Hacking Starbucks continued

Local blogger PlazaJen has a great post about how she hacked Starbucks’ berry chai infusion, which is a chai tea that combines “a proprietary

blend of aronia berry and black

currant juice.”

As fast as Starbucks can introduce drinks, people (me included) are trying to hack them or subvert them or do whatever we can to try and find cheaper alternatives for the same taste.

Part of that is human nature but there’s something else at work right now too.
