  • I usually drink sweet tea but right now I would love a Shirley Temple.

    Starbucks has Dragonfruit. I want to try it. This reminded me.  I have a Starbucks next door. I'm going to get one.

    This tropical-inspired pick-me-up is crafted with a refreshing combination of sweet mango and dragonfruit flavors, handshaken with creamy coconutmilk and ice and a scoop of real diced dragon fruit. Contains caffeine and coconut.

  • Gurl, you are killin' me.  That looks and sounds so good.  I have a Starbucks just down the road from me as well.  I'll be purchasing one tonight.  Perhaps we can compare notes later.  Yumbo, as "The Goat" likes to say.

    Not to be a Goaty-Downer but...

    Y'all  make sure you signup for the Starbuck's "Bonus Calorie Plan" and grab yourselves some of those crullers to help firm-up that dragon fruit infused corn syrup pooling in your tum-tums

    I burn more calories in one massage session than most people burn all day long.  What care I? Those crullers look very nice.

    So it is not a coffee drink? Something I might like from Starbucks. Mango worries me though....I am not normally a fan.

    I love mango but I did not care for this concoction.  They cut up a dragonfruit and put the chunks into a tea, mango juice and coconut juice mixture.  That is where the caffeine comes from I guess.

    I'm not sure.  I think there is tea in there.  I know there is no caffeine in the other ingredients.  

    I didn't care for it.  It tastes like tart watery mango.

    I'm still interested in the fruit alone, I have not tried that. I hear it is vey good.  But it costs like six bucks for one.  They are about the size of an avocado so I don't think so.  

    I'll buy some bananas.  And some magoes. And some coconut water and have change left over.

    Believe it or not, water.

    As a matter of fact, I'm going down to get a bottle of spring water right now---please save my place.

    It is my favorite beverage.  Especially where I live.  HOT HOT HOT and DRY DRY DRY.

    I love the Alkaline waters and I love fortified waters.  They actually make me feel more fertilized.

    Fertilized---that's some water: fertilize---cause (an egg, female animal, or plant) to develop a new individual by introducing male reproductive material.

    Or did you mean fertilized as in make (soil or land) more fertile or productive by adding suitable substances to it?

    No. I am not speaking literally.  I am speaking figuratively. Like I feel revitalized.  

    I am not into fertilizers unless they are organic and natural compounds.

    When I am parched and feeling the thirst, my go-to is a tall glass of cold water or iced black coffee. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

    thank GOD you drink the water as the other beverage.  I am very worried about people who don't drink water. They do exist, but not disease-free for long. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at August 15, 2019 6:47 AM MDT

    The reason I posted this was to show others what the western end of Lake Erie looks like in the summer. The algae is fed by farm runoff. It can be toxic, as it was 4 years ago, renendering our tap water undrinkable. This year it isn't as bad.
