Geek & Mild by Sean Sperte

Fourbucks Desktop

After the recent (and subtle) price increase at Starbucks, my drink now comes to $3.90. Factor in the occasional toffee almond bar, and I’m spending an average of $5 every time I have a coffee craving in the middle of the day. What’s worse, lately, since we’ve run out of coffee for my barista machine at home¹, I’ve been visiting the big SB in the mornings as well.

So it’s with an aching wallet and bruised checking account that I whipped up this desktop picture – designed to sit as a reminder that, yes, gasoline for your body costs more than gasoline for your car.

At the risk of lawsuit and/or not-friendliness from the coffee corp itself, I now offer it to you, the world. Why? Because I care.

Enjoy.
