Here are a few things to think about next time you make yourself a cup of C8H10N4O2 (FYI that’s the caffeine molecule)
Without coffee…you might have
- not gotten up the morning of your SAT’s and failed them, leading you to missing out on going to college.
- a less than productive day at work. If you are one of these people with a “don’t talk until 3 cups of coffee have been consumed” stamped on your head in the morning then you know what I am talking about
- Never met new friends. It increases adrenaline and overall chattiness making you become a friendlier person. Alternatively, you could meet someone at Starbucks and bond over knowing each others names.
- Saved a pretty penny but never made self discovery. After a certain amount of this drug is consumed, you can say the darnedest things, some of which can be proven valuable. Think about it. Perhaps iPhones or Google wouldn’t have happened if the people on the team didn’t have enough coffee consumed.
- ACTUAL saved a pretty penny. Or not. If you weren’t using coffee every morning to get you out of bed, or to kick your day off, you might have wasted it all on something else, such as taxis because you were running late, or red bull which is twice as unhealthy and probably 3 times more costly.
- A different kind of self discovery. Whether you drink it by the barrel or sip it from an espresso cup, over the years we have poisoned our palate with the cheaper brands. On the contrary, we can compare a few different blends now, and even if we aren’t proper coffee snobs, we have a new awareness of them.
