...with Starbucks DoubleShot Espresso. I've seen this dozens of times within the last month, so I might as well get to share it with you. I'm really surprised that the singer for Survivor has maintained the same voice for over 20 years ( "Eye of the Tiger" was released in 1981 ).

Police were baffled when no body was found at the scene, but they decided it was best not to ask questions and just let everyone get on with their lives."

Is that the "real guy" in that spot? It's a very effective commercial.

As a sidenote, in Howard Schultz's book, he said something like Starbucks would never use traditional advertising channels... Now there are commercials on TV and billboards everywhere. Sounds pretty traditional to me. Still, it's not for the stores themselves, I suppose, just a particular product.

After watching this, I bought a whole set of Starbucks Double Shot Espressos. I love it!

I enjoyed the Quicktime short, thanks for the link. The "Double Shot Expresso" though would just be too strong for my taste.
