We went to a new coffee shop today. And got no surprises there - we received same mosquito spray -tasting liguid in an oversized paper mug as everywhere else - Second Cup, Seattles Best, Blenz etc. There are NO alternatives here. In Europe you can have coffee in a REAL cup and in a portion size you can finish without getting caffeine poisoning. Cinnamon rolls served in coffee shops back home have pearl sugar on top, not loads of that mayonnaise -looking and tasting crap known as "icing". And Starfucks is the worst of all the coffee shops! Starbucks is the one that started this whole evil tar-tasting-liquid-served-in-an-oversized-papermug -concept, and all other coffee shops are now imitating Starbucks to their best ability. World must be warned before Starfucks and their likes take over the entire globe!
They use highly addictive weapon-grade caffeine to get people hooked after just one coffee. You have just one drink, and you are trapped. You have to return time after another to get another fix of that overpriced starfucks shit, and as the addiction worsens, you need ever increasing dose to get your fix. Before you notice, you will need their "large" sized shot instead of the "regular" (which already is about half gallons). I know personally one sad example of a seriously addicted person, who is still struggling with her Starfucks-addiction years after moving away to Ruoholahti, Finland.

The reality is much worse than you can imagine: there are TWO of us poor souls in Ruoholahti who have missed our Starfucks poison and are forced to live in an eternal state of longing, misery and desperation.
Our only hope (or dope?) is to drag Starfucks beans from our trips abroad, so we have to pretend we are interested in travelling, with our only real intention being the sweet fix of seeing that familiar sign that will give us a tiny slice of paradise in a form of caffeine.
We will never be cured again.
Neither sane.
