Cold beverages in coffee shops

I don’t drink coffee. I’ve never even tasted the stuff.

I think my life has been simpler and happier as a result.

But knowing full well how people obsess over coffee, I’m more than willing to take full advantage of this obsession in any way I can, which is why I’m a Starbucks shareholder.

If I’m never going to drink coffee, I might as well profit from everyone else who drinks it.

But here’s a fact you might not know:

Cold drinks make up 80 percent of Starbucks sales.

Dunkin Donuts also sells more cold beverages than hot.

Speaking of a love for cold coffee, if you’ve never had the pleasure of watching the news report on the 2016 fire inside a Dunkin Donuts in Shamokin, PA, please take two minutes and enjoy. It’s the last minute of the story that most people find especially entertaining, but I think the whole damn this is hilarious.

Also, it’s real. The first time I saw it, I was sure it was a spoof of some kind. But no, everything about the story is authentic.
