Caribou Coffee Medium Hot Cocoa
Item Purchased: Medium Hot Cocoa
Location Purchased: Caribou Coffee / 1328 S. Halsted / Chicago, IL
Price: $2.65 + tax
Review: I didn't actually drink this cocoa so I suppose it will be a bit difficult to review. I actually bought the cocoa for my manager at work. Not because I wanted to suck up to him, but because it was a nice and friendly thing to do as we were starting our day with a cigarette and hot drink. Also because he got my coffee for me last time we went to Caribou together.
Since I can't comment on the chocolatey taste, I will then comment on the ridiculous price of cocoa these days.
Not to sound like an old man, but I remember when you could get a sizable cup of cocoa with a mound of thick whipped cream on top for less than a dollar. A can of Quik cost a buck and a nickel (and I'm talking about the metal cans, not those cheap plastic imitations you pay five dollars for now).
My point is this: $2.65 for one cup of hot chocolate?!? Are you out of your mind? Drop the profit margin with the price and tip your barista a few more coins instead.
Of course, I drink their coffee every day and we all know that coffee is to coffee shops what popcorn is to movie theaters...a CASH COW! Um.. I think I'm confused now.
