Has anyone tried Starbucks newer drink? I believe it is called Chantico or something to that effect. Personally I don't get it. I bought one and had my crew try it, but even with that tiny cup most of it went in the trash

Already taking pot shots at Starbucks ...he he??? I gotta add my formal view of Starbucks here. I would consider them as a dream client, the one with enough power to take care of biz, i.e.. I need materials and equipment to build any fantastic project they dream up no matter how outlandish, the same thing goes with Nordies, I could build something in the "Nordy" style as well as an equally mind blowing scheme, that would not only more fully encompass their ideal and tone but innovate features never before implemented.

My official tone when it comes to Starbucks in this forum, .. You are all welcome no matter what part of the spectrum you represent and/or work with.

I look forward to both Nordstroms and Starbucks responses....

I did not mean to offend anyone. That was not my intent. I was just curious what other people thought of it because for me it just didn't do it and I really didn't understand the appeal. I was mostly curious to hear from people who enjoyed it and what aspects they like about it so that maybe it could be elaborated on.

No offense taken, I just wanted to take a different perspective as to the norm, yeah S.B. has issues, as do all large corporations, I look at it in one way as them leaving behind niches that can be filled as well as I respect those that aren't afraid to tread upon new ground to help pave the way for others to follow, ie. I've found they will move in an area that is not even educated as to the value of espresso and can stick it out long enough for it to catch on. With most small businesses, they can't afford to operate that long term, letting the other branches support and carry them until they start to turn over a profit, so it's a double edge sword all together.

I do very much welcome SB equally as NS staff to join our group as well as research and add valuable input., this is by no means limited to just you guys, I just hope I can set a tone and make it worthwhile for all that participate.

I can't say that I have tried this drink you're talking about. But then again I don't beleive I've tried a Starbucks drink in the last couple of years. I think the last one I had was some blended drink with coconut in it, and believe it or not it wasn't too bad Shocked . Over priced, but not bad tasting. Don't tell them I enjoyed it Wink

It was a hot drink that came in a very tiny cup. It was kind of like an extremly thick hot chocolate. I watched them make it but it wasn't helpful because it was a premade liquid in a non labeled pitcher. I am still curious if the company has found it successful.

Is asking them directly out of the question?

I am interested in this Chantico drink? I haven't noticed it in the Starbucks place where I live. What is it made of?
