Starbucks’s secret Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink.

If you haven’t had breakfast (or if your coffee is your breakfast) you can always combine the two along with some sweet childhood nostalgia in this sugary Starbucks drink.

According to Totally the Bomb, you can get the Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink by ordering a Venti White Chocolate Mocha, either hot or iced, depending on your preference. 

Then, ask the barista to add in two pumps of White Chocolate Mocha syrup and three pumps of Cinnamon Dolce syrup. 

Once all the syrup is mixed together, simply top the drink with whipped cream, a dusting of cinnamon, and a sprinkle of Sugar in the Raw.

The end result is a drink that tastes exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, complete with sugar crystals and real cinnamon. 

The next time you are in line at Starbucks, wondering what to order, don’t forget to pull out the secret menu and give this sweet cinnamon drink a try.

"Swing that light-saber, Ben--" and the Death Star attacking individuals.

Was it required at that time that the writers of the Marvel version had actually seen the films?

Dear god, this seems so surreal. Even the sign on the wall says “the video monitor must remain at all times.” I’m reading their chipper tone in contrast with the thought there must be a pandemic going on outside - even though there’s nothing to suggest one is happening on the page.

I just got this book in the other day in a lot at work. I remember flipping through and going “wait….when was this written?”

[superinframan]

Right? The whole thought process that could have lead to that page being created in 1997 is just crazy.

You know me, of course, I think people who are living in a flow of creativity and making art are connecting to something fundamental in the universe and making predictions more accurate.

I’m sure this is true of anyone who devotes time to being creative, and it doesn’t have to be art, it could be music ,or writing, woodworking, etc. Anything that gets you in that headspace of creating.

I think the fact that comics are presented a bit more literally, and published somewhat immediately and regularly, you’re going to see more things predicted that turn out to be accurate. One reason is simply the law of numbers, as novels aren’t always published near the time they’re conceived and changes/editing may erase something that was accidentally prescient. Music and other art is more figurative in communicating, and may not have wide audiences to see or hear it. Comics are published enough that they’re just going to have better odds.

Bur then you get some eerie shit in a Jack Kirby comic and you wonder what plane he even operated on.

Perhaps he used magic, the story was written by George Gladir, the creator of Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
