Starbucks Trivia
It's the same old "use Google to look up something and end up with a dozen tabs of interesting pages in Firefox" story. I went looking for some information on Starbucks and found all sorts of fascinating things:
- A visual history of the Starbucks logo (which involves rendering the mermaid more discreetly) can be found here.
- Among cities in the western US, Anchorage, not Seattle, has the highest concentration of
Starbucks storescoffee shops per 100,000 residents. - The world's largest Starbucks is a five-story "megastore" in Seoul.
- The megastore in Seoul will soon be eclipsed by a store to be built in Dubai. Presumably it will be a gigastore.
