PBJ My Ass!

Starbucks is chock full of product innovation, which certainly keeps the buck in Starbucks. The world's most expensive peanut butter and jelly sandwich debuted at my local sipping gallery this week, again affirming that Starbucks is really intended for Barbara, Chip, Skip, and Marsha 'n them.

'For $3.95 Lil' Miss Beckys of The Mall will soon be rolling in the floor begging the nanny to pick up this stylized half sandwich in a plastic box. It's not a naked sandwich, because that'd be too much like right. This modern marvel shares it's package with a small square of kale topped with two apple slices. To quote Momma, "I wish I would!"

The nice Seattlites have outdone themselves. The Starbucks PBJ is more ostentatious than their Ethos™ Water. That innovation being American bottled water sales will build wells for poor kids overseas. You can bet Marsha is trying to write that off on her taxes as we speak! Me? Yes, I'll be back for my iced latte come Monday afternoon.
