This past Sunday, I was amused to see that Starbucks had wrapped every Tribune with a wrapper with a “how to order coffee” booklet. The thing is a parody of itself, complete with detachable reference card for the paint-by-numbers (or is it Mad Libs?) set:
I’d like to have a…
[cup-leave blank if you’re getting it to go]
[decaf, number of shots and size]
[syrup, if any]
[milk and other modifiers-don’t specify a milk if you want whole milk]
[the drink itself]
