And then in other cases, certain people believe, ‘Well, this is a really affordable premium experience.’ Because they’re saying like, ‘Well it’s less than $10 and I get a really premium experience

The premium experience being that you get a nice looking cup of over sweetened drab. It's shit, it tastes like shite, buy hey, it's an experience that you can post on Instagram or whatever the fuck hipster influencers post their crap these days
