Could This be the Very First Starbuck’s?

We coffee fanatics would like to salute those who paved the way over a thousand years ago! Okay, so I'm leaving out a few pieces to the puzzle. I blame it on the caffeine jitters!

Actually I just thought it was kind of cool that researchers have found that more than 1,000 years ago, ancient civilization were trading drinks containing caffeine among what is now modern-day Mexico and south and southwest portions of the current U.S.

A University of New Mexico professor says it's an exciting discovery, and that caffeine was likely used in rituals and political events.

I'll bet the static in the speaker at the drive-thru was horrendous back then!  DB
