It's taking over the world!
Starbucks is taking over the world! Man, talk about global marketing and mass production in addition to wiping out all other mom and pop coffee shops. I'm starting to get a little nervous when I first saw this map on Wikipedia. I mean, in a way it's scarey. I remember my first trip to Europe, Coffee Bean was practically everywhere! I think if they keep growing, there is going to be little escape from this huge corporation. It's starting to become like Umbrella Corporation from Resident Evil or not dealing with healcare or pharmaceuticals. I hope I didn't speak too soon...Starbucks already has their own brand ice cream and film production company, Starbucks Entertainment! Dang...

Wal-mart has plans to take over the world too. Their business model prepared for the construction of a new Wal-mart store no more than 20 miles apart throughout the populated regions of the US.

Being a tea drinker has its (budgetary) advantages.
