pop quiz hotshot
Having been reminded to do so by this, I've got a question:
Which is the more ridiculous yuppie beverage fad: cold-brewed coffee or kombucha, the fermented tea product?
Recently I've been drinking a lot of one of them (but of course it would be spoiling things to say which). Remember to show your work.

Cowards!
I vote for kombucha as being more ridiculous.
I drank a lot of cold-brewed iced coffee when I was in Portland. It was pretty good, though a bit bitter.
I think that's probably the right call, too. I've never actually had cold-brewed iced coffee. Sounds good, but pretty wasteful and labor-intensive.
Kombucha doesn't even TASTE good.
It does too! It tastes like apple cider! That's made out of ruined tea!
Anyway it gives you yogic superpowers so the point about taste should be moot.
You're moot.
While I love my Kombucha, I realize that it's a silly, bad-tasting beverage with none of the health effects that it claims. Cold-brewed coffee, on the other hand, claims not to cure your cancer, and is better-tasting than hot-brewed coffee over ice. Result.
Since I'd never heard of kombucha, I'm declining to weigh in on the posed question. However, given the folkways of your tribe, I will venture a guess that you're consuming this product only after passing it through your carbonation machine, right?
