Starbucks’s secret Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink.

If you haven’t had breakfast (or if your coffee is your breakfast) you can always combine the two along with some sweet childhood nostalgia in this sugary Starbucks drink.

According to Totally the Bomb, you can get the Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink by ordering a Venti White Chocolate Mocha, either hot or iced, depending on your preference. 

Then, ask the barista to add in two pumps of White Chocolate Mocha syrup and three pumps of Cinnamon Dolce syrup. 

Once all the syrup is mixed together, simply top the drink with whipped cream, a dusting of cinnamon, and a sprinkle of Sugar in the Raw.

The end result is a drink that tastes exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, complete with sugar crystals and real cinnamon.

You know me, of course, I think people who are living in a flow of creativity and making art are connecting to something fundamental in the universe and making predictions more accurate.

I’m sure this is true of anyone who devotes time to being creative, and it doesn’t have to be art, it could be music ,or writing, woodworking, etc. Anything that gets you in that headspace of creating.

I think the fact that comics are presented a bit more literally, and published somewhat immediately and regularly, you’re going to see more things predicted that turn out to be accurate. One reason is simply the law of numbers, as novels aren’t always published near the time they’re conceived and changes/editing may erase something that was accidentally prescient. Music and other art is more figurative in communicating, and may not have wide audiences to see or hear it. Comics are published enough that they’re just going to have better odds.
