Starbucks $15 Extra Value Meals

OK, I made the price up. But Starbuck's has signaled to the world that they will be offering pairings of food and drink items at attractive prices, in a nod to the economy and the continued strength of McDonald's and other fast fooders' value options.

So here are my totally out my tuckus predictions.

Venti Caramel Machiato and Classic Coffee Cake: $15
Venti Coffee and Reduced Fat Turkey Bacon Sandwich: $15
Tall Hot Tea and Apple Fritter: $15
Cheese and Crackers Plate and Grande Iced Tea: $15
Tall Caramel Frappucino and a lovely recycled napkin: $15
Large Green Salad and 4 ounce gratuity cup of tap water: $15
Tall Vivanno (chalk flavored) and a cut up apple: $15

I kid. Actually I love Starbuck's so consider these jokes of amour. But the idea of this company competing with the McSausage McBiscuit for a Mcbuck is an odd direction to take, in my view.

Starbucks and BBDO: Agency Trades Fizz for Foam

BBDO is taking lead responsibilities for Starbucks, just days after getting the hook from Pepsico. I'm guessing Starbucks is going to get some sharp work from the wunderkinds of bevvies.

Yahoo Bias For the CornHuskers?

AP is reporting that while Yahoo employment has suddenly declined by 1500 in California due to pink slip outbreak, the company has applied for a bevy of tax breaks in another state in exchange for promising to create at least 100 jobs that pay more than $68,700. That state? Drumroll:



The office will be a data center and a customer service facility.

No reason why the industry shouldn't spread out, especially since the cost of living in Norcal is nothing short of absurd.

But as a public service to any Yahoo Sunnyvale people who may be relocated, I provide the following info about Omaha which you may find invaluable on a daily basis:

Oldest Living Digital Marketer [considerably thinner than currently, blue blazer flung over left shoulder held by thumb] Personally I find it magical that we live in a country where you can buy bass fishing equipment in the same place you can get a Latte. I really do. It's why, sniff, we are not red states or blue states, we are the United States of America.
