Starbuck's Roasted Blonde Coffee is Not Made of People

@Mr. Obvious: LOL... nice. (although it looks like that typo's since been fixed, see Jay's comment below)

Speaking of oddly-named products, what's up with the "Veranda Blend" naming on the VIA packaging. I was expecting the same "Blonde" theme to follow-through.

This side of the border, veranda = a front or rear porch/patio on a house. Does Starbucks expect us to dig out the lawn furniture and sit outside in the middle of the Winter as frost crystals form around the edge of our cup?

Actually, coffee flavored ice crystals... Mmmmm.

There. Hehehe - thanks for the catch.

"we guess they had to get a blonde in their"

Get a blonde in their... what? Ear? Nose? Pocket? Ford Galaxie 500?

I got 2 free bag sample's of the Blonde roast the other day at Starbucks. I think this coffee is really weak and the taste didn't really stand out. The taste was not my favorite, and did not leave me wanting more then the one cup. I would prefer the Starbucks Colombian Coffee to this if i'm not getting a Darker Roast. If you don't like strong bold coffee then you will love it thou, because it is neither.

I’m guessing they are the using the Blonde descriptive much like the beer industry does as a style of beer with lighter body and crisp flavor. Caribou also came out with a couple new roasts, Starlight (lightest light) and Eclipse (darkest dark). I’m looking forward to trying those.
