Some free petite treats from Starbucks.

One of the fun things about a birthday party is that it’s not just the birthday boy or girl who gets all the goodies.  Yes, they get the lion’s share of fun, but they share it with everyone else.  I mean, the best part of a birthday is cake and ice cream, and everyone gets a taste of that.  In the spirit of a birthday party, Starbucks will be giving customers free desserts to celebrate its 40th birthday.

From today until Saturday, from 2-5PM, your local Starbucks will be giving you the treat for its birthday.  If you purchase a regular drink, you’ll get a free petite treat from their new line of under 200-calorie desserts.  Among the petite treat lineup are a red velvet whoopie pie, a tiramisu cake pop, salted caramel squares, mini cupcakes, and other various and sundry deliciousness.

The new line of petite treats isn’t the only change for Starbucks during its midlife crisis.  The company is also unveiling a new blend of coffee, dubbed the Starbucks Tribute blend, which is a mix of Sumatra, Ethiopia, Papua New Guinea, and Colombia coffee beans.  In addition, there’s a new drink, the cocoa cappuccino, which sounds incredible.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
