Same but different

This is the sweetening setup at a Starbucks in Baltimore.

I don’t know if this is actually or exhaustively true, but… I don’t think you’d ever see three different fake sugars in NZ, and I think you’d always see raw sugar there.

And related… although this place has wooden coffee stirrers, on this trip I have been reintroduced to the hell that is the little tiny plastic stirrers that don’t actually stir. I had blocked those right out of my memory.
