Maybe there could be a tendency to be fussy about drinks among people with AS, but what taste they like might be totally dependent on individuals. It's just my opinion, not based on any statistics.
That is exactly why I asked this.... trying to get a little bit of data to see if there is any pattern
Results? So far, no apparent pattern.
NT's I've been asking the same question around me are usually very picky about their drinks. Maybe we're a little more set in our pickiness, is the only thing I could tell.
Maybe off topic here, but there is a strange phenomenon here in Ontario, Canada:
Tim Horton's It's pretty much just a normal coffee & snack shop, like the dozen other chains we have on every corner. But *every* Tim Hortons has a giant line-up around it, all day and every day. While the other coffee shops are mostly half empty. Sometimes the city even changes the road around a newly opened Tim Hortons, because the line-up of cars can actually back up the entire street!
And people around here just have to have their Tim Hortons coffee in the plain paper cups. They won't brew the Tim's coffee at home, not even in the Tim's own brewer they sell. It got so funny that we began theorizing that Tim's puts some sort of addictive substance in their cups
..... and these people sitting in the line-up, sometimes for ten minutes and late for work, for a paper cup of coffee, are NT's !
You don't want to get me started on TH, I don't understand this either and my moms one of the people you speak of, I hate the place the baking is always par-baked, small sized and stail and the atmosphere inside is horrible since the last or secound last rebrand, very bad value!
One singer songwriter I know of refers to the coffee is a cup of crack, claiming it as the addictive substance you speak of since meny of the people buying it claim to not prefer it. TH also often fails blind taste tests so the obsession really puzzles me too, even more so since Mickey D's often gives theres away for free.
The home brewer was just a cheap re-brand of a chinese knock-off and was recalled at least once I recall. If you want a coffee shop coffee brewer go to a restarant closeing auction and buy the real thing.
