2nd. paid to advertise ?

@xMExONxUTUBEx - Nope, no paid advertisement. This is some trash talking for a competition between newsletters. Motley Fool Rule Breakers (which recommended Green Mountain) and Motley Fool Stock Advisor (which recommended Starbucks). I am certainly NOT endorsement material.

I would have rather watched this if it was less staged. you don't need to be next to a 'pretty waterfall'. Try to be more friendly and open while talking...

@smw381st right back at cha but i liket he teas because they are brewed not like snapple with sugar. but i like my machine (keurig) and everybody has a different opinion.

@onebeerbet

Can you understand using humor to illustrate a basic point or are you that dense?

Hint: Point was that VIA needs a way to heat water; basic flaw in plan.

You're a jackass.Lets try Keurig with pool water while camping. Wait, no power?

Hmmmm I dont know about the GMRC growing all that fast. Now theres these nifty lil K cup re-usable things floating around, which means I can dump my Folgers Mtn Roast coffee and have my Keurig kick me a fresh cup that tastes better than a Starbitch cup of coffee, and no cost of buying any brand name K Cup period. Who's really winning here?

ha ha both coffee's suck

I have no idea what the taste of the VIA is like but I can confirm the taste of MOST of the bold/dark keurig k-cups are at least as good as starbucks bold coffee's in the their stores. Starbucks prices are obscene really and they're just a few penniies away from me saying enough is enough and righting them off. The fact is, if you do the math, it only cost a few pennies for starbucks to make a coffee, So why does it cost me almost $2 for a cup. Well for me when I have to $2.01 I'm done

I'm actually pretty impressed with the VIAs. Its quick, easy & amazingly good for instant coffee. It is a bit pricey, but compared to actually getting something at a Starbucks it's not so bad. Don't get me wrong though, I only say this now because I don't own a Keurig & no longer live in New England. Back when I lived in NH, NOTHING beat a fresh pot of Columbian Supremo, Autumn Blend or Dark Magic. But til I move back North or get a Keruig, I'll deal with Starbucks, but still yearn for for GMCR

@Moonpies woah. ur the 1st YouTuber ever to reply to my comment. I HAVE A PURPOSE! My computer froze halfway and so I didn't finish watching I just came back and commented due to my terrible internet. Keep up the videos. I remember subscribing from watching your how to make money off YouTube videos. I know how much money all the YouTubers are making now exactly after asking around. I'm going to YouTube someday.
