Assignment 1-4-5

So for this popular culture assignment, we are to focus on formulas.  Not math formulas, but formulas for a specific item and mine would be a cup of Starbuck’s hot mocha coffee.  I chose this one because it one of my favorite hot coffee’s.

My belief is when I have a cup of hot mocha coffee, it starts my day off right (or if I have it later in the day, it just seems to make my day seem better).  But, the myth behind that would also be, could a cup of coffee, and it needs to be Starbuck’s, really make my day better?  I believe so.            

The setting would be in any Starbuck’s store where you can just smell the coffee and know what is to come.  But, most of the time that does not happen and I end up drinking it at my desk.  That takes away from the setting, but it sometimes allows me to do some day dreaming of being somewhere else and having my coffee.  It can take me back to when we were drinking a cup of Starbuck’s and walking along the ocean about four years ago in January in San Diego (much better than any Starbuck’s in Ohio in January!).

My ritual is on Monday and Friday, if I am lucky, I get to leave the house early enough to stop on the way to work and get my coffee.  I do this because of the feeling of starting my week off right and on Friday, it’s just that I have made it through the week and this is my reward.

I am not sure if there is a stereotype to Starbuck’s other than maybe you need to like coffee (though, they have other items).  And the formula to me is that it makes me feel good.  As for it being a hero, I guess it would have to be the same, that it just makes me feel better when I drink my Starbuck’s coffee.
