  • Date and length fine. AGF on offline hook and have adjusted it slightly for grammatical reasons. QPQ done. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:43, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
  • Hi, I noticed this hook in the queue and wondered which chain it was. Then I saw that the source itself doesn't say. It seems you can add more specificity to this section by citing, say, Starbucks, which used over 4 billion cups in 2011. Yoninah (talk) 20:53, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
  • @The C of E and Yoninah:I have added this content to the article. So, is another review needed now, since the question mark lingers above? North America1000 07:09, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
