Is that heresy? McDonald's coffee is better than it used to be (at least in my town). Starbucks is fine, too. Look, I grew up in the Pacific NW, and I used to be such a coffee snob--wouldn't even touch Starbucks (they actually do go out of their way to over roast or burn their beans). Now, I'll just take the caffeine, thank you.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536293384635588296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-695827161005478882010-08-12T09:25:04.492-04:002010-08-12T09:25:04.492-04:00Not being a coffee drinker I can't really say,...Not being a coffee drinker I can't really say, except my aunt swears McD's "good ole coffee" is the best anywhere. I totally go for the frapaccinos, though. <br />We took granola on a car trip once; gave frequent stops for gas a whole new meaning :-).

Sigh.<br /><br />I actually prefer MD's coffee to Starbuck's--they must leave out the road tar around us. Gas station coffee is, I'm fairly sure, made of motor oil, however.Rowennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757364614589686606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-60737929047749145142010-08-12T07:48:21.200-04:002010-08-12T07:48:21.200-04:00We always bring granola bars on our car trips and ...We always bring granola bars on our car trips and never eat them.
