Metric Martyrs

Growing up, many of us were too familiar with the smell of coffee in the morning and a steaming mug of it forever dangling from a grown-up’s hand. We didn’t know why coffee was so popular, but couldn’t wait till the day when we too would get to hold our own glorious mugs of the stuff. It might not taste good to us now, but soon we would be hooked.

Fast forward a few years and imagine a world without coffee. Would you even be able to get out of bed? Most coffee pots are even able to have hot coffee ready and waiting by the time your morning alarm sounds.  Even the thought of a world without coffee shops is absurd. Where else would people practice sober social interactions and schmooze among cohorts?

As an adult, it is easy to see why coffee is so popular.  Relentlessly charging the bodies of the caffeine dependent while remaining increasingly trendy, it serves as a common thread tying over 50% of Americans together on a daily basis.  The practice of drinking coffee has become forever ingrained into the culture of our society, and will undoubtedly fuel countless generations to come.
