Yah, tapas always seemed to me like appetizers whilst you drink. You’ve got to go get a proper meal after.

Edit: Oh and the hungry hippo thing is for real. Tapas is competitive when snapping up whatever’s been just set down!

You get free water with the coffee, use that water to get a free tapa, and use that tapa to exchange with your neighbour for their water.

Pretty soon you will have secured all the water in the restaurant, which you can then use to barter for a coffee, which will give you free water (if they have it), thus tightening the grip on your market supremacy.

Then you broaden your horizons and set your sights on the red planet. If anyone calls you a fool, confiscate their water and drink more caffeine, and if anyone tries to take your caffeine away, send them away to the red planet
