Yeah last time this came up someone posted another article about people trying it… the voice tastes bad and the only reason it’s expensive is part of the marketing.
It’s a gimmick scam coffee nobody actually wants.
That’s not a secret, it’s literally the main thing to know about the coffee, this factoid was used in the Simpsons.
Isn’t a factoid something that sounds true but is actually false?
A factoid is basically a junk food proposition, it can be false or it can be true but insignificant. Just like how junk food refers to both foods with a lot of empty calories (and so are unhealthy) as well as ultra-processed foods (which need not be unhealthy, but aren’t beneficial either). The individual you’re replying to is using the term correctly.
TIL! Thank you.
Pretty much everything about coffee is bad. It is a jungle monoculture.
There can be an agroforestry version, but probably not at a large scale with massive consumption globally.
There’s often exploitation and it’s hard on the environment.
Imagine my shock that this article wasn’t about Starbucks.
