Well I tried to vote for both tea and cola (Pepsi Max for preference) but it only let me register one vote.  There must be a problem in the way you set up the poll gord.  I'm not sure you can edit them once posted though.

That's the only time i have ever been to a Starbucks as well.. although considering how many there are in O'Scare probably not the same one..

I dislike Starbucks for one main reason... they just don't serve a good cup of coffee. It isn't like awful but i can very easily make a much better cup of coffee at home... it's just like they don't care.. which of course.. 1..2..3 all togther now..THEY DON'T!
