Everywhere? You mean on every corner in a local starbucks near you as described in the article?
- delinka 13y agoAnd anywhere else that sells prebottled drinks labeled "Frappuccino." Until now, I didn't realize those bottles sitting in the local grocer probably have a Starbucks logo on them someplace.
- sheetjs 13y agoIIRC it was a joint venture with Pepsi (and yes, those bottles are clearly labeled Starbucks)
- throwaway092834 13y agoI have seen "frappuccinno" drinks offered for sale at more than a few local non-starbucks coffee shops over the years.

For a while I was looking into opening a coffee shop and it's fairly straightforward to license names and sell coffee and coffee products from a lot of major coffee companies. Not that I care for Starbucks coffee, but it was the biggest brand that business brokers pushed on me.
- throwaway092834 13y agoNo way for me to know, but I doubt it. I'm talking about very small shops very out of the way, and quite a long time ago as well. I assume it was under the radar.
