One of the things I looked forward to coming to the US was adding items to my various Starbucks collection. So, I was so excited when I was given the opportunity to do fieldwork in Los Angeles, California last October 2016 - the fieldwork which I extended to pleasure trip to visit my relatives in San Francisco, California.
Global Icon Series Collection (Tumblerista/Mugger)
It was a big disappoint that in US, it was not only that they don't sell much tumbler but more so, they don't offer any Global Icon Series collection - tumbler nor mug. What are just available - I was here mug collection.
Did I get one for myself? NO. For one reason, mugs are much heavier and more delicate to transport than tumbler. Another reason, it will just urge me to look more of this kind from other countries.
Card Collection
Dito ako bumawi! Not just two (because of two locations I visited), but I got four different cards as souvenirs from US. And all these four are just released in the US.
Kakaibang Beverages
Aside from the collectibles, another thing I liked in Starbucks - US is the kakaibang beverages experience.
Pumpkin Spice Latte. I usually associate pumpkin with squash. Kaya akala me lasang kalabasa. But surprisingly, there was no taste of squash and it was more creamy nga yong dating and sweet.
Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino (in bottle). Compared with the hand-crafted one (the one offered at Starbucks stores), it was more creamy. Gusto ko sya. :)
