CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- Anything made by McDonald's tastes better
Curiously I find exactly the reverse.

Their coffee also beat out Starbucks burnt acid
in a taste test.
**Hardly surprising. Starbucks does not do all that well here in
Australia. Apparently Starbucks coffee is crap (I'm not a coffee
drinker), compared to the local specialist coffee places. Last Winter I
travelled to my favourite chocolate shop (as I do every year on my
birthday). Whilst there, I wandered down to a very crowded coffee shop.
The shop has no doors, as such and it is just as cold inside, or
outside. The queue went well out of the shop and down the block. The 4
baristers were frantically making coffee as fast as humanly possible.
People were sitting on milk crates, or standing outside the shop (in the
cool, windy August Sydney weather) consuming their bevarages. Prices did
not appear to be especially cheap. Two doors down the street was a
Starbucks. All wood panelling, air condictioned and very inviting. There
were no customers to be seen.
For the record, this is where the finest chocolates in Sydney can be found:
