YO HAPPY THIRSTY THURSDAY.
Since these upcoming weeks are going to all end up with late nights, we thought it would be fitting to share a fact about coffee!

Did you know?
-"Americans consume 400 million cups of coffee per day. This is the equivalent to 146 billion cups each year, making the U.S. the leading consumer of coffee." (goodhousekeeping.com)
