Avocados might be nice, but they're also bourgey as fuck.
It's safe to say the fruit is filed with houmous, granola and quinoa, as the type of food you make a point about eating if you read the Guardian, ride a single-gear bike and follow a strictly gluten free, vegan diet.
So it'll probably come as no surprised that middle-class hipsterdom has combine the avocado with every Poppy and Hugo's favourite hot drink to create the 'avolatte'...
Yes, you're seeing that for real, it's a latte being drunk from a fucking avocado.

Who the fuck knows why it's being done - but my hope is it will inspire the I-drink-my-plain-old-instant-coffee-out-of-a-normal-mug proletariat to unite and take over: you have nothing to lose but your #HealthyEating-free chains.
lt comes after a worrying trend emerged due to people are using really sharp knives to peel avocados. Yup, the knives are going straight through their hands/fingers.
Don't believe me?

If you search for avocado injuries on Instagram, there's a fuckload of them. This following picture is so gross that it has been blurred but I'm sure you can use your imagination...

Speaking to the Times, David Shewring, vice-president of the British Society for Surgery of the Hand, said: "Recently the health benefits of avocado have been advocated, with an increase in their popularity - and a consequent increase in related injuries."
Believe it or not, it's a real issue. Simon Eccles, honorary secretary of the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, reckons that he sees around four patients a week at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for avocado hands.
Eccles said: "It needs to be recognisable. Perhaps we could have a cartoon picture of an avocado with a knife, and a big red cross going through it?"

Yeah, maybe a career move to marketing isn't in the pipeline just yet, but his heart's in the right place.
Be careful out there. Nothing is safe. Not even avocados.
