When it comes to our favorite legal stimulants it’s hard to beat the punch packed by a well-delivered shot of caffeine. And when it comes to our preferred delivery methods, it’s hard to deny the effectiveness of coffee. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, nothing says coffee more than Starbucks. Their latest introduction, Starbuck’s Doubleshot Energy+Coffee, is a powerful, great-tasting brew of B-vitamins, guarana, ginseng and natural proteins from milk charged up with coffee. Herbs, vitamins, proteins and a buzz? Not a bad deal. According to the folks at Starbucks, their new Doubleshot is sure to help you be at the top of your game... or at least look that way.
You can celebrate the launch of Starbuck’s latest heart-rate revving beverage -- and waste plenty of time while at work -- by heading over to
www.energypluscoffee.com. The site is packed with plenty of slacker shit like games and fake news stories that are sure to drop your productivity levels to new lows. There’s even a built-in Boss Cam that'll watch your back and let you know if anyone is lurking behind you.
And just in case wasting time at work on Starbuck’s website wasn’t enough of an incentive, you are also guaranteed a shot at one of five prize packs just for wasting some more of your time with us at BG. We want you to share your best office douchebag stories with us. Every office has the one guy (or gal) that acts the role of the Token Tool. Backstabbing, ass-kissing, gossipmongers that you’d love to run through the paper shredder if only you wouldn’t have to mop up the mess.
So write up your stories in the comment box below, and
enter your email addy here, and you’ll get a shot at winning a prize pack that includes the world’s first desktop application cloaking device: the Stealth Switch (to cover your office-web-surfing butt), a $5 Starbuck’s giftcard, Starbucks Doubleshot Energy+Coffee coupons and a Starbucks Doubleshot Energy+Coffee-branded white board for writing down all those brilliant new ideas you're about to come up with.
Now un-repress all of that pent-up internalized rage that you have against your fellow office mates and get to sharing here. We’ve heard that getting things like that off of your chest can be a bit cathartic... ok, sounds like bullshit to us, too. Besides, getting free stuff is a lot more fun than therapy. The contest ends Friday, October 30th, so you’d better stop wasting time on that damn pricing spreadsheet and get busy.
