5 Basic Things We Will Love Forever

Call us basic, or whatever, but there are a handful of trends, things, etc. that we will never get tired of. Whether they’re new or old we never get sick of these things!

5) Selfies

Don’t act like this isn’t true…. Your camera roll might show otherwise.

 

4) Starbucks

We all have our favorite go-to drink…

 

3) Clothes

2) Trap Music

We like to jam out to Trap music in our car while drinking our starbucks…

1) Pumpkin Spice… Everything

While I understand this is rooted under Starbucks, it deserves it’s own category. There is pumpkin spice highlighter for crying out loud.

 

I think it is safe to say that just as easy as one can find a gas station at any street intersection, you are likely to also find a Starbucks. Maybe a McDonald’s, maybe, but definitely a Starbucks. Despite Mickey D’s attempt at doing coffee, they just can’t touch the wide grip that Starbucks has on this country (and planet).

Started in Seattle but quickly made it’s way to, quite literally, the opposite side of the world in Australia, Starbucks has changed the coffee game forever. Sure, you can have your favorite mom and pop cafe down the road that somehow still gets your order wrong after all this time, but you hate consumerism so you keep going there instead of one of the 4 Starbucks on your block.

I totally get that, you should support local businesses, and more power to you. However, you’re wrong if you think that Starbucks hasn’t influenced the way everyone does coffee, how often everyone drinks it, and even how we go about ordering it. Let me explain.

When you first stepped into that mom and pop place, did you know how to order? I worked at one of those cafes before, and the amount of people that asked if we do “grande” or “venti” sized drinks were a dime a dozen. I’d politely reply, “No ma’am/sir, just small or medium.” That’s the power of Starbucks, and that’s how long they have been around to hugely influence our lives and coffee drinking habits. But you already knew all of that! What we are here to discuss is why?

A lot of people think the answer is as simple as honoring the true Italian coffee culture, and in a way they are right, but it’s not as simple as that. Thrillist recently discovered the truth behind why we are required to order in a different language. (But ‘tall’ is not Italian?)

You’re on a plane, smoke begins to start filling the cabin. People around you are starting to freak out. Some are trying to sniff the air to see what it smells like. Others are trying to signal the flight attendant. I hope she has the answer, or maybe the man in the photo got them memo. Act natural and take a selfie.

Well your car is on fire. Better start getting your distance. Hey uh Devin? What are you doing? Why are you not running away right now? He replies “Look man, I’m not going to have a car for a while. I’m going to need rides, and when people ask what’s wrong with my car I can just send them this!”

Okay wait this one is somewhat subjective. Some say if the lighting is good and you have nice black attire that you think you look good in…we can let it slide. Posting is fine IF maybe you don’t mention where it was taken. Whatever it’s funny.

It seems like everyone these days is completely obsessed with taking selfies. No matter where they are or what they are doing, everyone seems to have their phone on hand for that moment they need to capture a shot of themselves doing something crazy.

Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t use common sense when they are snapping their selfies. For example, there are those people who end up getting seriously hurt while trying to take the perfect picture of themselves doing something risky. Then there are the people who just simply forget to look in the mirror before posting a selfie.

It’s pretty obvious this girl had no idea her reflection was going to show in the picture. Well, that’s what you get when you try to snap a cute selfie while you are sitting on the toilet. Geez…just use your brain, people!

Yes, it seems like toilet selfies are pretty popular. Unfortunately for this girl it just keeps going and going and going. Yikes. Not exactly what you’d want everyone to see…but she doesn’t really seem to mind.
