Oct 3rd 2009 Too Many Choices

I am lost.
Not spiritually, of course. I am sure (and stored out of my mind) I’m going to heaven. I hope you go with me. If not, we’ll do something, ok?
Back on topic …
I am lost.
Recently, I was finding myself trapped in confusion not knowing what to order at Starbucks. At one time in my life, the process of ordering at Starbucks was automatic. "What can I start for you?" The barista kind arise. "Grande Caramel Frappuccino without whipped cream and extra caramel please", I would quickly respond with a boyish smile.
Recently, this has changed everything. Somewhere along the way, my Starbucks drink quickly became too sweet. It was a good race while it lasted, but it became clear that the time is ripe for a Starbucks beverage of choice change.
However, I have no idea where to start.
1. I do not understand more than half of the Starbucks menu. I am not fluent in the lingo of Starbucks. I am not sure of the difference between a cappuccino, espresso or latte. I have no idea what is chai. Order plans makes me think that I am a sinner. The menu often looks like this to me …
2. I am not a hardcore drink straight black coffee kind of Guy. I like the (as my dad likes to call them …) "froo froo" drinks. When I go to Starbucks, I almost want a liquid dessert.
I need your help.
I am having a crisis of Starbucks.
What is your favorite Starbucks drink? Is there a drink you recommend while I’m at this stage exploring Starbucks?
