STARBUCKS SENDS ME SOME ENERGY: DOUBLESHOT + A USB COOLER

Starbucks (thanks Elavia) sent me a care package this week with the essential ingredients for good blog-making: caffeinated beverages and a USB cooler as powered by my computer.  Coming to grocery and convenience stores this month, you’ll find the Starbucks Doubleshot drinks.

They come in 4 flavors including vanilla, coffee, mocha, and cinnamon dulce.  I sit sipping the new flavor, cinnamon dulce as we speak.  It tastes like a cinnamon bun mixed with a little milk.  Not exactly my drink of choice but for you sweet drink junkies out there, this is for you.  I mean, I’m the girl who drinks her coffee black with no sugar.  I’m also a little intimidated by the size of the can.  Think of the extra large version of the Red Bull can and you’ve arrived at the size of this product.  Who drinks this much beverage all at once?  Luckily, my clumsiness kicked in and I spilled my can all over my desk.

My intrigue over this particular care package really comes from the USB cooler/warmer.  Plug this device into your computer via USB to keep any beverage warm or cool.  There’s a separate switch on the back for either.  I like to let my beverage linger on my desk over several hours.  Now, at least I can keep it at relatively the right temperature.  Ingenius.  Click here for one of your very own.
