Interesting article with maps showing every country’s favourite coffee drink in 2024. Looks like the favoourties for SIN/Cappuccino, Ireland/IrishCoffee, Norway/IcedCoffee&IrishCoffee, USA/Espresso – like them all except for Expresso

Fascinating map reveals every country’s favourite coffee drink in 2024, with the UK and Australia mad for macchiato and the U.S especially keen on espresso – but it’s a different blend that takes the overall crown… (msn.com)

Amazed&speechless with all paper goods you can buy to burn as offerings! Makes me wonder if it is possible&how to make a whole paper universe with all the materialistic values in it, ie a package-deal? As DeniseS so eloquently said –
