It's another week and another ploy by Starbucks to return to relevancy. Today, the coffee giant rolls out its new "+Energy" products: "The new ingredients can be added to any existing Starbucks handmade beverage by saying "plus energy" at the end of one's order. Baristas have been trained in how to mix in +Energy, which contains B-vitamins, guarana and ginseng ... 'It's a well-thought out and complementary flavor,' [a Starbucks spokeswoman] said, when asked how the boost would taste mixed in with coffee." Oy. [Seattle PI via Eater SF]
