Is that a pi-chai latte?

That's not pie, that coffee!

Brilliant.

It's a plain old cappuccino! I have no idea what the π is supposed to mean. If you rotate the cup 90 degrees counterclockwise (or should I say π/2 radians?) it looks like an F, but that doesn't make any sense either.

I liked the idea of archaeologists, hundreds of years from now, coming across the perfectly preserved coffee lid in a landfill, and coming up with wild hypotheses about the meaning of the symbol.

If you add whipped cream do you get a statistical pi^? (ie, the greek letter pi with a carat over it)?

Is it possible that it's a two-shot cappuccino, with hash marks for counting and an underline for emphasis?

Alternately, could it be a hieroglyph meaning that the drink is supposed to have steam rising off of it?

Mmmm. Pie. (http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk/parallel.htm)

Maybe a THC-addled barista was in the middle of writing your name on the top when he, um, oh, hey, check out the coat that chick is wearing. Dude, that's cool. What?

Yes! Thank you. Fabulous. :)
