Starbucks Coffee Cup
Yesterday when we went out and searched for items around the
school I found a Starbucks cup. I picked it up because it reminded me about
white girls. The reason it reminded me of white girls is because stereotypically
white girls always end up gathered around Starbucks. Starbucks has successfully
taken of the major population of hipsters and white chicks. As far as why white
chicks and hipsters gather around Starbucks and spend lots of money on lattes
and Cappuccinos I will never know. Coffee isn’t even that great like maybe
black coffee but all these people are ordering lattes and spice chi vanilla frap
chinos. When and why did a spice chi vanilla frap chino ever come into existence?
Americans
wonder why they have no money…It’s probably because they are spending it on
coffee that cost more to drink then to make. You go to Starbucks and pay like 5
dollars for a black coffee which is ridiculous. At least recycle the cup because
I found one on the ground which is why I am typing this. People buy at least
one cup of coffee a day so take the cup and make art or something just don’t leave
it lying around on the ground to get run over or eventually get consumed by
some animal that finds it on the side of the road.
I have
never had Starbucks because I only like regular coffee that isn’t 5 dollars a
cup. I can go to my grandparents and get free coffee at 0 dollars a cup and
drink as many cups as I feel necessary. Plus my grandparent’s coffee is the
bomb diggity. Like its off brand coffee but its good which is something to look
forward to when you work late and decide to stay the night there instead of
driving all the way back to Springfield. Coffee doesn’t need special spice and
chemicals in it to make it good. In fact half of what they put in it might
possibly kill you maybe, I’m not sure but if I’ve never heard of it I’m not
consuming it.
I need
to start like giving white girls and hipsters to go buy coffee from my grandparent’s
because their coffee is going to be better than any coffee they will buy at
some chain of coffee venders. Plus my grandparents’ coffee isn’t going to have
unknown chemicals and spices in it which makes it probably 10 times safer to
drink. So to all hipsters and white girls go buy coffee at my grandparents’
house that way you are less likely to ingest toxic coffee spice chemicals and
more likely to give my grandparents money. My grandparent’s coffee also would
come in a ceramic mug so you won’t have any paper cups to leave lying on the
ground or to mess up the beautiful world’s ecosystem because our earth should
be clean and coffee cup-less and coffee should not be over spiced or over whip
creamed .
I like how you want coffee to go back to being simplistic. My favorite part was, "...but all these people are ordering lattes and spice chi vanilla frap chinos. When and why did a spice chi vanilla frap chino ever come into existence?"
ReplyDeleteThis is an entertaining commentary! I am not a coffee person myself (McAlister's sweet tea all the way for me), but my son has recently developed a Starbucks habit at the age of 12. Having listened to the complicated and specific orders of other people in line, I can totally see your point. I think your encouragment to return to and appreciate simplicity could serve us all well in many aspects of our lives. Thanks, Collin!
