which costs about $4 for a small cup, or "tall" in Starbucks speak

Um, no. "Tall" is "regular". Starbucks does, in fact, have a "short" aka "small" cup at a lower price which is available on request, albeit not announced. If the store doesn't have it, they will often apologize and give you a "tall" at the same price.

Nice. Will spring it on m’lady tomorrow.

Not sure how one makes “dble-strength” coffee. Then again, you can in fact stand a spoon in my “regular” black coffee.

I bet the calorie and carb count of the thing rivals that of a couple of huge slices of cake with frosting.

You got me curious. 16oz. is 310 calories and 49 grams of carbs. More carbs than I eat in most meals.

I meant bacon with the pie. But then, bacon with anything is bound to be good.

Mmmmm.....you’re gonna be a hit with this.

Dble strngth coffee? When brewing use dble amount of coffee grains you usually use.

My easy way-—I buy the Folger’s tubes of instant coffee-—then add a tube to whatever coffee I’m drinking-—gives a nice jolt of Joe.

The tubes are handy to keep in a purse, computer case, etc.
