Interesting Trivia And Facts About Starbucks
Starbucks is best-known for whipping up the sexiest cup of coffee. However, as with all things, there is more to Starbucks than what meets the eye. Yes, that is right! Starbucks is carrying a few skeletons in the closet. Luckily, the skeletons are alive and well and dressed up as facts. Check out 3 of these dressed-up facts below!
When Enough is Never Enough
Starbucks, the leader of coffee shops, has a boat load of favorable options — 87,000 combinations to be exact. It may be too hard to believe, but according to Starbucks spokeswoman, Lisa Passe, this wild number is accurate. To help lessen the shock-factor, Lisa Passe explained the formula to a blogger from Wall Street Journal. “If to take all of our core beverages, multiply them by the modifiers and the combination options, you get more than 87,000 combinations.
Sweet Nightmare
Starbucks mastered the art of making two things: coffee and pastries. Therefore, a visit to Starbucks is more than worthwhile. The coffee is magical, and the pastries are scrumptious. Unfortunately, they both are waistline killers. Between the two, though, Starbucks’ pastries do more damage. In fact, most of them, such as the Cinnamon Chip Scone, contain more calories than most meals from McDonald’s. Due to this fact alone, the name, Sweet Nightmare, would make a great replacement for the name, Starbucks.
Starbucks’ Inspiration
The CEO and chairman of Starbucks, Howard Schultz, wrote a book called, “Pour Your Heart into it: How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time.” In this book, it states that Starbucks got its name from the novel, “Moby Dick.” In addition, Starbucks’ logo came from a 16th-century Norse print.
Starbucks, the leader of coffee shops, is the shop of many compelling facts. After all, it has been up and running and serving the public since 1971.
