While watching the Jimmy Kimmel clip I found it kind of funny because he had started out saying that Starbucks now has released their most expensive drink which is 7$. He then says that they are asking coffee drinkers to drink from 2 cups to determine which one is the 7$ coffee. Just know that they did not put the 7$ coffee in either cup it’s just simple coffee for both.
The people then start drinking the coffee to determine which is which, and this is what I find hilarious. All of them except for one had thought that one of the cups was the more expensive one. Whether it be cup A or cup B they all thought it was one or the other. Their reasoning for it is because it was much more stronger and smoother or that it was a very rich flavor. These were all of the responses that they had to the coffee. Until the very last guy came up he tasted both of them and said their exactly the same. I had started laughing because 1 out of 5 or 6 participants had got it right. They are both the same. This definitely did surprise me and the reason is because I feel like people would like to sound more like a know it all I guess you could say. They want to look good and show they know which one is which. The other people are just ones who like to fit in/ blend and try to know it all, but when it came down to the last guy he instantly knew that they were the same. I would not pay 7$ for a coffee that is outrageous but some people are like that. I can make my own at home with very little time.
