why do cheaper coffee establishments in new york overload beverages with sugar? is it because their clientele is supposedly lower class while gourmet coffee houses are reserved for a higher class? this is the only connection i can come up with. i remember having tea at a family friend's house with my father. as my father looked around another room the host asked how many sugars he took. i did not exactly know and said so, and the host said something along the lines of 'he's a construction worker, probably three or four.' i thought this was somewhat rude at the time but maybe there is some truth in it. when i worked in construction whenever there were breaks coffee with copious amounts of sugar would be drunk to help the donuts/cookies/muffins go down. but this is heavy labour, something which burned off the energy/calories of the sugar. what about the other people who frequent dunkin donuts, those who are not exactly blue collar workers? does this have something to do with why sainsbury's economy line is sometimes too sweet? though this is not acheived with sugar (too expensive?) but instead with sacherine (sp?). am i looking too much into this?

i have attempted (somewhat) to make friends in new york since i moved here aged 1 without much success, even after joining myspace and friendster (though i have become friends with two characters from dune. excellent i think. they shall definitely be invited to my wedding). i have not even moved to scotland yet and i already have some 'friends.' i use the word tentatively as perhaps if i do meet any of them they would find my internet persona to be so much....more? tres bizarre.
