Where the fuck is this??
I live in one of the most expensive places on earth (Switzerland), and I’ll spend 2.50 on a coffee and 300 on a phone every 6-7 years.
How the hell do people afford 7 buck coffees and 1k phones???
How is that a coffee?
That’s like the rich ppl expensive sugar drink no? Is that what americans call coffee?
Where I live u easily pay 10usd for those drinks.
By coffee I mean a mug. (With maybe milk and sugar).
That's how the corporations figured out how to make more money on coffee. Through advertising, influencers, and the addictive qualities of sugar, many people who drink "coffee" are actually drinking very little of it and instead are having very unhealthy sugary milkshakes (with or without real milk).
