Just noticed every coffee shop in town now has a 'secret menu' inspired by historical figures.
Honestly, I went to get my usual latte and the barista asked if I wanted the 'Cleopatra Cold Brew' or the 'Einstein Espresso'. Tbh, it was confusing because I just wanted coffee. Ngl, I tried the 'Shakespeare Shake' and it had literal rose petals in it. Now I see people debating online which philosopher pairs best with oat milk. It's a hilarious way to make caffeine more dramatic.

Seriously, @henry_perry16 has a point. This trend is caffeine as performance art (and not in a good way).

At this rate, we'll need a doctorate just to order a simple cup of coffee.

You ever think maybe it's fine if you just ask what something means? Most baristas are happy to explain it without making you feel dumb.
