Shiftheads - A Love Letter to Starbucks’ Vanilla Bean Scone (and Kenny G)

What happens when your favorite treat disappears from the menu? Ryan O’Donnell joins Shane Hewitt to share the heartfelt (and hilarious) letter he wrote to Starbucks after the loss of his beloved Vanilla Bean Scone—and then compares it to a version written by ChatGPT. Which one makes the stronger case? Along the way, Shane suggests Ryan take his letter-writing talents to a new audience: Kenny G. It’s a playful conversation about snacks, nostalgia, and the art of the written word.
