I was just going to post the same thing.
My daughter loves Starbuck's caramel frapps, but she decided to try the McD's one and she also said they taste better (McD's regular coffee is actually really good, too).

I don't care for those sugary fraps, but if you like them, why spend more $$ at Starbucks? There's probably a McD's in a convenient location AND they have a drive-thru!

OMG I didn't realize 70 grams of sugar!! Good God! No wonder my clothes are getting tighter! Seriously though sorry to hear about your health problems, diabetes is nothing to mess with....my father in law is a bad diabetic.

I guess it makes financial sense only if you're a pinhead. That's almost as much as a 6 pack of beer. Forget that. It's not bad, just not worth the money to me. Probably because I'm not a coffee addict. I go through so much coffee in a week it's easier to save by making it at the house and buy gas with the difference in price of a foo-foo coffee instead.

It's obviously a psyche thing, thinking if you spend more for it, it's somehow better. Which may be to a point, but not that much better for the price. That's why they bought out Seattle's Best brand a few years ago, because the competition was closing in. Now, they're trying to push Seattle's Best brand anywhere they can, because they knew they needed a Wal-Mart version to compete, while leaving Starbucks brand as the "premium" brand. Without the lesser brand bouying them up in this tough economic climate, I think there'd have been more Starbucks closing last year than there was.
I lmao every time someone says "5 dollar cup of coffee". No they aren't. Last time I bought a cup of coffee at Starbucks it was 1.39 and was very good. It's the specialty drinks that cost.

As far as it being a 'psyche' thing and spending more for it makes it seem better, that's how I feel about a cruise or a vacation away from home. It cost a ton, and somehow we think it's 'Better' than being at home. Well, I'll take home thank you. People pay for 'the experience' all the time. So why not with a good 'liquid candy' drink at the local S-Bucks.

Did here this on Leno one night though;

The economy is doing so poorly that Starbucks has closed 30% of their stores nationwide. It seems that their customers are switching to a cheaper alternative. Cocaine. - Jay Leno

I was going to say the same thing. I laugh when I see 50 cars waiting at the drive thru at Starbucks.

the drive thru line literally goes out the parking lot and onto the freeway.

I love coffee though. But I get it at McDonalds.

Went once (only cause my son got a job there) - got some strawberry cold something - it was good, but almost $5 and 700 calories. Bout choked to death. I won't be going back.

Guess I'll just stick to my Maker's and Coke! It's 5:00 somewhere, right?
