Starbucks vs. McDonald’s Options

[Barkmann]

So McDon {US only for now} is going to start selling all kinds of coffee like starbucks does, this should be a battle worth watching on Wall street, 2 big gaints going at it who will win? and who will not win?
Now you can get a Big Mac and a cappuccino at the same time oh boy.

Speaking as one of the formely worst junk-food indulgers in the world, now as a heathy eater I'm glad only to be going into Mac's to use the restroom - Starbuck's for me is only buying their tea / bran muffins [cheapest deal too ]..... From what I see, I don't think the big-wigs at Mac's really thought things through unless they're looking to only slightly chip away at Starbux crowd and/or aiming at those taking out their coffees. I can't see starbux regulars wanting to go into Mac's and 'relaxing' in a junkfood-brightly lit enviroment-with families all around... seems to me starbux go-ers go to starbux to relax in dimmed surroundings drinking a soothing beverage with other quiet folk.
