I don't belong in society

I see these content creators on YouTube making these awesome coffee drinks. And whenever I go to Starbucks, which is twice a year, I see everyone ordering espresso iced with oat milk foam, or almond chia lavendar cream on ice or pistachio coconut milk with soy .... ( I think those are actual combos but don't quote me)!
Meanwhile on Baybreeze avenue, I have iced tea, iced coffee, or a soda on ice. I feel like I don't belong ....can anyone Relate????😮🤣😵‍💫😩

Nah you do belong, people hop on trends and it's a psychological thing. There's nothing wrong with enjoying those complex type flavors if one enjoys them but the trend thing where a majority seems to love it is only because of trends and advertising.

I've countless times tried fancy coffee and teas because I really wanted to see the hype but it was just ordinary. All that hype for nothing.

The psychological aspect is the reason people do those things. If you "think" this "should be" great and you want to fit in, feel fancy like you're doing something elitist, then the trick works for the most part, placebo effect. You kind of get like a special kind of vibe thing or whatever.

Advertising does that for people.

All this tells me about you is that you know yourself, you know what you like and you stick with it. Nothing wrong with that, there's things I'll eat over and over again because I like it, simple.

@SatanBurger That's a great way to view it....lots of Hype lol! I sometimes actually don't know if I do know myself very well, but I do know what I like to drink 😝

I can, 200% Welcome to the club. Their coffee might be good but nothing beats good and honest conversation between friends, that is something I can truly relate to 😁

I drink black coffee Folders or Maxwell House

Plain, ordinary and cheap

The guys at work always make fun of me because all I drink is Hot coffee with a little cream and no sugar, even in the summer when it's 93 degrees outside
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@HikingMan Do you try iced coffee sometimes in summer? It's delicious..I like it with cream and Equal.
HikingMan · 51-55, M
@Baybreeze I get iced coffee maybe 3 times a summer but only after work or in the evening.

French Vanilla - Cream only
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
I make my own black coffee. The flavor of coffee doesn't need to be candified for me. Senore! Due doppio per favore! Gratzie!
RosaMarie · 46-50, F
I drink coffee. Just coffee. With nothing in it. If it's winter, it's hot coffee. It it's summer, I might get iced coffee.

Same with tea. No milk, sugar, lemon. Just tea. Hot or iced.

So yeah, I get it.
RosaMarie · 46-50, F
Also, if I want the biggest coffee and asking for a large coffee doesn't get me that, I want to scream.

Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@RosaMarie oh wow that's hard core, nothing in coffee? I do enjoy French vanilla creamer and some Equal.
RosaMarie · 46-50, F
@Baybreeze My coffee matches my bitter soul, what can I say.
Zonuss · 46-50, M
Of course you do. Just keep going and never give up.
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@Zonuss That's very kind advice , ty Zonus🌸
This post in particular was for fun 🙂

You belong. You are witnessing societies weirdos in action at Starbucks. The more snooty complicate the coffee order.
JoyfulSilence · 51-55, M
Just plain coffee for me!

My office cafeteria has plain Starbucks. About $3 a pint.
Sapio · 51-55, M
I just have iced coffee or an Americano. You're not alone.

I went to Starbucks with my niece she goes, I want a large caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino. Girl behind the counter goes okay and for you sir? I'm going, ummmmmmmmm I guess I'll just have a cafe latte.

Meanwhile my eyes are all over that menu and I'm thinking how tf does she know what to order like that??? Then after like the 7th visit, it's in the most tiniest print on the bottom right of the menu 😑🤦
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@twiigss That's too funny that's the only thing I've ever ordered there 😃 (caramel ribbon crunch Frappuccino)
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@twiigss It used to just be called caramel Frappuccino but now they added ribbon crunch! But I don't know all these other shots and oat milk foams etc lol
twiigss · M
@Baybreeze I didn't know that!! Yeah she rattled that off like I used to say, lemme get a pack of Marlboro Menthol Ultra Lights 100's. (back when I used to smoke) She said it so fast, I'm like, HUH??? 😳
glad18 · M
I must not, either. People ask what I want in my coffee and I answer "coffee."
PatientlyWaiting25 · 46-50, F
I wouldn't bother. They all come with a sprinkling of jizz because if you order one of those, you can bet that the barista suddenly develops anger issues. I mean... Wouldn't you if you worked there and got an order like that? I will come drink a normal iced coffee with you lovely lady. Especially in this heat... I'm freaking dying here lol 🥵🥵
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@PatientlyWaiting25 I guess I can be a semi part of society, I do put creamer and Equal in my coffee ... 🤣 Yes let's share regular iced coffee all summah!!
Spacesbetweenus · 31-35, F
yeah same !I mean When I see so many choices I am confused.So I always order what Ive tried and never failed .So iced tea ,iced coffee,cappuccino and mocha and popular drinks
Nick1 · 61-69, M
Starbucks is alien territory for me. 😁
when i tell them i want whole milk they just look at me like i killed their puppy. LOL
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
I honestly don't want to belong
I like having my iced tea and hot tea using bags , and my regular coffee with coffee mate coffee creamer... In a favorite souvenir mug at home.
IM5688 · 70-79, M
I'm with you. These fancy, custom drinks have no place in my life.
You and I travel to the beat of a different drum...and hopefully will never catch up to rest of the band.
MrAverage1965 · 61-69, M
With coffee ask me two questions would you like milk and sugar. That's all it needs.
The same with a sandwich brown or white. Sliced or a roll. What the hell is it with the bread choices in Subway.
tenente · 36-40, M
I have iced tea, iced coffee, or a soda on ice.

That’s not boring. That’s healthy and normal.

espresso iced with oat milk foam, or almond chia lavendar cream on ice or pistachio coconut milk with soy

Why does this menu sound like somebody blended a forest with a yoga class? Also, can we please STOP MILKING AND CREAMING THINGS!?!?
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@tenente My sister ask me recently how DO they get milk out of almond? Lol😄
candycane · 36-40, F
i go to circle k
$2.30
GeminiRain · M
@candycane True true
candycane · 36-40, F
@Baybreeze yes it is
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@candycane I thought maybe so because there's a convenience store near me that has coffee for $2.25, it's called Cumberland Farms
nowic2 · 61-69, M
Yes, I can definitely relate. But whilst you feel you don’t belong. You are miles ahead of me. I’m not a tea or soda drinker. My main coffee intake is very basic instant coffee and that serves me quite satisfactorily.
Clearly you are much more sophisticated.
I don’t relate and I don’t care.
Baybreeze · 41-45, F
@nowic2 Wow I've never associated sophisticated with myself, but I'll take it🙂😌
nowic2 · 61-69, M
@Baybreeze Good! well done for readily accepting a compliment 🌻
