Starbucks TV Ad

[Fred]

Just noted a Starbucks ad for their double-caffeine coffee. Says it will give you "twice the go". Knowing the diuretic effect of caffeine, I appreciate the double-entendre. If you customarily pick up a Starbucks on your way to work and need the toilet as soon as you get there, if you get one of these double caffeine drinks you may need to make a stop sooner.

Anyone who works for Starbucks or related fields please correct me and I'll apologize. But I'm wondering if the business model here with double-caffeine drinks is to make their customers pee it all out again as quickly as possible so they quench their resulting thirst by buying another, and another...

I guess the advert didn't show any of the happy coffee drinkers running for the bathroom and just left that to the imagination with their "twice the go" slogan. Right, Fred?

I tend to favour Costa or Cafe Nero. Although I've not done it for a while I'ver occasionally sat in a Costa somewhere in the North of England where I can see the queue for the toilets. It's in a busy city centre and it's usually been at weekends so there's never been any lack of bladders waiting to be emptied.
