Want to Win the 2010 Starbucks Planner - Maver's Starbucks Planner Palooza

My Entry:

If you were a Starbucks drink, what would you be and why?

absolutecousins

If I were a Starbucks drink, I would be the highly indulgent Dark Cherry Mocha Frappucino Blended Coffee. It is a concoction of the well-known Mocha Frappucino infused with rich cherry flavor and has bits of bittersweet dark chocolate. Yum! It is part of Starbucks’ Holiday Season Line-up so it is only offered once a year. I chose the Dark Cherry Mocha Frappe not only because I have a sweet tooth but also because I am similar to the drink in the sense that hidden beneath the normalcy is a multi dimensional person. I love things that stimulate me spiritually and intellectually, at the same time I am a sucker for crazy funny and shallow earthly things—seems like a bizarre mix, yeah, but it is a note-perfect combination just like the Dark Cherry Mocha Frappe.
This drink would definitely go well with the cherry planner. heh. :)
