Under News LA Weekly “The Inspirational Effects of Coffee, or: What to Drink at a TED Talk”

In what is both fodder for a future article in The Onion and an actual survey, leading “coffee retail brand” Don Francisco asked some 1,000 Americans to quantify their level of inspiration on a scale of 0 (“not at all inspired”) to 100 (“extremely inspired), taking into account internal factors (optimism, spirituality, health) and external factors (state of the world, the economy, weather). Not surprisingly, coffee drinkers are among the “most inspired” on the coffee company’s “Inspiration Index.”

Other findings: while most coffee drinkers surveyed (thankfully) are not so addicted to caffeine as to trade their cup of coffee for their jobs, cars, or sex, four out of 10 surveyed would choose coffee over alcohol or a trip to see Harry Potter or any other movie. Overall, 40% of the total number of respondents are struck by some sort of inspiration during their daily coffee break.
