Reading the coffee grounds: the Starbucks Oracle

Posted by admin on February 5, 2003 at 11:13 am | 1 Comment

Jennifer Bishop has created the wonderful Starbucks Oracle, posted on her site Buttafly (a winning name–”crass, yet elegant,” says one of our very own “experts”). As Bishop defines the Oracle,

Starbucks OracleAstrology is lame and Myers-Briggs is for losers. The omniscient Oracle of Starbucks can tell you everything about your personality by what you drink at Starbucks. Simply enter your full drink order–including size–into the field below and the all-knowing Oracle will tell you everything about your personality. Better yet, input your friends’ orders to find out what they’re really like.

Best of all, “Unlike other imitations, the Oracle is 100% accurate.” Sure enough, this groggy blogger’s Oracle stated without reservation, “You probably live in California.” Thwack! Ouch, that stung.
