New temptation from Starbucks
The Mint Mocha Chip Frappuccino.
Guaranteed to keep you climbing onto the treadmill -- or avoiding the scales -- throughout the summer.
Jim, I'm not a mint fan myself, although my wife loves it. I much prefer the Java Chip Frap.

Posted by: Toni at May 12, 2005 07:45 AMToni, just be forewarned that the consensus from the two people in our group who tried it last night (both of whom are mint afficionados) was that it's very sweet and almost too strong for their tastes. But, as they say, your mileage may vary!

Almost blogged about that mint mocha chip today.
I don't do mint though. I was enjoying a Mocha Frap at SBux at the time.
