I enjoy on occasion pointing out to people how the worlds most popular drink is a rather acidic stimulant infused with CO2 that comes in pressurized aluminium canisters. The present is weird.

How about when Arthur Dent tried to explain tea to the ship's computer, and it was baffled that he wanted the flavor of boiling water poured over leaves and mixed with a fluid squirted out of the bottom of a cow?

  The computer was not baffled but took up the whole ship's computing resources to make the tea there by causing the ship to go out of control. On a second thought yeah it was baffled.

Coffee?

  I was thinking Coca Cola, but coffee is pretty weird too :) I don't really have much to back up "most popular beverage", but I recall reading somewhere that the phrase "coca cola" is the most universally recognized fragment of speech in the world. Technically I suppose water would be more "popular", but different languages tend to have their own words for that.

  What kind of coffee are you drinking that comes in aluminum canisters? Genuinely interested.

    Very common in Japan, where you can buy all manor of drinks from vending machines on the side of the road, everywhere you go.

      I've seen not only drinks but food as well. Even soup and gold can be bought through vending machines.

    In the US and Canada at least, a popular coffee company named Starbucks sells canned coffee-based beverages (although not in their own shops, I think).

    I'd like to know what kinda coffee is carbonated, myself. Then again, I've heard of some interesting soda flavors. There may be more of those than of ice cream.

Is it weird or psychological? Our capability under capitalization? Our mastery, we use high-value materials with legal psychoactive ingredients? Or weird we are altering and mastering our minds? Or weird if we do not?
