We don’t control whom — or what — we fall in love with. I fell in love with Starbucks’s cold foam iced cappuccino
tagging me in posts about ramen foam, and strangers explaining the virtues of at-home foam with blenders and canned foams and doo-dads. The internet can be somewhat of an abyss, and while Instagram fans of Disney Parks, my usual journalism beat, comprise what’s easily one of the cozier corners of the platform, there’s a sense of teamwork among the cold foam crowd from our ceaseless attempts to get something done. Something about those feel-good ties feels warmly communal.
I never felt so tapped into a group of like-minded people until I began covering theme parks five years ago. Still, even with a fellowship of Mickey fans, nothing in my career has compared to the camaraderie from fellow foamers that’s now enveloped my daily existence.
This enigmatic journey through the skim-milk fog grew into a digital gang of iced espresso obsessives that I feel at home within both digitally and in real life, even if it’s now met its demise. I may never again receive the exact drink I want at Starbucks, but I’ve gotten an entirely new community of friends — and hey, that’s better than a glass of espresso and perfectly frothed nonfat milk.
