Comment: I note your comment that latte's will not be available overseas which is not actually correct. McDonalds in Australia has been offering its customers the McCafe experience where you can get any type of coffee you would like (including Soy Milk and Chai). This has been available for quite sometime. Although my first preference is my local coffee shop (the Coffee Guru), it is reasuring to know that you can get a good latte at McDonalds, even on the highway in the middle of nowhere!

Comment: I do not want to smell french fries and happy meals before my cup-a-joe. Thanks for the option Ronald, but I???ll continue stand in line at Starbucks.

Comment: I am not the crazy about smelling french fries and happy meals before my morning cup-a-joe. Thanks for the option Ronald, but I'll go to Starbucks.
