And not all that insightful an opinion at that. The world wasn’t “hooked on caffeine and sugar” before Starbucks? Lame.

Back during the internet bubble, I was in a meeting with venture capitalists discussing the funding of a new hi-tech company. One of the prospective investors was perhaps a little slow and indicated unfamiliarity with the term "business model". A one-sentence definition was offered. Oh, said he. Our business model is really simple: We turn fat, sugar, and caffeine into money. He owned most of the Dunkin' Donuts shops in the area.
