Notcha my Matcha

Recently, a close friend, Melva, introduced me to Matcha, a drink from Starbucks that costs only $.88, and is basically the eighth wonder of the world (supposedly). *See this article for more information: http://elitedaily.com/life/culture/matcha-good-mind-body-soul/1007068/

I tried it, liked it, and started drinking it like it was going out of style. Well, apparently, the exact opposite is happening, and Starbucks literally more than tripled the Matcha price this week. From $.88 to $2.65? Seriously, Starbucks?

Lessons to be learned here:
*Don’t try to be healthy. Just order the damn S’mores Frappuccino, Bev. And figure out which one (tall or grande) is a ‘medium’ so that you can ‘cut calories’ by not getting a Venti solely because that’s the only size you can remember.
*Don’t play the lottery anytime soon.
*Damn the man.

I’m writing a letter.¹
