Good one -- happy April fools day :-)
I'm going to go down to Starbucks and order the Plenta. I wonder if they'll know what I'm talking about...
I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but this is one day that I think we can do without, IMO
Just a big waste of time and most "pranks" are just that "pranks"
If I got the plenta Id be wired all day and then some. The micra is prefect gulp size though.
Is this Starbuck's version of Supersize me?

Exactly!
I really like some of the "pranks" and I think they take some of the pomposity out of our lives. I am an addict for a good laugh--and when they replayed a BBC 4/1 prank about the spagetti trees and the "harvest" I laughed--I'll remember that pleasant moment everytime I have the opportunity to buy spagetti and will smile. This world needs more smiles-period.

There are several other pranks I really liked, TOPEKA, etc. This is good fun. We need more.
The BBC prank about the spaghetti harvest was an absolute classic.
A little humor a day never hurts!
Two of recent memory that are my favs are from NPR. The did a piece on zip code porting (like porting a cell phone number). The other was about exploding trees in Vermont and the forthcoming maple syrup shortage.
