"Starbucks Challenge" news and stories

On June 29th, 2007, Mark Malkoff, a filmmaker and comedian out of New York City, did one of those things that people do mostly to prove that it can be done. He went to 171 Starbucks in Manhattan in a single day and made a short film about it.

Mark purchased (spending $369.14) and consumed food or drink at every one of those Starbucks and has the receipts to prove it. He traveled around the city on bike for the first 14 hours of the tour, but became so dehydrated and disoriented from the caffeine that the film crew brought a car in to help him finish the day. He first developed the idea while passing multiple Starbucks on his way to work.
