 --> 05:14.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, so I'm not judging the sweetness because I kind of already know it's going to be very sweet.

05:14.980 --> 05:19.791
[SPEAKER_01]: However, I do like the blend of caramel and espresso in there.

05:19.811 --> 05:21.655
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, I think that's a Bob.

05:21.635 --> 05:24.159
[SPEAKER_00]: But what, is that the thing that, yes, it's a Bob.

05:24.179 --> 05:24.760
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, it's a Bob.

05:25.101 --> 05:28.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, on the branding of this, though, here's the deal.

05:28.887 --> 05:35.397
[SPEAKER_00]: What I'm looking at is they literally just made the cup seasonal by putting red ribbons on it.

05:35.878 --> 05:40.466
[SPEAKER_02]: The red ribbons are based off of the red and green aprons that the staff wears.

05:40.726 --> 05:42.529
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the theme for this year.

05:42.728 --> 06:04.315
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, and then it has a green straw so that the red and the green yeah, so I will tell you this and I'm looking at the lineup over there the Starbucks does a great job for me with making me feel the seasons based off of the colors that they use and also the decorate like it's very simple decorations inside the Starbucks yeah, but I feel either fall or Christmas especially those two seasons yeah

06:04.295 --> 06:06.137
[SPEAKER_00]: And do you think that increases their business?

06:06.638 --> 06:07.098
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.

06:07.679 --> 06:07.979
[SPEAKER_00]: I do too.

06:07.999 --> 06:12.524
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I'll tell you what, like, when I go on to walk with my wife at night, I'm thinking about, oh, let me get a coffee.

06:12.924 --> 06:16.128
[SPEAKER_01]: And what coffee shops are open later at night, the most other ones.

06:16.588 --> 06:17.049
[SPEAKER_01]: Starbucks.

06:17.389 --> 06:19.532
[SPEAKER_01]: What coffee shop has more locations than others?

06:19.972 --> 06:20.533
[SPEAKER_01]: Starbucks.

06:21.013 --> 06:23.756
[SPEAKER_01]: So in my head, I'm thinking, let's go grab a Starbucks.

06:23.776 --> 06:24.958
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even say you want to get a coffee.

06:24.978 --> 06:26.199
[SPEAKER_01]: I say you want to grab a Starbucks.

06:26.599 --> 06:27.180
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh.

06:27.160 --> 06:29.342
[SPEAKER_00]: So they got the, that's how they got me for the now.

06:29.922 --> 06:34.587
[SPEAKER_01]: And Starbucks coffee is a compared to like all these other, it is, you know?

06:35.247 --> 06:36.088
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know what I like?

06:36.168 --> 06:36.949
[SPEAKER_01]: The consistency.

06:37.049 --> 06:39.651
[SPEAKER_01]: I go in there and I know exactly what I'm going to get all the time.

06:40.192 --> 06:45.657
[SPEAKER_00]: So Joe, if you don't know, is a business coach definitely highly recommend them if you're in the Kansas area.

06:45.697 --> 06:47.498
[SPEAKER_00]: But I also highly recommend them if you're not.

06:48.299 --> 06:49.440
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you recommend me as a friend?

06:49.520 --> 06:49.921
[SPEAKER_00]: How about that?

06:50.201 --> 06:51.282
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yes, as a friend too.

06:51.462 --> 06:52.423
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, for real.

06:52.443 --> 06:53.864
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been using what how long?

06:54.305 --> 06:55.986
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

06:55.966 --> 06:56.989
[SPEAKER_00]: about three now.

06:57.009 --> 07:04.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I'm saying that because he's seeing the good side of the business when he says they're consistent and things like that.

07:04.791 --> 07:07.739
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you see that language just naturally crap.

07:08.461 --> 07:10.467
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's good because we want that.

07:10.507 --> 07:10.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

07:10.968 --> 07:15.980
[SPEAKER_01]: on the creative side because you're a videographer, amazing business, by the way, JT visuals without the eye.

07:16.200 --> 07:17.944
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm actually the eye, I got it, I got it back in.

07:18.145 --> 07:19.869
[SPEAKER_01]: You have a creative sense around it.

07:19.889 --> 07:28.268
[SPEAKER_01]: I think more business and how to track some consistency, what are you seeing on the creative side that you agree with because you kind of do this for your clients?

07:28.248 --> 07:35.737
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and on this one specifically, it's not much, but it's one simple change that adds up when they do this across the board.

07:36.118 --> 07:38.100
[SPEAKER_00]: They pay extra money to do this.

07:38.120 --> 07:48.233
[SPEAKER_00]: It takes us to do this, but Starbucks is serving the client or the customer as best as possible by being the most convenient and the most consistent.

07:48.713 --> 07:51.457
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and that's what's gonna be the winner.

07:51.857 --> 07:57.985
[SPEAKER_00]: There are a lot of coffee companies that can easily outbeat

07:57.965 --> 08:13.070
[SPEAKER_00]: However, a lot of people don't know about them or they don't go in because of the convenience or like Maybe you don't participate in seasonal changes like there's a feeling that Starbucks creates really really well This is just a small piece of it.

08:13.411 --> 08:14.974
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the branding on this cup is good.

08:15.454 --> 08:16.476
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see what the next one is.

08:16.877 --> 08:20.563
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, let's do it Next you have a peppermint mocha frappuccino

08:20.729 --> 08:21.250
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me go first.

08:21.331 --> 08:21.852
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, go ahead.

08:22.133 --> 08:22.835
[SPEAKER_01]: Powering it, Moka.

08:23.396 --> 08:26.746
[SPEAKER_01]: So the first one's palaconser, then second is true.

08:26.766 --> 08:27.348
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

08:27.368 --> 08:28.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Makes up a little bit there.

08:28.591 --> 08:29.453
[SPEAKER_00]: How's the palacange?

08:30.095 --> 08:30.456
[SPEAKER_00]: What is that?

08:30.777 --> 08:31.599
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, is it instant?

08:31.640 --> 08:31.960
[SPEAKER_00]: Or is it?

08:32.321 --> 08:33.786
[SPEAKER_00]: The mint was instant.

08:34.127 --> 08:34.407
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

08:34.628 --> 08:35.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the second one.

08:35.731 --> 08:37.994
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely see the need for a pallet change.

08:38.014 --> 08:39.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Those Andy's kitty candy bars?

08:39.836 --> 08:42.079
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, that's a lot of mint.

08:42.119 --> 08:43.300
[SPEAKER_01]: Same challenges last time.

08:43.400 --> 08:46.124
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't taste as much as suppressor as I want to taste.

08:46.144 --> 08:46.344
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

08:46.384 --> 08:47.385
[SPEAKER_01]: Tastes like I'm drinking.

08:47.445 --> 08:50.669
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there any spray in these mint chocolate bars?

08:51.170 --> 08:51.871
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, pallet change for you.

08:52.451 --> 08:53.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's a lot.

08:53.693 --> 08:55.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Whoa, you even on the pallet change, right?

08:55.635 --> 08:56.717
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no espresso.

08:56.817 --> 08:58.078
[SPEAKER_02]: It's frappuccino roast.

08:58.599 --> 08:59.460
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh.

08:59.440 --> 09:01.942
[SPEAKER_00]: What the heck, so is there any coffee in it?

09:02.183 --> 09:03.724
[SPEAKER_00]: I taste a roast of something.

09:04.024 --> 09:05.385
[SPEAKER_02]: Coffee, but not espresso.

09:05.466 --> 09:08.829
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but how do you roast Frappuccino?

09:09.649 --> 09:11.071
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what is roast meat?

09:11.271 --> 09:13.813
[SPEAKER_00]: I bet you just just cough cold coffee that they know in there.

09:13.993 --> 09:14.614
[SPEAKER_00]: I bet you's that.

09:14.734 --> 09:17.116
[SPEAKER_00]: But that wouldn't mean they use the actual coffee, right?

09:17.136 --> 09:19.578
[SPEAKER_01]: So no espresso, but there could be, there's coffee.

09:19.739 --> 09:20.539
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

09:20.619 --> 09:23.722
[SPEAKER_01]: I do believe this drink is caffeinated, so they have to do it with coffee.

09:23.962 --> 09:24.623
[SPEAKER_01]: That makes sense.

09:24.683 --> 09:28.907
[SPEAKER_01]: So reason why didn't taste that bitter after taste is there's no espresso in there.

09:28.887 --> 09:36.316
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright, Starbucks Frappuccino Roast is a special, cold, instant coffee concentrate made from a blend of Italian and espresso roasts.

09:36.716 --> 09:38.298
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, it does have a little bit of espresso.

09:38.558 --> 09:40.341
[SPEAKER_01]: This thing tastes like a candy drink.

09:40.621 --> 09:43.164
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't taste like a coffee drink.

09:43.184 --> 09:46.868
[SPEAKER_01]: The other one, the caramel belate tastes like a caramel bar with coffee.

09:47.569 --> 09:50.292
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this one doesn't feel like there's any coffee anymore.

09:50.853 --> 09:51.994
[SPEAKER_00]: I do like it though.

09:52.114 --> 09:55.198
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the texture of this one though.

09:55.280 --> 09:59.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Like as a frappuccino, this is probably the best textures.

10:00.185 --> 10:04.911
[SPEAKER_00]: I am usually not a fan of peppermint mocha and that is still the case.

10:04.931 --> 10:06.673
[SPEAKER_01]: I still don't call it my name.

10:07.013 --> 10:08.455
[SPEAKER_01]: It's definitely by the sugar.

10:08.855 --> 10:09.956
[SPEAKER_00]: There's making you want to drink it more.

10:10.137 --> 10:12.379
[SPEAKER_00]: This one really tastes like Andy's the most.

10:12.700 --> 10:17.945
[SPEAKER_00]: As compared to what was it, scooters that had peppermint mocha, I was surprised by that one.

10:18.506 --> 10:18.866
[SPEAKER_01]: I was surprised.

10:18.886 --> 10:20.308
[SPEAKER_02]: And that candy cane mocha.

10:20.457 --> 10:24.421
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, again, same problem, like most of their bunter drinks very sweet.

10:24.661 --> 10:25.262
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I can't.

10:25.562 --> 10:25.903
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

10:25.923 --> 10:32.089
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the sweetness is wanting me to keep sitting on it, but my brains tell me that's way too much shirt.

10:32.149 --> 10:33.691
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a dessert, it is.

10:33.711 --> 10:37.655
[SPEAKER_02]: So when we buy drinks for you guys, we just need to customize them at an extra shot.

10:37.855 --> 10:42.380
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but we also want to, like, we want everyone on board test, so that's the norm.

10:42.920 --> 10:44.102
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I normalize it.

10:44.302 --> 10:46.604
[SPEAKER_01]: I like reviewing this because there's no bias.

10:46.744 --> 10:49.367
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't typically buy cold coffee drinks.

10:49.347 --> 10:54.294
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like my review on this is actually a pretty good one just because this is the first time I tasted it.

10:54.674 --> 10:58.539
[SPEAKER_01]: This is like okay, I'm not even biased for this type of drink, but would you buy it?

10:59.000 --> 11:01.203
[SPEAKER_01]: No, okay, so not to you.

11:01.283 --> 11:03.666
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a flop because you just wouldn't buy it, right?

11:04.267 --> 11:07.191
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't buy it because this is not my type of coffee.

11:07.371 --> 11:09.013
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, um, did I like it?

11:09.154 --> 11:09.794
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I did.

11:09.814 --> 11:11.777
[SPEAKER_01]: But if Jared pays for it, you're all in.

11:11.757 --> 11:13.580
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure, if somebody buys it for me, I'll drink it.

11:13.600 --> 11:13.941
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.

11:13.961 --> 11:14.181
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

11:14.202 --> 11:14.442
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

11:14.602 --> 11:16.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm actually in that exact same boat.

11:16.606 --> 11:20.593
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a flop of me personally, but I know it pops for some other people.

11:20.874 --> 11:24.140
[SPEAKER_00]: If it was a complimentary drink, it would taste a lot better.

11:24.861 --> 11:25.062
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.

11:25.222 --> 11:26.625
[SPEAKER_00]: On this for the branding though.

11:27.446 --> 11:29.951
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing seasonal about this is the taste.

11:29.971 --> 11:33.377
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just that it's peppermint mocha, and that's just a seasonal drink.

11:51.194 --> 11:52.977
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it's normal.

11:53.037 --> 11:54.600
[SPEAKER_00]: It's sold year round.

11:54.700 --> 11:55.141
[SPEAKER_00]: Correct.

11:55.501 --> 11:56.082
[SPEAKER_02]: Correct.

11:56.102 --> 11:58.106
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just the Matrix Plain Cup.

11:58.446 --> 12:00.891
[SPEAKER_00]: The culture says this is seasonal.

12:01.271 --> 12:04.317
[SPEAKER_01]: And I wouldn't know that they sold that year around.

12:04.357 --> 12:06.140
[SPEAKER_01]: I would, yes, it's seasonal, just because of the taste.

12:06.560 --> 12:08.023
[SPEAKER_01]: The taste kind of feels seasonal.

12:08.283 --> 12:12.110
[SPEAKER_00]: But still, like, isn't the caramel brulee one year round as well?

12:12.130 --> 12:13.312
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, but they put something on there.

12:13.372 --> 12:14.434
[SPEAKER_00]: They should put something on here.

12:14.414 --> 12:17.157
[SPEAKER_00]: But it told me it's only a seasonal drink and I would have believed you.

12:17.177 --> 12:22.762
[SPEAKER_00]: But listen how good they do naturally on their branding on these cups is like, they say that first sip feeling.

12:23.002 --> 12:24.804
[SPEAKER_00]: Like literally they do so really actually.

12:25.264 --> 12:31.490
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember, if you don't have the best product on the market, you have to be the best at making your clients feel the certain way.

12:31.770 --> 12:32.671
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you come in back over?

12:33.052 --> 12:34.793
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, look at McDonald's for example.

12:35.054 --> 12:36.395
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't sell the best burgers.

12:36.975 --> 12:37.356
[SPEAKER_01]: You're right.

12:37.536 --> 12:38.997
[SPEAKER_01]: However, they sell the most burgers.

12:39.338 --> 12:40.759
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, why?

12:40.739 --> 12:42.301
[SPEAKER_00]: Why is there so much demand for it?

12:42.361 --> 12:51.735
[SPEAKER_01]: It's blue and also their delivery master for the clients is we're all over the place So you don't have to guess if there's a McDonald's versus another place You're not guessing on the taste of quality.

12:51.755 --> 12:54.840
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like you're probably going to get the same thing Starbucks is the same way.

12:55.000 --> 12:55.200
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

12:55.220 --> 12:56.021
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get to the next one.

12:56.242 --> 12:56.642
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's do it.

12:57.143 --> 12:59.727
[SPEAKER_02]: Next up is an iced ginger bread.

13:01.509 --> 13:05.515
[SPEAKER_01]: Try Oh Okay Have coffee

13:05.630 --> 13:09.987
[SPEAKER_01]: my wife loves chai, but you, I don't mind chai, like I said, I just don't go for it.

13:10.128 --> 13:15.910
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's a chai latte topped with dung dung bread flavored cold foam and the pumpkin spice topping.

13:16.092 --> 13:19.176
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, pumpkin spice topping, chai with ginger.

13:19.316 --> 13:23.881
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I'm already guessing how it's in a taste because of what I know about ginger and chai.

13:23.901 --> 13:24.802
[SPEAKER_01]: So this will be stronger.

13:25.463 --> 13:26.404
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no coffee you said?

13:26.664 --> 13:26.985
[SPEAKER_01]: Correct.

13:27.165 --> 13:27.966
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, no coffee.

13:28.687 --> 13:30.889
[SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, that was a pretty cool reaction.

13:30.909 --> 13:32.251
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I actually enjoy that.

13:32.551 --> 13:34.594
[SPEAKER_01]: If you like chai, do you like chai?

13:34.634 --> 13:35.915
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I do, okay, cool.

13:36.035 --> 13:37.957
[SPEAKER_01]: My daughters like chai, Christy likes chai.

13:38.338 --> 13:39.699
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't mind it, I just don't go for it.

13:40.120 --> 13:41.662
[SPEAKER_01]: There's something that hits at the end.

13:41.982 --> 13:44.445
[SPEAKER_02]: You might like it better if it's a dirty chai, Joe.

13:45.337 --> 13:46.118
[SPEAKER_01]: What is dirt?

13:46.158 --> 13:46.978
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that with coffee?

13:46.998 --> 13:47.119
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

13:47.139 --> 13:48.400
[SPEAKER_02]: Put an espresso shot in it.

13:48.820 --> 13:49.000
[SPEAKER_01]: Look.

13:49.260 --> 13:50.121
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to say this espresso.

13:50.501 --> 13:50.862
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

13:50.902 --> 13:52.463
[SPEAKER_01]: That pound cutter was interesting.

13:52.763 --> 13:52.944
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

13:53.224 --> 13:54.165
[SPEAKER_01]: Do it again, though, real quick.

13:54.725 --> 13:57.007
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still trying to enjoy, because it's actually really good.

13:57.027 --> 14:00.070
[SPEAKER_01]: I definitely taste the kick of the ginger at the end.

14:00.270 --> 14:00.971
[SPEAKER_00]: And it gets dry.

14:01.271 --> 14:02.332
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I want you to find.

14:02.612 --> 14:03.313
[SPEAKER_00]: It gets dry.

14:03.333 --> 14:03.513
[SPEAKER_00]: What?

14:03.553 --> 14:04.273
[SPEAKER_00]: 10 seconds in.

14:04.854 --> 14:05.655
[SPEAKER_00]: I was drying up now.

14:05.675 --> 14:05.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

14:06.015 --> 14:07.436
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like five seconds in.

14:07.736 --> 14:08.737
[SPEAKER_00]: But I want to keep going.

14:09.278 --> 14:11.219
[SPEAKER_00]: And try has a little bit of caffeine.

14:11.560 --> 14:15.343
[SPEAKER_00]: Look this up.

14:15.323 --> 14:20.330
[SPEAKER_00]: Coffee or espresso, like whatever, I think it's a chai shot, correct?

14:20.370 --> 14:21.912
[SPEAKER_00]: Or is it chai drip?

14:21.972 --> 14:24.356
[SPEAKER_00]: They're like, what do we compare to?

14:24.957 --> 14:25.738
[SPEAKER_00]: What chai is tea?

14:26.299 --> 14:29.163
[SPEAKER_01]: Chai is tea, but like, well, doesn't chai mean tea?

14:29.663 --> 14:39.357
[SPEAKER_02]: Chai is a type of tea and it comes in a concentrate and then you mix it with milk, making it into a chai latte and it is significantly less caffeine than coffee.

14:39.522 --> 14:40.945
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what's significant?

14:40.985 --> 14:42.167
[SPEAKER_00]: Does it just say significant?

14:42.428 --> 14:43.209
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just what I knew.

14:43.670 --> 14:47.297
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, she has the tragedy, I don't know.

14:47.317 --> 14:53.909
[SPEAKER_02]: 8-ounce cup of coffee has an average of 95 milligrams of caffeine, and a child would have 30 to 50.

14:54.330 --> 14:55.132
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay, I have.

14:55.192 --> 14:56.454
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, my half.

14:56.474 --> 14:59.500
[SPEAKER_01]: Which is weird, because I probably do about 1,000 milligrams a day of caffeine.

14:59.520 --> 15:00.602
[SPEAKER_02]: That's probably true.

15:00.582 --> 15:02.444
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, does this one feel festive?

15:02.805 --> 15:02.945
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

15:03.466 --> 15:04.167
[SPEAKER_01]: What does it feel like?

15:04.427 --> 15:05.749
[SPEAKER_01]: So, let me give you my background.

15:06.310 --> 15:06.410
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

15:06.430 --> 15:07.571
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a paratian, Filipino.

15:08.032 --> 15:10.755
[SPEAKER_01]: My mom used ginger with a lot of the food she made.

15:11.717 --> 15:14.841
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is actually bringing a little bit of childhood memories back for me.

15:15.101 --> 15:15.442
[SPEAKER_01]: Really?

15:15.582 --> 15:17.464
[SPEAKER_01]: With that ginger after taste.

15:18.225 --> 15:19.006
[SPEAKER_01]: Are these good memories?

15:19.687 --> 15:20.228
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of them.

15:21.693 --> 15:22.835
[SPEAKER_01]: The food.

15:22.895 --> 15:25.799
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I don't feel holidayish with it.

15:25.899 --> 15:27.821
[SPEAKER_01]: However, the cup is the same.

15:27.841 --> 15:32.328
[SPEAKER_01]: It has a red ribbon like the last one that the combo brutally latte that we had.

15:33.129 --> 15:35.732
[SPEAKER_01]: So if I had the drink, I'd feel festive.

15:36.093 --> 15:38.276
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I was just thinking is on our frappuccino.

15:38.296 --> 15:40.559
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold on, there hasn't a bit of that pumpkin taste in there, too.

15:40.599 --> 15:43.583
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, which does make it somewhat fielder.

15:43.563 --> 15:46.229
[SPEAKER_01]: Festive, not Christmas Festive, though, to me.

15:46.429 --> 15:46.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

15:47.111 --> 15:48.333
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, giving Festive.

15:48.353 --> 15:50.458
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.

15:50.879 --> 15:51.941
[SPEAKER_01]: All the notes are hitting me.

15:52.602 --> 15:58.956
[SPEAKER_01]: A little bit of nutmeg is coming to my yeah, t's a little bit like um, um, um, um, eight non.

15:58.936 --> 16:04.263
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yes, so I'm thinking right now, right now as I'm explaining, I'm thinking about a Thanksgiving dinner.

16:04.603 --> 16:04.943
[SPEAKER_00]: Me too.

16:05.424 --> 16:08.688
[SPEAKER_00]: And when we're filming this, it's the day before Thanksgiving, so.

16:08.788 --> 16:09.569
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, but yeah.

16:09.589 --> 16:13.174
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, but when you see this, it's not going to be in this cup.

16:13.414 --> 16:15.637
[SPEAKER_00]: It feels like it doesn't belong actually.

16:15.817 --> 16:21.925
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree, because it does feel more Thanksgiving like, and I think it's because of the pumpkin.

16:22.325 --> 16:25.149
[SPEAKER_00]: I would like to taste this drink hot hot China.

16:25.209 --> 16:27.812
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if the heat will bring a little bit more flavor.

16:27.792 --> 16:28.593
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll activate it.

16:28.613 --> 16:30.817
[SPEAKER_01]: Like right now, I'm wanting this drink hot.

16:31.098 --> 16:31.458
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

16:31.478 --> 16:37.048
[SPEAKER_00]: Who wants to buy Joe a hot chai, pumpkin, spider, ginger, ginger bread, chai?

16:37.308 --> 16:37.789
[SPEAKER_00]: Ginger bread.

16:38.410 --> 16:40.494
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they call it Fest of Cajinger Bread.

16:40.554 --> 16:43.860
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably the ginger bread, but I'm not a ginger bread, never say.

16:43.880 --> 16:45.583
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'd never associate that with Fest of.

16:45.783 --> 16:50.291
[SPEAKER_00]: The after taste does make it feel like a pumpkin pie with eggnog.

16:50.311 --> 16:52.635
[SPEAKER_00]: Now the eggnog is very Christmas for me.

16:52.615 --> 16:55.559
[SPEAKER_00]: So when you point that out, it's like it's conflicting.

16:55.619 --> 17:00.126
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a conflict of the in-between Christmas and Thanksgiving.

17:00.146 --> 17:01.588
[SPEAKER_00]: That's this cup.

17:01.748 --> 17:03.511
[SPEAKER_01]: So this year we're going to San Diego for Christmas.

17:03.531 --> 17:08.698
[SPEAKER_01]: So we didn't decorate our house for Christmas, but we typically have Christmas decorations already for Thanksgiving.

17:09.159 --> 17:11.282
[SPEAKER_01]: So for me, Thanksgiving and Christmas feels like they mesh.

17:11.722 --> 17:13.866
[SPEAKER_01]: It just makes Christmas feel longer to me, which I like.

17:13.986 --> 17:17.891
[SPEAKER_01]: I love Christmas, and I hate that like the day after doesn't feel like Christmas anymore.

17:18.332 --> 17:21.897
[SPEAKER_01]: So I love having Thanksgiving and Christmas

17:21.877 --> 17:24.280
[SPEAKER_00]: So in a way, this makes that unique feel.

17:24.300 --> 17:27.886
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, now that I thought about it, you asked me a little bit more provoking questions.

17:27.926 --> 17:30.229
[SPEAKER_01]: I was already thinking, not festive.

17:30.770 --> 17:31.611
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know what he asked me?

17:31.631 --> 17:32.873
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, wait a minute.

17:33.574 --> 17:36.959
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, yeah, have you ever seen that movie, right tattooy?

17:37.319 --> 17:37.940
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right?

17:38.040 --> 17:42.366
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, when he gets his brother to eat something, he's like, what do you feel?

17:42.387 --> 17:43.929
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you, mix it with this?

17:44.169 --> 17:46.713
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh, now this is like, that's kind of what happened.

17:46.953 --> 17:50.398
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, all the colors, all the colors, everything's aligning.

17:50.378 --> 17:50.979
[SPEAKER_01]: It's good.

17:51.199 --> 17:52.180
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, what's the next one?

17:52.500 --> 17:55.623
[SPEAKER_02]: Next up is Sugar Cookie Brebe.

17:56.484 --> 17:58.265
[SPEAKER_01]: Sugar Cookie Brebe.

17:58.605 --> 18:12.658
[SPEAKER_02]: Celebrate the season with the new Sugar Cookie Brebe, a creamy twist on a holiday favorite that combines the taste of festive buttery sugar cookie with notes of vanilla, our signature espresso roast and rich half and half for a luxurious texture.

18:13.379 --> 18:20.065
[SPEAKER_02]: Finished with a cheerful topping of red and green sprinkles for a joyful holiday treat.

18:20.281 --> 18:20.942
[SPEAKER_02]: Are there sprinkles?

18:22.023 --> 18:23.225
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, dude.

18:24.146 --> 18:26.269
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no sprinkles that I see.

18:26.389 --> 18:28.893
[SPEAKER_00]: It could have been sitting longer, but that's the color right there.

18:28.993 --> 18:29.694
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what that is?

18:29.794 --> 18:30.855
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it?

18:30.915 --> 18:31.156
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

18:31.236 --> 18:32.297
[SPEAKER_00]: It looks like...

18:32.317 --> 18:33.339
[SPEAKER_00]: They melt it.

18:33.379 --> 18:33.639
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

18:33.719 --> 18:34.300
[SPEAKER_00]: And the snow.

18:35.542 --> 18:36.643
[SPEAKER_00]: It really looks like it.

18:37.084 --> 18:43.993
[SPEAKER_00]: And when you have a white Christmas and you have to let it dry out, you want to yellow snow coat.

18:44.783 --> 18:47.446
[SPEAKER_01]: They get, ooh, that color is interesting.

18:47.726 --> 18:48.947
[SPEAKER_01]: I smell cookies.

18:49.228 --> 18:56.836
[SPEAKER_01]: This smells like, you know, when somebody baked cookies in your oven and like the smell while you're anticipating any of them.

18:56.856 --> 18:56.996
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

18:57.016 --> 18:57.537
[SPEAKER_01]: Butter scotch.

18:57.797 --> 18:58.438
[SPEAKER_01]: What is this called?

18:58.478 --> 19:00.520
[SPEAKER_02]: Sugar cookie brevay.

19:01.421 --> 19:02.362
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, cheers, cheers.

19:03.803 --> 19:04.744
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you, and sink it.

19:06.366 --> 19:07.968
[SPEAKER_02]: Could you sip a little louder, please, Jared?

19:09.109 --> 19:12.833
[SPEAKER_00]: You actually should do that when you do coffee cupping because what they call it?

19:15.749 --> 19:18.477
[SPEAKER_00]: like it needs to sound like that to get the full flavor.

19:19.199 --> 19:27.040
[SPEAKER_00]: For real, leave a comment down below, if you don't believe me, and if you do believe me, leave that comment, so we can fight all the people that don't believe us.

19:27.061 --> 19:28.324
[SPEAKER_00]: I gotta do this a few more times.

19:30.143 --> 19:32.526
[SPEAKER_00]: Dude, dude, it's like so much time.

19:32.587 --> 19:33.808
[SPEAKER_00]: This is interesting.

19:34.169 --> 19:35.050
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't gather my thoughts.

19:35.070 --> 19:39.016
[SPEAKER_00]: This is mostly milk, sugar, lunchhicker.

19:39.397 --> 19:41.420
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no coffee in this artificial flavor.

19:41.440 --> 19:43.402
[SPEAKER_00]: And it tastes like the butter scotch sucker.

19:43.863 --> 19:45.906
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what emotions I'm feeling with this.

19:45.946 --> 19:48.129
[SPEAKER_02]: It is blonde espresso instead of regular.

19:48.530 --> 19:52.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Blonde espresso should still be good though, like fruity.

19:53.177 --> 19:53.938
[SPEAKER_00]: You should taste that.

19:54.318 --> 19:56.742
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it just disappears or we need to add another shot.

19:56.873 --> 19:59.016
[SPEAKER_02]: It's covered up by the sugar cookie syrup.

19:59.036 --> 20:01.779
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I would fix this by throwing two or three shots of espresso in it.

20:02.140 --> 20:02.620
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like it.

20:02.901 --> 20:04.523
[SPEAKER_01]: This is just all-stage milk.

20:04.543 --> 20:07.527
[SPEAKER_01]: It's steamed milk with sugar flavor with some pee on top.

20:09.109 --> 20:10.130
[SPEAKER_00]: Very dehydrated.

20:10.791 --> 20:10.951
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

20:11.512 --> 20:15.397
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is a flop for me too, just because I wouldn't even ever order this.

20:15.657 --> 20:17.299
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't even want to order it for someone.

20:17.840 --> 20:18.040
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

20:18.981 --> 20:21.004
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, we're going to cut it out of this video.

20:21.204 --> 20:22.105
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.

20:22.439 --> 20:25.624
[SPEAKER_01]: The only person I think that would buy this is somebody who's addicted to sugar.

20:25.845 --> 20:28.509
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I just, it's just nothing but sugar and milk and flavor.

20:28.749 --> 20:29.030
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.

20:29.070 --> 20:29.631
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to try it.

20:30.032 --> 20:31.133
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to try your thoughts on the mic?

20:32.756 --> 20:33.878
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I'm going to like it.

20:34.419 --> 20:38.846
[SPEAKER_01]: I had to like take it three or four times just to see if there's any honest thought that I had about it.

20:40.809 --> 20:43.394
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, she's pouring it in a little, little poor.

20:43.814 --> 20:45.517
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it smells good like you said.

20:45.898 --> 20:46.339
[SPEAKER_01]: It does.

20:46.399 --> 20:48.362
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like lukewarm milk.

20:48.798 --> 20:49.939
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I get it.

20:50.099 --> 20:50.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

20:50.800 --> 20:51.301
[SPEAKER_01]: I can see that.

20:51.701 --> 20:54.264
[SPEAKER_01]: I just I don't know like I cannot describe the flavor.

20:54.544 --> 20:59.630
[SPEAKER_00]: It's exactly a butterfly Scotch dumbed on to me probably and the and it's dumbed on.

20:59.870 --> 21:02.894
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you do anything like 2% milk or non-nons?

21:02.914 --> 21:03.675
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I didn't test them.

21:03.695 --> 21:04.075
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't test them.

21:04.095 --> 21:04.556
[SPEAKER_02]: Any of these.

21:04.636 --> 21:07.659
[SPEAKER_02]: These are all the normal way that they make them.

21:07.799 --> 21:12.304
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, but the cup, this is the first time we get those cool cup.

21:12.364 --> 21:14.767
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually do like Do you have a cloud cup?

21:15.207 --> 21:16.729
[SPEAKER_00]: This makes me feel very festive.

21:17.114 --> 21:20.401
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is the second design they have the apron strings and then the plaid.

21:21.123 --> 21:22.566
[SPEAKER_00]: Is the plaid also aprons?

21:23.027 --> 21:24.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Like is the plaid design also on their aprons?

21:25.593 --> 21:28.459
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't believe so, but I did the drive through, so I couldn't tell you for sure.

21:28.780 --> 21:30.644
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, because that would be cool apron.

21:30.664 --> 21:31.205
[SPEAKER_00]: How would wear that?

21:31.345 --> 21:33.891
[SPEAKER_02]: From what I remember, they just have the plain red and green.

21:34.411 --> 21:36.714
[SPEAKER_00]: And it has the tag of like a Christmas gift.

21:36.734 --> 21:41.221
[SPEAKER_00]: So it looks like Christmas wrapping, but they kept it Starbucks style.

21:41.602 --> 21:44.145
[SPEAKER_00]: And Starbucks is really good with their design.

21:44.366 --> 21:48.011
[SPEAKER_00]: They are that they understand not to overbrand.

21:48.652 --> 21:49.693
[SPEAKER_00]: And they don't overdo it.

21:49.934 --> 21:51.957
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is the most over done I've seen them do it.

21:52.097 --> 21:55.382
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, yeah, with a lot of checkered things, I actually like this one a lot.

21:55.562 --> 21:58.967
[SPEAKER_01]: So you know, it's a very festive emotion for me.

21:58.947 --> 21:59.928
[SPEAKER_00]: And what does this do now?

22:00.069 --> 22:12.246
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, when you walk around or someone sees a cup that looks a little bit different, they go, oh, man, it's the Christmas season and then you get that Christmas feeling and then you go, yeah, I would love one of those, too.

22:12.907 --> 22:16.552
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this actually brings business for all coffee shops.

22:17.033 --> 22:18.215
[SPEAKER_00]: It when people see these cups.

22:18.595 --> 22:20.838
[SPEAKER_01]: I wasn't seeing Diego about a year ago.

22:21.159 --> 22:24.043
[SPEAKER_01]: I had a Starbucks cup because I had it from the hotel, walking out.

22:24.023 --> 22:26.668
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm on this thing called the embarcadero.

22:26.828 --> 22:30.255
[SPEAKER_01]: It's on the bay, lots of mom and pop coffee shops in there.

22:30.916 --> 22:31.978
[SPEAKER_01]: That people are just passing.

22:32.239 --> 22:35.305
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm here with the Starbucks, and I'm like, where did you get this Starbucks?

22:35.325 --> 22:36.206
[SPEAKER_01]: Where did you get this Starbucks?

22:36.647 --> 22:37.328
[SPEAKER_01]: Do.

22:37.429 --> 22:44.462
[SPEAKER_01]: What you were saying is like, when you see people with this, where do they think and I'm starting to think, like, the Starbucks is genius at branding.

22:44.442 --> 22:50.010
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's all these modern pop coffee shops that we could have supported, but people want the Starbucks.

22:50.330 --> 22:56.219
[SPEAKER_00]: I can guarantee, eventually, as a business owner, you will more fend to the way that they're doing it.

22:56.739 --> 23:05.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Even though you preach against them so much, you'll morph into that because they created a repeatable, consistent operation.

23:05.131 --> 23:22.617
[SPEAKER_00]: And the only thing that you can bring to the table is if you mimic all this, but then you don't over roast, you don't make up words just because it's cool, like you use the real words, you know, like they do a flat white and it's my favorite drink, but it's not a true flat white.

23:22.597 --> 23:25.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I still love it, but it's not a true flat white.

23:25.220 --> 23:30.607
[SPEAKER_01]: When you say it, make it words, one of the things that do not like about what Starbucks does is the sizes.

23:31.088 --> 23:31.989
[SPEAKER_01]: I still don't understand it.

23:32.309 --> 23:34.532
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Grande, Grande means large.

23:34.873 --> 23:36.835
[SPEAKER_02]: Short, tall, short, 80.

23:37.396 --> 23:39.338
[SPEAKER_01]: Short, tall, tall, tall means big.

23:39.759 --> 23:43.103
[SPEAKER_01]: Grande, large, 20 means 20.

23:43.083 --> 23:44.905
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it doesn't mean friends, right?

23:45.306 --> 23:51.593
[SPEAKER_01]: So I go to Starbucks and I forget what I'm gonna have a medium, you mean, Grande, I'm like, no, medium.

23:52.874 --> 23:56.979
[SPEAKER_00]: And then all the mom and pop or the local coffee, we, I say local, it's a lot better word.

23:57.199 --> 24:01.284
[SPEAKER_00]: All the local coffee shops are like, hey, what size would you like?

24:01.444 --> 24:05.549
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we say Grande, tall and they're like, dude, dude, come on, not Starbucks.

24:05.569 --> 24:06.450
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know, I know.

24:06.490 --> 24:09.934
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe, if it helps, the venti is 20 ounces.

24:10.420 --> 24:13.207
[SPEAKER_01]: I was, yeah, oh, 20 ounces.

24:13.267 --> 24:13.508
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

24:13.528 --> 24:14.109
[SPEAKER_01]: It really is.

24:14.992 --> 24:15.272
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

24:16.556 --> 24:18.761
[SPEAKER_02]: That's probably why I was 20 ounces.

24:18.782 --> 24:22.471
[SPEAKER_01]: I was 20 ounces, but for the start of the season.

24:22.752 --> 24:23.333
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

24:23.353 --> 24:27.163
[SPEAKER_02]: So it is eight that all is 12th of the ground is 16 and the venti is 20.

24:27.278 --> 24:29.020
[SPEAKER_01]: And then that's an inconsistent pattern.

24:29.501 --> 24:29.901
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

24:29.921 --> 24:33.745
[SPEAKER_01]: So what they're doing is they're getting people to speak the Starbucks language.

24:33.765 --> 24:33.966
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

24:33.986 --> 24:34.927
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, genius.

24:35.267 --> 24:40.153
[SPEAKER_01]: You go to a local coffee shop and you start talking the Starbucks language because we're used to Starbucks.

24:40.473 --> 24:48.202
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think that the executive team and knew that they were making mistakes probably, but they're like, no, we're going to set the standard on how to say things.

24:48.382 --> 24:49.364
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

24:49.384 --> 24:49.944
[SPEAKER_01]: And they did.

24:50.465 --> 24:50.665
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

24:51.186 --> 24:51.726
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, next one.

24:52.367 --> 24:53.248
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, what do we have here?

24:53.448 --> 24:56.712
[SPEAKER_00]: But you got to finish that first look at the face.

24:56.692 --> 25:02.805
[SPEAKER_00]: oh It's like if someone dared you to drink it you could drink it, but so what do we have here?

25:03.346 --> 25:04.208
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, this looks chocolatey.

25:04.308 --> 25:06.553
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is a peppermint mocha.

25:07.074 --> 25:10.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Dink it and sink it

25:10.259 --> 25:12.603
[SPEAKER_00]: This one feels more festive than the other one though.

25:12.823 --> 25:14.966
[SPEAKER_00]: It does because of hot chocolate feeling.

25:15.307 --> 25:18.312
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, but it's very strong on the mint.

25:18.332 --> 25:19.774
[SPEAKER_00]: But it is like Andy style.

25:20.195 --> 25:23.500
[SPEAKER_00]: I love minting espresso with my chocolate milk.

25:24.301 --> 25:25.363
[SPEAKER_01]: Does this have espresso with it?

25:25.583 --> 25:28.327
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's just a regular mocha with the peppermint syrup.

25:28.588 --> 25:29.189
[SPEAKER_01]: I could taste that.

25:29.609 --> 25:30.110
[SPEAKER_01]: I could taste it.

25:30.170 --> 25:30.631
[SPEAKER_01]: I like this.

25:30.952 --> 25:32.554
[SPEAKER_01]: I love chocolate milk and espresso.

25:32.534 --> 25:35.437
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'd love to get a peppermint mocha without the peppermint.

25:35.457 --> 25:36.318
[SPEAKER_00]: It's called a hot chocolate.

25:36.818 --> 25:39.441
[SPEAKER_00]: And then in it, put it's a dirty hot chocolate or whatever it's called.

25:39.461 --> 25:42.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, dirty hot chocolate.

25:42.304 --> 25:43.285
[SPEAKER_00]: That's just mocha.

25:43.846 --> 25:44.707
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just mocha.

25:44.727 --> 25:45.107
[SPEAKER_00]: It's mocha.

25:45.127 --> 25:45.628
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm saying.

25:45.648 --> 25:46.168
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a mocha.

25:46.228 --> 25:49.352
[SPEAKER_02]: That was so confusing.

25:49.372 --> 25:51.073
[SPEAKER_02]: We're making up our own stomach.

25:51.093 --> 25:51.394
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a mocha.

25:51.414 --> 25:53.135
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody, peppermint is a mocha.

25:53.155 --> 25:59.642
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody, go freak out all the buries as a Starbucks and order peppermint mocha, but then say minus the peppermint.

25:59.862 --> 26:02.305
[SPEAKER_02]: Or a dirty chocolate milk.

26:02.504 --> 26:10.834
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like getting a chocolate, sometimes when I order pizza, I have to get like pepperoni and then minus the pepperoni and put on black olives.

26:11.375 --> 26:12.757
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just cheese with olives.

26:12.777 --> 26:13.257
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

26:13.558 --> 26:13.938
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

26:14.259 --> 26:15.140
[SPEAKER_01]: This is actually really good.

26:15.280 --> 26:15.740
[SPEAKER_01]: I like this.

26:15.901 --> 26:23.550
[SPEAKER_01]: This reminds me we go to see Christmas lights on this one street and it's our traditional stop at Starbucks and grab hot chocolate.

26:24.323 --> 26:27.149
[SPEAKER_01]: fun, but I always ask them to put espresso in it.

26:27.570 --> 26:28.833
[SPEAKER_01]: And the same question comes up.

26:28.893 --> 26:29.715
[SPEAKER_01]: You mean a mocha, sir?

26:30.176 --> 26:31.218
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I mean a mocha.

26:31.900 --> 26:37.452
[SPEAKER_01]: So this reminds me of walking on a cold street a few days before Christmas, looking at all these amazing lights.

26:37.953 --> 26:39.857
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even have to have the cup looking like this.

26:39.917 --> 26:42.703
[SPEAKER_01]: The taste alone brings that back to me.

26:42.683 --> 26:52.403
[SPEAKER_00]: I do have to say though like when you have that powdered hot chocolate at home or the kind that like melts like it's a ball and then it melts in Have you seen the bombs?

26:52.704 --> 26:53.345
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, bombs.

26:53.365 --> 26:59.899
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they taste way different than just a mocha like there's something in the chocolate flavoring

26:59.879 --> 27:03.885
[SPEAKER_00]: that it's like more of a malt flavor when it's hot chocolate.

27:03.905 --> 27:10.275
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you do that with milk, so if I have that like, is it Swiss mists, as I was called Swiss mists, my favorite is Girardelli's.

27:10.956 --> 27:18.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, if you go to church or wherever and you just really want to moga put that hot chocolate, you know,

27:18.307 --> 27:20.110
[SPEAKER_00]: But that hot chocolate mix.

27:20.170 --> 27:21.411
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to make our own coffee there.

27:21.431 --> 27:21.872
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I see.

27:21.992 --> 27:27.079
[SPEAKER_00]: Put the hot chocolate mix in your regular drip coffee And it's really good.

27:27.420 --> 27:33.508
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then a little bit of creamer and that tastes different than if you just ordered a mocha I think they're a good business.

27:33.869 --> 27:34.390
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree with you.

27:34.470 --> 27:35.071
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the business.

27:35.091 --> 27:35.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, amazing.

27:35.872 --> 27:39.657
[SPEAKER_00]: We're able to do what they do And the hate as well deserves because they do a good job

27:39.637 --> 27:43.862
[SPEAKER_00]: I live in Raymore and even in Raymore, it feels like we have three to four Starbucks.

27:43.902 --> 27:45.404
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, we don't need it.

27:45.424 --> 27:49.569
[SPEAKER_00]: Like literally across the street in price chopper, you have a Starbucks.

27:49.589 --> 27:52.092
[SPEAKER_00]: And then across the street is a real Starbucks.

27:52.132 --> 27:55.055
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you go down, and there's more blocks and there's another Starbucks.

27:55.856 --> 27:58.439
[SPEAKER_01]: But what they're doing, that's a busy street.

27:58.619 --> 28:00.341
[SPEAKER_01]: So you miss one Starbucks, you're thinking about it.

28:00.361 --> 28:01.643
[SPEAKER_01]: You miss another Starbucks, you're thinking about it.

28:01.663 --> 28:02.204
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, you miss three.

28:02.224 --> 28:03.805
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like dude, but I get a Starbucks right now.

28:04.226 --> 28:05.948
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they create consistency.

28:05.928 --> 28:18.582
[SPEAKER_00]: And convenience is the biggest thing, but then when they add on to like a grocery store It's partial like they don't have their full menu that it's just their most popular stuff It's like the candy bar section at the grocery store.

28:18.602 --> 28:19.743
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's right in front of you.

28:20.204 --> 28:31.716
[SPEAKER_01]: You know you won't coffee You know you want it you just spent all that time with those lousy kids dragging around there and trying to go grocery shopping You need yourself as you deserve this serve a clock you're going shopping

28:31.696 --> 28:34.420
[SPEAKER_01]: For groceries, you need a coffee.

28:34.740 --> 28:36.482
[SPEAKER_01]: We drive down the brand's sand a few times a year.

28:37.303 --> 28:46.856
[SPEAKER_01]: And when we, like, we already know our spot, when we go to Clinton, there's a small grocery store there that has a Starbucks in there, and that's always our pit stop.

28:47.276 --> 28:49.138
[SPEAKER_01]: Use the bathroom, grab the Starbucks.

28:49.158 --> 28:49.939
[SPEAKER_01]: What do we have here?

28:50.220 --> 28:52.202
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a white chocolate mocha.

28:52.222 --> 28:53.404
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, white chocolate mocha.

28:53.604 --> 28:55.827
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you finish your dog chocolate, my dear?

28:56.328 --> 28:57.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Cheers.

28:57.683 --> 28:59.787
[SPEAKER_00]: Think it and think it'd be good.

28:59.807 --> 29:01.731
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, flop, move on, flop.

29:01.751 --> 29:03.555
[SPEAKER_00]: Stick to Dart channel, please.

29:03.595 --> 29:04.377
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a gnome.

29:04.818 --> 29:05.820
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, me too.

29:06.441 --> 29:07.123
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, moving on.

29:07.323 --> 29:10.850
[SPEAKER_02]: Your last drink to try is a gingerbread latte.

29:11.351 --> 29:15.540
[SPEAKER_02]: And it has the green apron ribbons.

29:15.706 --> 29:21.138
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think there's the last one, so the cups we already know brings in a lot of the hot aviolias.

29:21.398 --> 29:26.970
[SPEAKER_01]: But this one is closed to that one drink that was cold and I said I was like hot, so let's try it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm breathing better.

30:04.260 --> 30:04.481
[UNKNOWN]: Really?

30:04.782 --> 30:05.083
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

30:05.585 --> 30:08.396
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, now that you say it Take another drink.

30:08.537 --> 30:10.384
[SPEAKER_00]: Like let it let let's spices

30:11.545 --> 30:13.367
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't do the flavor dude.

30:13.388 --> 30:14.389
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, who buys that?

30:14.910 --> 30:15.731
[SPEAKER_00]: Who buys this?

30:15.751 --> 30:16.131
[SPEAKER_00]: Hold on.

30:16.151 --> 30:19.155
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I disagree I like this agree.

30:19.296 --> 30:26.025
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I like this for the spice part, but I want coffee in this This weirdness of the sounds.

30:26.065 --> 30:31.492
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel healthier drink now that you're saying yeah, I feel smelling things I don't normally smell so you're probably right on there.

30:31.512 --> 30:32.794
[SPEAKER_01]: I just I don't like it

30:32.774 --> 30:33.937
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't buy a doll one.

30:34.017 --> 30:36.503
[SPEAKER_01]: I got a Starbucks for coffee, that's reason number one.

30:36.623 --> 30:43.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm not going to buy it, but if they sold it just in a shot, and it's like 50 cents, who does 50 cents anymore?

30:43.920 --> 30:47.769
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's probably unrealistic, but if they did, I would at least show it.

30:47.809 --> 30:50.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's super, you know, it's a 50 cents.

30:51.640 --> 30:52.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Inflation.

30:52.481 --> 30:54.262
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's more like he's $2 dollars.

30:54.643 --> 30:55.383
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like a nickel.

30:55.643 --> 30:56.864
[SPEAKER_02]: That was your last drink.

30:56.904 --> 30:58.065
[SPEAKER_02]: So now I want to know.

30:58.146 --> 30:59.246
[SPEAKER_02]: What was your favorite?

30:59.667 --> 31:02.609
[SPEAKER_00]: And shot the hot chocolate mocha.

31:02.769 --> 31:21.225
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm leaning towards that, but I feel like I would not buy any of this because I'm going to go for a flat white with an extra espresso or if you add espresso in all this I always did I got two two drinks double shot of espresso with a splash of heavy whipping cream or I do a medium coffee

31:21.205 --> 31:22.567
[SPEAKER_01]: with a splash of heavy whipping cream.

31:22.827 --> 31:25.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you ever had a heavy whipping cream in your coffee or espresso?

31:25.351 --> 31:26.333
[SPEAKER_01]: It creams it up so well.

31:26.553 --> 31:27.535
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so good.

31:27.555 --> 31:27.935
[SPEAKER_00]: It's right.

31:28.356 --> 31:28.797
[SPEAKER_00]: I would do that.

31:29.037 --> 31:30.820
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, thank you for bearing with us through that.

31:31.140 --> 31:35.507
[SPEAKER_00]: And through this, if you're going to go to Starbucks, we do not have an affiliate link.

31:35.527 --> 31:36.188
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish we did.

31:36.208 --> 31:38.792
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, he's going to say, if you want to pay us for this,

31:38.772 --> 31:39.773
[SPEAKER_00]: You know how to find this.

31:39.893 --> 31:41.756
[SPEAKER_00]: This was not a paid for review or anything.

31:41.796 --> 31:48.725
[SPEAKER_00]: We just chose to do it because we do enjoy Starbucks and we do enjoy coffee and we wanted to look at the branding.

31:48.745 --> 31:50.627
[SPEAKER_00]: They do a really good job with branding.

31:51.148 --> 31:56.414
[SPEAKER_00]: Starbucks is someone to model after for graphic design and coffee designs on cups.

31:56.514 --> 32:07.328
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're a local coffee shop, don't try to put everything onto your bags and make it look like craft style like

32:07.308 --> 32:10.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you thinking of a specific place right now when you're talking about that?

32:10.393 --> 32:10.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

32:11.314 --> 32:17.223
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you gotta make it look good and when you make it look good it's not just a feeling or that it looks good.

32:17.323 --> 32:19.106
[SPEAKER_00]: It's also very legible that way.

32:19.647 --> 32:21.510
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're communicating really well.

32:21.790 --> 32:25.676
[SPEAKER_00]: Starbucks is also a really good one to model when it comes to commercials and ads.

32:25.937 --> 32:26.818
[SPEAKER_00]: Now they're...

32:26.798 --> 32:32.747
[SPEAKER_00]: A really good business chain all around the world, you know, you can hate a like and we're not there's a lot to learn from them.

32:32.767 --> 32:32.967

32:33.348 --> 32:35.772
