New Changes Announced for Minnesota-Based Caribou Coffee Menu

If you and I haven't met yet, there are a few things that you should know.  First, I've lived in the freezing cold state of Minnesota for 23 years.  (I grew up in the state below and trust me, Iowa's winters are worse.)  Second, I AM the Coffee Queen of the Land of 10,000 Lakes!

Right now a few of you are starting to ask Siri "Who is the Coffee Queen of the Land of 10,000 Lakes" because you had no idea this was a real thing.

Because I've got all the latest info on the coffee news in the Midwest, I just had to share it with you...Caribou Coffee has been up to something pretty tasty.

Minnesota-Based Caribou Coffee Just Announced Their Latest Holiday Drinks!

I think I had a bit of a daydream today as I was waiting for Taylor Swift's Cruel Summer song to finish up during my show on Y-105FM.  All I remember was that I started to have a bit of a craving for a chocolate, mint, and obviously, whipped cream cup of deliciousness.  I didn't know it but I think I was craving Caribou's newest drink - the Ho Ho Mint Mocha Espresso Shaker.

According to a press release from Caribou Coffee, their holiday beverages and cups showed up in style on Thursday, November 2nd at Caribou stores.  According to Matt Reiter, the Senior Vice President of Product & Procurement, they "are embracing the spirit of innovation this year with the return of Caribou's holiday beverage line-up".

What is Better - Iced Coffee or Hot Coffee?

I don't really understand the reason for iced coffee.  When it is freezing cold outside in the state of Minnesota, what makes iced coffee better than hot coffee?  Enlighten me over on my Facebook page at Jessica On The Radio.
