10 Ways Back To The Future Would Look Completely Different In 2015

6. Ordering At Lou's Cafe

"Give me a Tab", asks Marty, naively.

"Tab? I can't give you a tab unless you order something", replies a confused Lou.

What world is this where a teenager can't walk into his neighbourhood cafe and grab his favourite drink? 1955. They don't have Pepsi Free either. Torture. Black coffee it is. That's what you get for turning up to Lou's Cafe in a life-preserver.

A modern day Marty McFly, somehow trapped back in 1985, would face a very similar first-world problem while trying to procure his preferred health drink of choice.

A confused Marty stumbles into Cafe 50s, a novelty coffee shop-cum-snack bar playing Chuck Berry on loop. He takes a seat at the counter and orders. "I'd like a green tea, please". 

"All our tea is the same colour, pal" snaps an elderly Lou, seemingly ready to die.

Marty ruffles his hair and impatiently asks for an Innocent Smoothie.

"Hey look, if you want a word with Gino he only works Wednesdays and Thursdays".

God knows what Marty would get for ordering a skinny latte.
