The Four Effs

FaceBook, Phone, FourBarrel.

This is actually a Facebook ad, but the product placement in it shows specific motifs. Four Barrel, the Mission roastery/coffee shop is the local celebrity highlighted in the ad, but iPhones are also in an unspoken spotlight. Is the Facebook/iPHone combo an intentional pair? There is, however, no question about the use of 4B, that coffee shop just is that cute.
