Have you heard about the latest from Starbucks? It costs $7 a cup and is said to give drinkers a "tingly, light" feeling, according to a report in the LA Times. Comedian Jimmy Kimmel runs a comparison and gets some entertaining results.

Starbucks has rolled out a high-falutin' $7 cup of java in the Pacific Northwest. Made from rare Geisha beans, the Finca Palmilera brew is said to leave a "tingly, light" feeling, according to a report in the LA Times.
