The Starbucks Theory of Mass Insanity

For the first time in months, we discovered that even hardcore coffee drinkers might not be able to finish a small (that's English for "small") cup of Starbucks coffee.

And this undeniable fact, along with that potent brew, gave birth to a hypothesis: Starbucks expanded out of Seattle, and went public, in the 1990's.

Since then, the world has gone stark raving mad, hasn't it?

Just a coincidence?
