How come reading tea leaves is seen as this sophisticated, witchy thing but if I slam dunk an open can of Chef Boyardee ravioli onto the pavement in the gas station parking lot to see what kind of soda the old ones think I should buy, foodstuff divination suddenly isn't cool anymore?
tea is cheap and you read the leftover leaves from drinking a cup. that is some wasteful and expensive divination.
I’d be really unhappy if I stepped in a pile of spaghetti-O’s while walking into a gas station.
Plus, with an additional time preparation and consumption of tea\coffee implies, one can charm a person to better believe whatever comes in that forecast. It's an important lag psychology-wise, that also kinda involves people themselves in the said process, so they have harder times doubting it all.
ceremony is key.
