my sister uses a flip phone instead of a smart phone so she pays more attention to the people around her instead of staring at a screen all day. people dont realize how much they actually use their smartphones instead of listening and talking to the people around you.
I hate to break it you, but your sister is a fucking drug dealer Wake up and smell the marijuana
My boyfriend uses a flip phone. He’s most certainly not a drug dealer. Pretty sure he just doesn’t get a nicer phone because he doesn’t need one.
Can someone give me a real reason why we can’t serve the cold brew concentrate without water?
I work in a Target Sbux and the only info we got was saying we couldn’t serve no water cold brew because nutritional information regarding caffeine content, but we can add extra shots of espresso to anything, changing caffeine content. You can add pretty much anything to any drink and it adjusts the nutritional content, and customers understand that “risk”. So why is that the reason?
Is there another, legitimate reason?
I looked online and saw partners suggesting it was so we didn’t run out, or because it’s not meant to be served that way (like refresher juice), or even it will make you sick.
I work in an area with very… uhh… obnoxiously inquisitive/paranoid customers. So I really want a more viable reason than “corporate said no” to head off the more… uh… sensitive customers.
Anyone able to offer better logic?
The real reason is because 1. It’s double brewed to act like a concentrate. 2. It only yields about 12 liters of coffee, and since they take twenty hours to brew at a time it really isn’t cost effective and doesn’t maximize sales. If every other person ordered ventis with no water then it would equal to lots of coffee waste.
Plus, it makes people unhappy when we run out of the holy nectar that is cold brew because some baristas didn’t follow corporate rules and gave out CBIC with no water.
It hasn’t caught on to “holy nectar” status at my store yet. I would call it that, but considering I’m putting pounds of caramel into every other drink ordered at my location, my customers seem to prefer hummingbird water. That’s fine by me, more for me to drink, hahah.
The cost-effective bit makes sense, though that makes Sbux sound cheap. I wonder if enough people complain they’ll allow us to sell for an extra charge, like the cost of an espresso shot or something.

Generally speaking, it’s just because that’s how cold-brew is done. I’d think that since the grounds sit longer in contact with the water it becomes a little thicker and a little stronger, so everywhere I’ve been that sells it dilutes it.
Yeah. It’s a concentrate. It’s the same reason why you mix frozen orange juice concentrate with water before drinking it. It would taste like ass if you didn’t.
It does taste horrible but, as far as I know, we’ve never been able to NOT sell someone a horrible drink if they request it. If we could I’d be slamming the banhammer on a lot of drinks!
Thanks, @barbeauxbot, for comparing it to orange juice though! I’ll keep that in mind to explain to customers when they eventually ask.
tinyhipsterboy, I hadn’t noticed it was thicker until you mentioned it, but you’re right. I’ve made cold brew at home before but mine wasn’t so strong that I needed to dilute it. Thanks for responding!
sure everyone says theyre excited about ‘spirit week’ but the minute i awaken a few ancient spirits and raise the dead suddenly im a ‘witch’ and ‘ruining homecoming’
“A witch ought never to be frightened in the darkest forest, Granny Weatherwax had once told her, because she should be sure in her soul that the most terrifying thing in the forest was her.”
why do we have butt cheeks i dont understand why did we evolve this way
what use do butt cheeks have
oh my god I HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE
fun fact: butt-cheeks are one of the things that make us superior to other animals okay note that other apes do not have butt-cheeks
okay don’t quote me on this because I only did sixthform-bio and I’m sure of forgotten loads of stuff but here’s the down-low
back when we were evolving from ape to human, one of the most important things that happened was when our spine started meeting our brains at a sort of 90 degree angle instead of like 45 degrees, which meant that we could straighten up and walk on two legs which was a pretty rad development
except alas oh no our muscles weren’t built to allow us to walk around on two legs because that requires a sort of twisty motion of your hips as opposed to whatever the fuck it is everything else does AND SO ape-people started evolving with longer, narrower waists so that our bodies could twist with every footstep and we could strut along the fashionable catwalk that is neanderthal evolution
but then once this had happened, people realised that we had an advantage over other animals and we would be better at chasing and killing them but we weren’t very good at running
so that’s when we developed the glutenus maximus which is a really badass-sounding name for the muscle in your derriere which helps us to support our spine in an upright position so we don’t get tired, and helps the legs to rotate nicely so that we can run, and has a nice big fat storage around it to help us get energy so that we can run
and that, basically, is the butt-cheek
tl;dr - butt-cheeks were the result of thousands of years of natural selection so that we could run fast and slaughter things
thank you so much for such a fabulous, informative and detailed explanation on the evolution of the butt
i feel enlightened and empowered to know my butt is for such a worthwhile purpose, so thank you
