  • Texas Man Aims to Visit Every Starbucks

    Aug 8, 6:26 PM (ET)

    By CHUCK BROWN OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) - Documenting a caffeine-powered quest to visit every Starbucks in the world has become the mission of a Nebraska attorney.

    Bill Tangeman, 32, of Kearney, who was a journalist before going into law, is making a documentary film about a Houston native who goes by the name Winter, who set out in 1997 to get a caffeinated drink at every corporate-owned Starbucks store on the planet.

    On his Web site () Winter, who was born Rafael Antonio Lozano, said that as of Aug. 8, he had visited 4,775 Starbucks in North America and 213 in other parts of world. Outside of North America, Winter has gone to Starbucks in Spain, England, France and Japan. There are 5,715 corporate-owned Starbucks in the world, according to the Seattle-based company's August newsletter on it Web site.http://www.starbuckseverywhere.net

    Winter said his trek has been satisfactory on many levels, not the least of which is that it has allowed him to be on a nearly constant road trip for eight years.

    Well, good luck to him! There's a Starbucks on just about every corner in some places! He might not live long enough to finish that documentary.

    I've never had a Starbucks anything except for a hot chocolate once and it was for free. I didn't like it. And I don't want anything from there. They're way too expensive and I almost wonder if they put something in their drinks to get a person addicted. We have one in the building I work in and they do the most business of any place. I see the same people evey morning standing in a long *** line waiting for their fix from Starbucks.

      There are 3 girls that work in my office. One of them stops every single morning and picks up some kind of Starbucks concotion for the three of them. Then in the afternoon one of them will make a run to pick up 3 more. I got them to get me one once with heavy cream and sugar free syrup, it cost like 5 bucks! Geez, they're each spending at least 10 bucks a day on coffee drinks! Unbelievable! I have often wondered the same thing, do they put something in their drinks that's addictive, like nicotine or something?

        I had heard there is triple the caffeine or something. Can't remember, but it could be added nicotine, as well.

          Maybe it's heroin.
