I've tried a few things, but so far, the local less expensive shops always end up being better. I know a lot of people like starbucks, but out here the only ones that truly frequent starbucks are usually the ones that like the 'brand' rather than the coffee...

I've tried their chocolatey stuff, but so far they either use less good chocolate or make it so nobody can eat the stuff by going overboard on the chocolate/suger quantity... Not my style... I may be a chocolate addict, but some of their chocolate stuff has more chocolate than even a sachertorte. And that's saying something...

I think that's how it is in general...people like the idea of Starbucks. I think a lot of people who are big "fans" of it haven't tried much other coffee. To me their coffee is not much better than other fast food coffee i've had.

I've had some chocolate cake that was too chocolatey. I like chocolate but when you have a chocolate cake with chocolate icing and chocolate syrup on top it might be too much.

I haven't been to a Sonic in a long time. I think they are supposed to have good drinks..at least that's what someone told me.

Shakes are wonderful. Just thinking about them makes me happy.

I really need a blender so I can make myself shakes and iced mochas.

I like different kids of shakes.

That sounds like an interesting combo. I don't like floats much. Indeed you can make different kinds besides just root beer float which seems to be the most popular. I don't like root beer so I don't like root beer floats.
