Starbucks Annual Search Review
on 01.07.08, 05:07am in life • share on facebook • comments (2)
My annual Starbucks website search fun continues. Here’s the recap:
- In 2004, a search for the term ‘latte‘ produced no results.
- In 2006, a variety of other Starbucks related items were no where to be found.
This year, head over to the search to find out these tidbits of wisdom:
- “8 Grain Roll” – only returns the album “I Trust You To Kill Me“.
- “Scone” – returns “Arabian Mocha Sanani” as a nice coffee to have with a scone, but no information about their scones (or nutritional value).
- “Drive Thru” – returns information about the 10th anniversary red cups, and a press release about how Starbucks is poised for continued global growth.
- “Skinny” – DING! A winner! Actually has a link to the new Skinny drinks.
While I’m not quite ready to dump my shares, the search feature does seem to be getting slightly improving over last years performance.
Now don’t even get me started on the problems I had with the Starbucks website using Safari (specifically the Store Locator)…

Speaking of the new Skinny drinks, stay away from the Skinny Mocha. Tastes like a burned watered down sugar free Yoo-hoo.
