Klatchian Coffee/Playing With
- Basic Trope: Insanely strong coffee
- Played Straight: Angie orders this new and exciting coffee drink. The entire coffeehouse goes quiet, and the barista asks her, "Are you sure?" and makes the drink for her. Angie drinks it, and Intoxication Ensues.
- Exaggerated: The drink is put into a small espresso cup, but has the Caffeine Bullet Time effect of 10 espressos.
- Justified: Something has been added to the coffee to kick up the caffeine
- The coffee is made from Super Beans that have been specially bred to produce 10x the normal amount of caffeine.
- Coffin Varnish/ Student Coffee (coffee brewed using cola, energy drinks, or stale coffee)
- Inverted: Angie goes to a bar and orders herself not coffee, but a Gargle Blaster of some sort.
- Angie orders decaf or a smoothie instead, because consuming caffeine is against her religion, she's pregnant, she's too sensitive to caffeine, etc.
- Subverted: Angie drinks the coffee drink and bugs out for one moment, but feels just fine the next. Maybe a little more energized, but not bouncing off the walls (literally or figuratively).
- Double Subverted: Angie feels relatively normal after drinking it, but then when she leaves the coffee house, she sees a combination of Caffeine Bullet Time, Mushroom Samba, and Intoxication Ensues happen.
- Parodied: Angie drinks the coffee, her eyes bug out, she has an epileptic seizure, then gets up and says how great the coffee is and that she'd like another one.
- Angie has to sign a waiver upon ordering the coffee drink in question.
- Deconstructed: Possibly an Aesop about caffeine consumption, the highly-caffeinated drink leads to serious medical issues for Angie, such as a heart attack. May or may not be fatal.
- Reconstructed: If you drink enough coffee anyway, you'll be just fine drinking the Klatchian Coffee. If you aren't used to caffeine, this drink may be dangerous.
- Zig Zagged: Different people react differently to the Klatchian Coffee in question.
- Averted: Angie just orders normal coffee.
- Enforced: "Let's have Angie, that lovable little caffeine addict, order a ridiculous coffee at Moonbucks! If it works, we can turn it into a Running Gag!"
- Lampshaded: "Wow! That's some really strong coffee! What's in it?"
- "Great coffee! Tastes Like Purple."
- Invoked: Angie's roommate Nancy tells her all about this powerful coffee drink and dares her to order it.
- Defied: Angie's roommate Nancy tells her all about this powerful coffee drink and dares her to order it. Angie does not take Nancy up on this dare.
- Discussed: "Either Angie's got a deathwish, or she's a real Badass, drinking that Klatchian Coffee!"
- Conversed: "Since when do coffeehouses offer drinks like that? I'd expect that sorta thing at Carl's Bad Tavern, but not Moonbucks!"
I'll have a Klatchian Coffee to go, please!
