Starbucks... It's like a cigarette



Picture brought to you by Google


Now days people are just as addicted to Starbucks as they are cigarettes. It becomes part of an everyday routine, drink it in the morning to jump start the day, drink it at 2:30 pm when lagging at work and sometimes at 10:00 pm to hit the deadline of midnight for an assignment. Coffee goes hand in hand with a cigarette, most people smoke more while they have that hot cup of deliciousness in their hand.

For most, the aroma put off from coffee is enough. Wether it's coffee beans or fresh ground, the aroma is like the smell of rain right before it rains, but have some people taken that too far? There are numerous individuals who cannot get through a day without coffee, which is never known if that's a good or a bad thing. The news goes on and on about how if you drink too much coffee you'll get cancer and if you don't drink enough you'll still get cancer.

How do you resist though? Starbucks makes their cups and glasses fancy and fun like the brand new amusement park that opened up down the street, with the freshness seal that makes the cool POP sound when you open it. The smell flowing from the bottle that grabs you and pulls you in for another drink, but do they ever look at the contents of the drink? The calories, fats, sugars and carbohydrates go unknown to the addicted.


Overall, coffee is coffee and people are going to drink it regardless of how bad it may be for them. Just the same with anything else people are addicted to.
