FAQ: That’s just how the artist draws people’s lower eyelids.
I am so much more tired of people trotting this joke out every year than I ever was of pumpkin spice.
“I like my coffee BLACK ‘cause I’m a MAN and I equate popular things that I don’t like with WEAKNESS because…because I’m deathly afraid that if I enjoy something different and fun that I might need to engage in real introspection and I’m scared about what I might find.”
I drink my coffee black because… Wait is espresso considered black? Well whatever
It’s a jab at people who foam at the mouth whenever they get mad that someone is having more fun than they are despite being totally allowed to also do the thing if it weren’t for whatever trauma they’re not dealing with.
I drink my coffee black, too, I just don’t do it because I think I’m a manly-man. It’s actually because I hate the texture of milk or cream and the sugar, to my taste, just exists beside the coffee instead of sweetening it so it’s always awful. I don’t even like coffee that much so it makes no difference either way.
Is this what you think of when people drink black coffee? Seems like a lot to unpack.
While yes, the black coffee fetishists are ridiculous too, Pumpkin Spice Latte is the "Bacon everything is my life!“ dead horse of the 2010s and 2020s that people without anything funny or otherwise interesting to say just WILL NOT shut up about!
It’s fine to like a beverage. More power to you for knowing what you like.
However, it’s only funny or otherwise interesting to make a beverage your personality if it’s Tab and you’re Brian Posehn’s character in The Sarah Silverman Program.
Shhhhh let people enjoy things. Also, very few people are even like that and you can avoid them so easily.
