    Every Starbucks in the nation will be closed for three hours on Tuesday - baristas will be trained to create the "perfect" drink.

    As long as they're open at 4:30 when I stop on my way to work for a venti unsweetened black iced tea, no water, I'm fine.

    The "perfect" Starbucks drink is nothing at all.

    It is not the perfect drink, because it didn't mention anything about mamma. Or prison.

    It's a smart ploy. Business should increase as people come in to see if the drinks are better. It might be a brief bump, but a brief bump in 7,100 stores means a lot of cash.
