In this fun and engaging episode of Bottoms Up, fifth-grade host Vivian Rasmussen sits down with guest Therese “Rezzie” Long to chat about one of their favorite topics—Starbucks! Together, they explore what makes the coffee shop so popular, from its friendly baristas to its cozy atmosphere filled with soft jazz.
Rezzie shares her go-to drink—the caffeine-free Strawberry Açaí Refresher, which she describes as tasting like a smoothie. The pair discuss the pros and cons of Starbucks: while prices can be a bit high, the variety of drinks, sandwiches, and treats keeps people coming back.
The episode wraps up with a creative twist, as Vivian and Rezzie invent their own dream drinks. Rezzie imagines a warm, healthy winter beverage that brings comfort on cold days, while Vivian dreams up a hot chocolate inspired by her favorite candy bar.
Through friendly conversation and laughter, the two young podcasters share their personal experiences and perspectives, giving listeners a fun glimpse into the world of Starbucks—through the eyes (and taste buds) of fifth graders.
