The Starbucks Quantum Singularity Mug
![]()
Once in a while when I feel like drinking a cup-o-java-juice, i’d stop by the nearest starbucks for a venti (That’s large for all those who doesn’t know starbucks lingo). It just happened I just had to come across the strangest nut job I’ve ever seen. As I was walking my way to the counter this old guy cuts in front of me. And although I was a bit miffed, I though to myself, I’d rather wait a few minutes than have an argument with a old geezer in a public place. So as I waited behind him, I couldn’t help but hear him order (french) pressed coffee to go. Now the dilemma… Strike freedom fans would know that the word venti on the gundams forehead means twenty.

Suffice to say a venti cup would contain 20 oz. However this guy ordered a 32 oz drink. No problem, the guy at the cashier offered to pour the extra 12 oz in another cup. But wait just a cotton picking minute…why should customers be burden with carrying a second cup? So this guy suddenly decides to gives a fit! He was adamant in having all his 32 oz in the 20 oz venti cup. Now you need not be a rocket scientist to figure out that it ain’t gonna happen. not unless starbucks comes up with some sort of a mug with a black hole in it that could bend time and space. Yet still, it came to the point where the guy calls the manager out to somehow think of a way to pour his drink into a single cup. The manager tries to explain that it was simply impossible. This goes on and on for a while, until at last the geezer agrees to the two cup solution. Geez!
