Cinnamon & Ultra-Caramel Double-Javanilla Mocha

Independientemente de la calidad del oscuro y aromático líquido, me llama la atención la campaña The Way I See It, que lleva a cabo la empresa colocando en el exterior de los vasos una pequeña "cita textual" de algún famoso (músicos, deportistas y celebridades del calibre del Pato Zambrano, David Páramo, La Chiva, Faitelson o Jolette) que invita al bebedor a posar como filósofo veraniego y reflexionar en consecuencia. No obstante, los ejemplares que pasaron por mis ojos no lograron su objetivo.
Horas después de yo mismo haberme percatado de esta campaña, leo un artículo en un periódico local acerca del mismo asunto pero corroborando algunas de mis sospechas. Este artículo incluye algunas joyitas de reluciente lucidez intelectual extraídas directamente de los vasos auténticos The Way I See It, las cuales comparto a continuación:
Michael Medved, radio talk-show host.
"Americans spend an average of 29 hours a week watching television ... which means in a typical life span we devote 13 uninterrupted years to our TV sets! ... Cutting down just an hour a day would provide extra years of life — for music and family, exercise and reading, conversation and coffee."
Rita Golden Gelman, author "Tales of a Female Nomad".
"Without risk, nothing new ever happens. Without trust, fear creeps in. Without serendipity, there are no surprises."
Alice Randall, novelist and first black woman to write a No. 1 country song.
"Mother-love is not inevitable. The good mother is a great artist, ever creating beauty out of chaos."
Erykah Badu, musician.
"The wise healer endures the pain. Cry. Tears bring joy."
Nikki Giovanni, poet.
"Hot allusions. Metaphors over easy. Side order of rhythm. Message: If you want to be a poet you've got to eat right."
Jonah Goldberg, editor National Review Online.
"Everywhere, unthinking mobs of 'independent thinkers' wield tired cliches like cudgels, pummeling those who dare question 'enlightened' dogma. ... Cliches begin arguments, they don't settle them."
J.A. Jance, crime novelist.
"When I began writing, the words that inspired me were these: 'A writer is someone who has written today.' If you want to be a writer, what's stopping you?"
