The last time we checked in with the Starbucks fanatic known simply as Winter (shown here), he had visited some 2,850 Starbucks locations. Now, three years later, he’s up to more than 4,500, and has “no plans to stop” tooling around America in his 1997 Honda, slurping down all the talls with two sugars he can get his hands on. Back in 2002, Winter admitted to harboring Jared-esque fantasies. “I have thought of doing commercials along the lines of ‘Where’s Winter?’ and what zany adventures I am having, trying to find the next Starbucks,” he told us back then.
