The Unpopular Opinions thread

[Corrie]

Every Starbucks drink I've had has been disappointing. Their drinks taste too bitter and artificial. Making coffee yourself or going to a small local shop is much better. I rarely go to coffee shops, though.

I love the smell of coffee but I dislike how strong most coffee tastes. I'm that person who has 95% milk and 5% coffee. (I wouldn't really count it as a coffee drink.)


Charging extra for milk alternatives is kind of annoying when you're allergic to regular milk. I am glad milk alternatives are gaining popularity. They're a life saver. Oat milk >>>> the rest

I had the pink drink once after everyone raving about it. It was literally 60% ice. I was so rattled I paid that much for freaking ice.

yeah ice coffee at caf?s are scam.

Also unpopular; boba tea is blech, at least this one with pearls that i tasted.. ew

Yeah, I'm not really into iced drinks in general. It's done on purpose to give consumers less. When I worked at a coffee shop, we were instructed to fill up the cup with 50-70% ice. x_x

Boba tea can be hit or miss imo!

Starbucks is overpriced and I don't know how people spend so much money there and mentally justify it.

Agreed. Their stuff is great, but it's an over-priced fad. It's a shame, I love their drinks and food selections and the atmosphere of their cafe's. But it's a very rare occasion you'll see me in one nowadays.

I used to wait in a Starbucks almost daily doing my homework for college while my bf was working at the Walmart in the same plaza. It was nice being out of the house waiting for him, but I've wasted money in that place.

There's a Starbucks here on campus and I like to get their mocha frappe, but I would never even consider going there if I didn't have any dining dollars. I don't have much left in this semester, and when I run out I won't be going to Starbucks anymore (at least, until I get more dining dollars next semester).

I agree, it really is a waste of money, and it's difficult to justify the outrageous prices that they charge for some things. It's especially wild to think that people go there all the time and spend their hard-earned money on something so overpriced.

yeah i so wanna try those to get the good deal of it..need to find a bubble place!

 

[Corrie]

For bubble teas, you can get the fruit pearls which have a different texture than the typical tapioca ones. I find the fruit ones burst in your mouth rather than you having to chew them like you would tapioca.

They're worth a try imo if you hate the chewy pearls.

I worked at a bubble tea place and it’s the same as for coffee shops, fill the whole cup with ice then pour tea in it to fill the gaps and make some of the ice dissolve

I heard the Starbucks in the US and my country serve a bit different coffees, so maybe it's different over here but the beverage they serve are good. I wouldn't say it's reasonable price (never!) but I enjoy visiting there and I see it that I'm paying not for the drink/dishes itself but for the nice relaxing time I have there.

Never liked the "normal" social medias like Facebook and Twatter

 

[Sweetley]

That "Ok boomer" thing is so dumb, like who even came up with this and what does it mean? It start to get really annoying seeing so many people on twitter using it.

 

[Pikachueviaseedling]

1: I think Madoka Magica is better than Sailor Moon
2: Pokemon Black/White are my favourite pokemon games (because of N)
3: I don't like Fornite either
4: I think TWEWY is the best Square-Enix game
5: I think hand-drawn animation is better than CGI

that's about it really

The recommended 7-8 hours of sleep is not enough for me.

To be honest, I really thought it was funny.
Until they started throwing it at anyone, like I was called that at least 7 times already!

Yeah it only works if the person is a baby boomer. Otherwise it's just stupid.
