FastSnap’s position
The drink can tip the plate.
Read the cup as part of the sitting — not a free side character.
Sugary drinks, large sweet coffees, and dessert cups often:
- Don’t look like food
- Sit beside a plate that already has helping
- Become the tip while the protein stays worth protecting
That’s the same skill as Looks can fool you — sugar in a form your eyes under-count.
