Hershey’s and Starbucks: the dream team? Maybe.
Filed under: Coffee, Business, Chocolate, On the Blogs, Coffee shops
Last summer there was a press release that came out with little fanfare. Starbucks and Hershey’s had decided to team up, with the chocolate giant creating confections for the coffee giant. The marriage finally came to fruition this week with a new line of chocolate delights sporting a Starbucks logo.
I have a really hard time thinking of anything coming from this pairing as good, but, then, I haven’t tried the chocolates. The team over at Yumsugar has, though, and they were only too happy to give us all a review. It turns out that the line of sweets isn’t so bad. The line includes “six different tasting squares, four truffles, three chocolate bars and covered coffee beans.” Apparently the beans were the best part, but the truffles got good reviews too. The bars were better then the tasting squares, though, which doesn’t make sense to me.
I’m still having trouble getting a handle on this. Has anyone else had a chance to try the Starbucks line of chocolates? What did you think?
Check out this interesting idea, or a bed suspended on a rope. Teak platforms suspended from heavy-gauge rope take center stage, while a punchy orange-striped fabric on the wall and Roman shade create a seamless backdrop. The visual effect of these suspended beds is just awesome, but I wouldn’t recommend a bed like this to someone who’s sleeping like a rabbit and wakes up at the slightest sound. – Via – Curbly
