Ever seen the drive through coffee shop Ellianos Coffee when you are in Florida, Alabama or Georgia and wondered what they’re all about?
I wondered too, so I looked them up to see what the story behind this small coffee chain in the southeastern US. Turns out they’ve been around for more than 20 years, because they were founded in 2002. So it’s not a new chain at all. They are a highly established business.
Maybe you’re wondering, did Starbucks and Rolex do a collaboration watch?
The answer is unfortunately, no. The real story behind the name is that different Rolex watch models have various nicknames based on how they look.
This watch is officially the Rolex Submariner Date 126610LV model, which was released in the year 2020. But here’s the deal! You can see that the bezel is a very bright green color that looks almost just like the Starbucks logo color. So it earned the nickname, Starbucks Rolex. (Some people also call it the Kermit Rolex.)

If you think of hot coffee when you think of Starbucks, you’re behind the times. In the United States, it’s all about the cold drinks!

I was recently at Dutch Bros, and I decided to try a few of the weird-sounding popular drinks that everyone seems to be drinking. The Shark Attack was at the top of the list because what even is it? The name gives you no real hints about what kind of a drink it even is.
Well, it turns out that the Shark Attack is NOT a coffee drink. It’s an energy drink. You can get it two different ways. Just as a drink with ice, or blended. I chose blended, because who doesn’t love blended ice types of drinks? They are so slurp-i-licious.
But “energy drink” still doesn’t tell you much. What’s in it? What does it taste like? What’s the point?
