Okay I didn't write this, but it was pretty interesting since now you can decode someone by their order at Starbucks. I think all the bases have now been covered. LOL. By the way I'm a chai latte kind of guy.
Whether it’s chai, iced mocha, or just a cup of Joe, the drink your date picks says tons about your potential together. How to read between the lattes.
ant to grab a cup of coffee? It’s probably the most popular pickup line of all time. And now, thanks to one study, that first coffeehouse meeting can also act as a tea-leaf reading into your future together. “Today the type of coffee someone prefers really makes a social statement,” says Alan Hirsch, MD, Director of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation and author of What’s Your Food Sign? “With so many choices, it’s like we now have a coffee Rorschach test to gain insight into an individual’s personality.” To prove his theory, Hirsch surveyed 18,631 men and women about their drink preferences and their personalities—and found there’s a strong correlation between the two.
