I found this article on msnbc.com about how due to the success of the McCafe McDonalds is planning on selling lattes and other drinks of that nature. Apparently they want to become a beverage destination and not just serve beverages as afterthoughts. So I found this article interesting because I knoww quite a few people with starbucks addictions but cant really see them going to mcdonalds the same way. McDonalds doesnt have the same feel or reputation. Also because I know we have discussed the role of fast food in society, and think this article ties in kind of interestingly. How could expanding into the overpriced beverage market affect the role of the fast food restaurant? Also will people who go to starbucks but dont frequent Mcdonalds start going there for drinks and then start buying the food? I dont know, I just thought this was kind of interesting.
