The morning report

By now, you all know how I feel about Starbucks and a few have withnessed my maniacal glee over its newfound struggle to survive. A bit harsh, yes, but as a former indie barista whose job was nearly forced out by corporate competition I have a bit of a personal grudge. This week, Dunkin Donuts released its new ad campaign, that claims that good ol’ DD trumps Starbucks in a national blind taste test. They even launched a new website called – yep, Dunkin Beats Starbucks.

In more exciting news…Holy boobs, Batman! Save the tatas! In a disturbing new study at a Swedish University, evidence was found to suggest a link between coffee consumption and the shrinking of breasts.

Helena Jernström, a lecturer in experimental oncology at Lund University, said “Studies carried out on almost 270 women showed that there was indeed a clear connection between coffee and smaller breasts.”

Consequently, it was also found that regular coffee consumption reduces your risk of developing breast cancer. Hmph. Win some lose some, eh?
