delivering Starbucks to the stars…

It had a perfect launch and drifted slowly turning back to earth like a kite… so light that no parachute was necessary.

Would you like your rocket Tall, Grande or Venti?

Just make it hot… They should have put one of those insulator sleeves on the bottom cup…

I just learned that I heard the name wrong over the loudspeakers… It’s "Decaffeinator" not "The Caffeinator".

My mind can’t accept the concept that a rocket could be decaf.
