关于星巴克你所不知的5件事

Nowadays you can find four on every corner, but back in 1971, Starbucks was just another coffee place bringing caffeine to the sleepy masses. Frappuccinos were still 24 years away, the stock market wasn't even a consideration, and no one knew what the hell a Pumpkin Spice Latte was. Obviously a lot happened in the ensuing four decades, so we thought we'd bring you up to speed on the highlights from Starbucks' nautical-themed history.

如今你可以在任意街角轻松找到四个咖啡馆，而在1971年，星巴克仅仅是一个人们为了解决犯困问题才去购买咖啡因的咖啡馆，法布奇诺(星冰乐)也是24年后才有的，星巴克老板更没有考虑过上市问题。也没有人知道南瓜味拿铁是什么东西。很显然，在过去的40年里星巴克发生了很大的变化，所以我们想要带你一起来快速回顾一下星巴克的海洋主题历史。

That'd be Gordon Bowker (a writer), Zev Siegl (a history teacher), and Jerry Baldwin (an English teacher). Wanting to bring the best coffee to Seattle, they opened the first Starbucks in 1971 in Pike Place Market. It only sold beans at first, but that would change once Schultz stepped in.
