Starbucks vs Dunkin Donuts

Starbucks vs. Dunkin’ Donuts Debate : The Coffee Wars. Coffee wars : Starbucks vs Dunkin' Donuts! Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts Coffee for you? Welcome to the topicable debate of Starbucks vs Dunkin' Donuts -- Coffee Wars! Do you prefer Starbucks or do you prefer Dunkin' Donuts coffee?

I was just reading that Susan Gunelius wrote a blog post about this very lens topic. It seems that Dunkin' Donuts sponsored the research study through A&G Research to return the conclusion that more "hard working Americans" prefer Dunkin' Donuts coffee over Starbucks. Well, you don't get any more 'hard working' than JaguarJulie. And, JaguarJulie thinks Starbucks has the best coffee.

My ex-hubby was always telling me that Dunkin' Donuts is the Starbucks of the Northeast. I don't know about that as I haven't visited the Northeast lately ... how about you? Starbucks OR Dunkin' Donuts?

So you want a good cup of coffee or a donut? For me, it's a good cup of coffee and it's 5 STARS for Starbucks!

 Starbucks vs Dunkin Donuts : Coffee Debate

Why Coffee?

Especially these two well-known brands?

Would you believe that I started drinking coffee when I was about ten years old? At that time, there weren’t any Starbucks coffee shops. And, it was usually just a good old cup of java – nothing fancy except do you want it black or with cream and sugar.

I’ve also drunk my java with a little cream and some popular sweetener, not sugar. It seemed that was the only way I could start my day – and normally, I went for the stronger brews.

In the beginning, I remember Maxwell House, Folgers, and Chase & Sanborn. Sometimes, grandma would serve the instant which never tasted right. Other times, she had the old electric percolator brewing.

The first time I had a cup of Starbucks coffee I thought it was interesting tasting and rather strong. Later, in my coffee drinking life, I learned to compare other coffees to that taste. In the end, I found Dunkin’ Donuts was a bit too mild for my tastebuds. I always kept coming back to Starbucks.

How about you?

I am seriously just trying to be on the RIGHT side of all that social media stuff. You know, minding my Ps and Qs and showing proper etiquette across the board. That's right to me; don't want to be left out.

Harley vs Honda Motorcycles

Harley vs. Honda Battle of the vroooms! Debate me: Harley vs Honda please! Welcome to the great debate of Harley vs. Honda ... it is seriously the Battle of the vrooms! Gentlemen, please start your engines. Vroom Vroom Folks! Let's start those engines, shall we.

The battle of the vroom-vrooms or motorcycle sounds has raged for years and years! But, having been a Harley-Davidson 'back-seat rider' for many years, there is no comparison to other imitator motorcycles and their 'sounds.' Harley vs. Honda -- which has the better sound; which is the better bike; which is YOUR choice for the best motorcycle?

You know, recently I met the lady that spearheaded the Chrome Divas organization in Jacksonville Beach. We talked about motorcycles for women drivers, and she gave me some tips on which bikes to check out. Was one of them a Harley or not?

Didn't Harley ctually PATENT their sound? Well, I've ridden on a few Sportsters and a Fat Boy, plus attended Daytona's bike week numerous times ...

Let me tell you, there ain't nuthing compared to a sound of a Harley! Vroom ... Vroom! Let's get it started in here. Beep! Beep! And, move over!!! HARLEY vs. HONDA -- Battle of the VROOMS!

Hello Rider Readers!

We've got a simple question for you!

What have you ridden?

1. I only ride Harleys!
2. I only ride Hondas.
3. I will ride whatever motorcycle I can get my hands on.
4. I don't ride motorcycles.

Vroomage says:
Both have their pluses and minuses.
Harleys are fine bikes in their own right, but Honda is great in its own right too. I would say that HD makes a meaner sounding machine that is iconic of classic America, however they are pricey and the accessories are quite high as well, but those accessories are also readily available.

Honda cannot compete in terms of sound, however, in terms of a smooth ride and overall reliability (shaft driven, excellent record of long lasting rides, etc) Honda would be my personal pick.

I wouldn't turn down a free HD, no doubt, but if I have to pay for a machine, I would rather take a smoother ride from a company with a better track record in regards to reliability.

HD has gotten a lot better since the 70's though (in terms of reliability) but old reputations last a long time you know. Some will say that you never see a 1950's Honda motorcycle on the road, but the company didn't even start releasing their motorcycle line in the USA until 1966, just keep that in mind.

Honda Harley Deal?

This goes to prove my point that HARLEY is indeed a better motorcyle than HONDA. And, what’s that they say? If you can’t BEAT ‘em, BUY ‘em?

Honda-Harley deal, a dead-end – Posted on June 25, 2007
On Friday, rumors were circulating that Honda Motor Co. reportedly was eyeing American classic Harley-Davidson. However, the Japanese automaker denied the talk. Nonetheless, the rabble-rousing happened to drive up Harley shares $3, closing the week at $62.55.

But a Honda-Harley deal makes little sense for Honda, and not just because Harley has a $16 billion market cap. As BloggingStocks points out, Harley customers are fiercely nationalistic, so if it fell in to the hands of Honda, most Harley riders would go elsewhere for new bikes.

So if Honda’s looking for a deal, its money would be better spent on Jaguar and Land Rover, which Ford Motor Co. may sell. –Matthew Wurtzel.
