Today marks the 16th anniversary of "Gilmore Girls." Ah, I remember watching the series with my cousin every summer afternoon on ABC Family (when that was still a thing). Feel old yet? Don't worry, Netflix is coming out with a four-part miniseries called "Gilmore Girls: A Year In the Life" which comes out on November 25th. The most exciting thing is that approximately 200 coffee shops in North America were transformed into the infamous Luke's Diner for one day. Long-time fans were able to get their fix and get pumped for the series. All of this made me think about the mentions of coffee throughout the seasons. Here are some of my favorite quotes:
1. "I need coffee in an IV."
If you were to ask me how I was doing halfway through my shift on Black Friday, this is what I'd tell you.

2. "Nothing says coffee like six in the morning."
Or eight in the morning if you're a college student asking yourself for the thousandth time why you thought it was a good idea to sign up for an early class.
3. "He's so sexy, smart, and funny, and he likes coffee."
Most importantly, he's not one of those guys that orders a caramel frappuccino with extra caramel.
4. "I stop drinking the coffee, I stop doing the standing and walking...and the words-putting-into-a-sentence-doing."
I can't function without coffee. It's a problem, I know. As far as I'm concerned, the world's got much bigger problems so I'm just going to sit here and enjoy my cup of joe.
5. "What brings you here? Caffeine withdrawal. And I like looking at you."
If you haven't flirted with the cute barista at your favorite coffee shop before, then you're lying.
6. "I'm gonna have to quit drinking coffee, and I love coffee!"
That moment when your friends try to convince you that you should try caffeinated tea instead. It's not the same, and it never will be.
7. "Do you like coffee? Only with my oxygen."
When guys try and ask you out on a coffee date and you really just want to say, "Is that even a question?" Unless it's a guy you don't like, then you run.
8. "We don't serve anything with caffeine here. And you think that's safe?"
That's equivalent to saying a bar doesn't serve alcohol; it makes no sense. Coffee is not just a beverage, it's a culture in many countries and places that do not serve it are not cultured.
9. "This is not coffee. This is a mocha chocolate caramel swirl-a-chino with extra whipped cream."
True coffee lovers can tell the difference and extra sugar just isn't going to do it for us.
10. "How many cups of coffee have you had? None. How many? Five!"
We don't like to admit our addiction unless you completely tear us apart. It's fine, really. I lose count after two, anyway.
