got mine this morning, bright and early. well ok it wasn't bright out yet but w/e. it was early, i tell you!

last one they had in store pasadena, at the corner of lake and cali. and it had to be hunted down for me, at that

also has some coffee. it was nice and strong :)

mini donuts at 95 cents each is meh. 40 cent discount for buying 3 and still meh. too rich, too sweet, and too big to be called "mini." should have went to winchells next door

so i got the mug. i like it, and being a lefty the scoot faces out. its actually a quality item imo bet if it were a vespa as the receipt says they could sell it in a vespa store for $20 :)

The bucks was a saving grace for me Saturday night on a long late night road trip. Was heading home from Long Island to Northern VA, leaving from a family gathering at 9:30p. Hit the first one in East Northport, picking up a venti Americano (my usual), then bombed through the city. Of course by now, my lady is passing out telling me to wake her up when it's her turn to drive. No chance. Next stop was the 24 hour Delaware Service Area on I-95. All the other rest stop Starbucks were closed in NJ, so the other option would be stale Sunoco coffee. Got a white chocolate mocha, which I normally wouldn't do because it's pricey and loaded with sugar. I didn't care at that point, I needed a major pick me up. Arrived at a groggy 3:30a and had to be up for work at 6.

If you are ever heading up the I-95 corridor, plan to stop at the Delaware rest stop. The other ones are way out-dated in MD and NJ. This place is huge, clean, and has some better selections of food.... like fresh fruit cups and healthbars, instead of just fast food and soft drinks.

Mmm, truckstop drip that's been on the burner for hours. When I was drinking caffeinated coffee, that was the best!

Thread from the dead.......just wanted to say that this mug is now my favorite coffee mug. It's damn near perfect.......right amount of coffee, the sides are thick enough to keep the coffee warm for a while, the handle is an excellent two finger grab, it's just the right size to wrap both hands around if your mitts are cold, and having a scooter on it is cool. I may buy another in the series.....I think it had a dragon on it, looked real cool as well.

I too really enjoy my mug I got right before christmas (from my girlfriend) and then on christmas her mom gave me a second one of the same mug. so now I've got a saturday mug and a sunday mug. What I like so much about mine is that it hold more then usual, and has a concave side (which in mt mind makes it easier to drink from)

I hope they still sell them I've been bragging and sending my scooter buddies to buy them

I enjoyed mine so much I got 2. Dunno where Starbucks makes their mugs (well, China...) but they're really nice. I ordered a pair. one for work and one for home.

I've seen people on ebay reselling them for $40! just buy 1 or two from Starbuck's themselves if you want one.
