The cult of Starbucks

I'll admit it, I'm a Starbucks drinker. The hippie in me wants to get my coffee only from a fair-trade, organic, small farmer owned, locally grown, co-op of righteous young hipsters who smell of patchouli, wear their hair in dreads and have weird, ironic tattoos.


But the reality is that Starbucks is right around the corner from work, the people who work there are incredibly nice and super-fast, and the coffee I get is always, always, completely consistent.


I can still laugh at myself about my addiction to the coffee-crack of America, though. And now you can too-- take this quiz to see what your Starbucks drink says about your personality.


I warn you, though-- it's the type of quiz for me: a quasi self-hating hippie who drinks Starbucks claiming irony, but really seeking convenience.


I drink a tall Americano. Let the results speak for themselves.

I'll have you know that this is what the oracle told me, and I am not very happy about it!

Personality type: Clueless

You don't go to Starbucks much; when you do you just tag along with other people since you have nothing better to do. You would like to order a Tazo Chai Crème but don't know how to pronounce it. Most people who drink Venti Mocha are strippers.

Also drinks: Wine coolers
Can also be found at: The mall

Just so you don't feel bad, here's mine:

Personality type: Asshat

You carry around philosophy books you haven't read and wear trendy wire-rimmed glasses even though you have perfect vision. You've probably added an accent to your name or changed the pronunciation to seem sophisticated. You hang out in coffee shops because you don't have a job because you got your degree in French Poetry. People who drink tall Americano are notorious for spouting off angry, liberal opinions about issues they don't understand.

Also drinks: Any drink with a foreign name
Can also be found at: The other, locally owned coffee shop you claim to like better

Sara! I am shocked. Next time I run into Chris Martin and Gwyneth, I'm totally telling on you.

Not sure how far you are from Walnut Street, but check out Joe Coffee Bar (http://www.joecoffeebar.com/). And maybe brush up with Co-op America's 'Guide to Fair Trade.' http://www.coopamerica.org/PDF/GuideFairTrade.pdf

But don't be sad, Caitlin, I got the same result (ok ok, so I drink it, too).
