Coincidence?  I think not.

I heard once that Starbucks is the new bar - an alternative to the nightlife mingling that we are all accustomed to.  It makes sense.  No dress code.  Open late nights.  Great ambiance.  And the classic pick
up line can still be applied: what are you drinking?  Supposedly, your drink of choice is very revealing about your personality.  Could it be the same for Starbucks drinks?   If so – this could be an easy way to
determine whether the guy / girl sitting across from you is worth more than a $5 cup of designer Joe.  Here's the Top Five Starbucks Drinks.... and what they reveal about you.

 1)      Grande Black coffee

Tradition and simple.  A black cup of coffee is as classic American as John Wayne or Marilyn Monroe.  This is someone who prefers bitter to the sweet.  A realist with substance. Probably exceptional at playing
chess and discussing Aristotle.  There are three reasons to drink black coffee: to wake up, to stay up, or to get up.  Hopefully, you will want this person to do all three.

2)    Quad Shot Venti Latte extra hot with a bit of foam

Whoa - did you get all that? When a Starbucks request is longer than Obama's victory speech, there could be a potential problem. Two words: high maintenance.  Detail-oriented is a plus, detail-overdose is not.
The person who orders this drink will not be someone to go with the flow or accept change.  They will be a control freak / perfectionist set in his or her ways without the capability to change.  And worse - probably a Republican.

3)       Mocha Frappuccino with extra whip

At first, it's sugary and sweet.  But once the ice melts - there's nothing left but froth.  Most likely, a conversation with this person has the same melting effect.  This isn't a real coffee drinker.  This is a person who actually hates the taste of coffee but wants to be considered trendy and cool enough to carry an Sbucks drink.  A better choice for them would be Tasti-Delite.  A better choice for you would be someone with taste.

4)         Soy Chai Latte

Health conscious and environmental friendly.  They carry a 'Whole Foods' tote and graduated with a college degree that is useless (art history anyone?)  This person is probably in remarkable physical and
mental shape - all thanks to yoga.  If you're up for a 7 AM sun salute and prefer wheat grass shots to tequila shots, this could be a match.

5)       Seasonal Holiday Drink

Temporary and fleeting.  This person prefers a drink that only comes once a year for a limited amount of time.  Translation: commitment phobe.  He or she gets bored easily.  The basic coffee menu isn't good enough.  They prefer exotic varieties ... pumpkin spice latte, peppermint mocha twist, espresso truffle, you get my point.  Be cautious around this one.  Seasons change ...

(Note: the above personality analysis is not based on fact, only assumption fueled by my own caffeine addiction.)
