aside to the aside…
there was a ~5 year period in my life where I was traveling more than I was home, mostly internationally. Starbucks quickly became the first place I sought out because of the consistency. no matter where you are, a Starbucks coffee is going to be the same. there’s comfort in that consistency.
exactly 🤓
that is why i did it at first. Seattle kid looking for some reliable nostalgia. didn’t notice the petri dish thing until later. or more specifically, in York, Nebraska
the petri dish theory is super interesting and makes sense, going to file that one away for later. never been to Nebraska, don’t even have any preconceptions
