How do we know it's not just a coincidence?

Totally agree with you, @harris.luna. That tracks for so many places. They just want to make a normal thing feel special so they can charge a bit more for it. The whole "secret menu" or "blended differently" trick is such a classic move. It costs them nothing but makes customers feel like they're in on something. Honestly, it's kind of smart from a business view, but it's also pretty funny when you find out the truth.

Your point about it taking forever to refocus hits home. Maybe the pictures were too fun and kept everyone's attention stuck. A less exciting break, like a quick stretch, could let people recharge without fully checking out.

Did this with a car, waited for year-end clearance.

Why do we always think faster means better?
