Different worlds? Okay. Still, I gotta see what I'm working with here since the last time I was in a place with people from whatever universe was at 1 AM at the coffee shop and everyone had the grand idea to suddenly order Neapolitan frappuccinos. So here's how I'm going to narrow down and categorize all of you for my sake.

First off, how do you pronounce GIF? With a 'g' or a 'j'

Answer carefully 😉😉😉

(and if you don't get it, don't worry about it, you just get sorted into the other category)

Greetings Midnightespresso,

I offer my answer, though it doesn't require much consideration simply because it's neither way. I've never had to pronounce that word. As far as I am aware we don't have those where I am from. Although I am sure that I am not the first person who has never come across that term previously. However, if you have the time would you care to explain what a GIF is? Also what those Neapolitan frappuccinos are?

👋

And greetings to you hongyu!

Well, if you don't have gifs in your world then you're in the category where it doesn't exist. And that's totally fine! One less thing to worry about. It's just a moving looping image. I guess depending on how long we're stuck here, you'll come across it sooner or later.

And a frappuccino is a blended iced coffee drink. Though it doesn't have to have coffee in it. It's served in cafes and great as a sweet and cool treat for a hot day.

Neapolitan refers to a trio of flavors that are usually found in ice cream; chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry!

Hope that helps.

👋

That may not be entirely true. There is one thing you have left me to wonder, what is the proper pronunciation? Unless it makes no difference and this is just a matter of personal choice? In that case. Well, I won't make a decision until I come upon one of these images. Even then, it won't be a permanent choice. Would I be correct to assume that it is acceptable to switch between the two?

As for this drink, how do you believe it serves a person best? Would you people mostly drink this beverage to cool themselves down or due to the flavor? Just out of curiosity. Although, I suppose I could judge for myself. This too is a matter of coming upon a frappuccino and then having a taste for myself.

Might I be allowed to ask why this particular combination of flavors has earned such a name?

And yes, you've been completely helpful. I won't forget any of the knowledge you impart upon me.

If you ever meet me in person, I'll tell you how to pronounce it. You could look it up but I don't want to assume you're accustomed to this texting technology already.

Sometimes people just have a preference for cold drinks regardless of the weather! That said, cold drink sales do rise when the weather turns hotter so you know, obvious correlation there.

And I'd have to look up the history of the flavor name. Bit of a blind spot there.

You're welcome, glad I could help.

That may take me a moment, so I am grateful there are no assumptions regarding my ability. While I am not fully acclimated to using this technology, I am making an effort to understand this device's full functions. It may take some time but I think I have made some progress, after all, I am communicating with you.

And yes. I can imagine why. Perhaps if the opportunity arises then I would like to share such a drink with my childhood friends. Although that would require them to be here, and that's not something I would wish for them.

Please, I should be thanking you when you have gone out of your way to answer my questions and have offered to go as far as to research the history behind that flavor's name.
