Starbucks vs OPEC

[Kreskin]

OIL = $75 per barrel
Venti Coffee = $2.05

1 barrel = 42 gallons
1 Venti Starbucks coffee = 20 ounces (2 cups)
1 gallon = 16 cups
42 gallons = 672 cups (336 venti coffees)

1 cup of Venti OPEC is approximately $0.23. Starbucks is about 8.9 times more expensive than OPEC.

And yet you pay for the coffee still!

(As a side note, is the venti coffee in C$ or US$ because oil is in US$)

Ya but will our cars run on it?

That was Canadian dollar price. What is it in the US?

I stopped drinking coffee a month ago, so I'm a little hazy on the price, but I think its around $1.75 or $1.80 at Starbucks right now in the US.

However, your point still holds. Starbucks is more expensive than oil. People should buy Nabob or Maxwell House then!

Right! The Nabob Columbian blend is my usual coffee purchase
