The pumpkin scones are no longer available at Starbucks. Never been one of those people to track a seasonal product from a chain, but I’ll be excited to see them back in a year.

Finally happened that I ordered coffee from the wrong Starbucks. Didn’t realize it until I told the obviously confused clerk that I was there for a mobile order.
At least I was getting coffee at 9 pm so it was obvious something was up when I came in for a mobile order when the store had zero mobile orders.

The soda company’s first diet cola was a pop-culture icon in the 1970s and early ’80s, then faded after the launch of Diet Coke. Coca-Cola kept the brand going for decades to appease a fiercely devoted base.

We just watched Back to the Future last night and had ZERO idea Tab was still in production anywhere!
