Transcript

Seven days ago, we said something on the Internet that we're really starting to regret. We gave away the recipe to our best selling drink rank told every coffee shop in the world to put it on their menu. Now 234 coffee shops across 24 countries are getting ready to serve this drink to their customers. And honestly, that's kinda scary. We worked really hard on this rank, and it's been super popular here in Minnesota. What if other countries don't with raspberries like we do? What if all these shops are putting their trust in us and nobody shows up? That would kinda suck. That's where you guys come in. We made a map of every coffee shop serving a raspberry Danish latte. Link's in our bio. So if there's a shop near you making it, go give it a try rank let us know what you think.
