Starbucks I don't know WHY that vile stuff is so popular

I have a theory that Starbucks brews their coffee to a strength that works well as a base for the various coffee-flavored concoctions they sell. It's not meant to be drunk straight-up. It's meant to be adulterated until all resemblance to its original fresh-from-the-pot state has vanished. Drinking a large (or whatever Starbuckese for "large" is) "black coffee" will result in a four-hour bout of intolerable indigestion.

And olddude, all Folgers coffees are not the same. My wife and I have become addicted to their "Black Silk" blend. Compared to it, their "Classic Roast" and similar blends taste like weak dishwater.
