Behind the scenes, Starbucks has secrets. Some of them are charming, some surprising, and some a little weird. We’re peeling back the cup sleeve…
Dinnertime in 1970s Maine had its own rhythm. You’d hear the rattle of the pressure cooker, the hum of the Harvest Gold refrigerator, and the slam of the screen door as someone yelled, “Wash your hands!” No one was counting calories or snapping photos of their plate.

But let’s say things go a little sideways in Colorado and the United States as a whole. We’re not necessarily talking about bunkers and gas masks (unless that’s your…
