Note to the Weenies in Marketing: when you brew coffee, could you please make one carafe that isn't some weird foofoo flavor? 'Cause, although you seem to enjoy the syrupy nauseatingly sweet French vanilla and the mysterious vaguely nut flavor of the chemicals they douse the "Hazelnut" coffee in, some of us just want coffee. Just good old hot black coffee.

People, I had to set up a big experiment this morning before my back-to-back Friday meetings. I haven't had sufficient time to properly titrate the level of caffeine in my bloodstream. And to discover this horrible surprise when I stopped at the kitchen is too much for me to bear.

All I wanted was a coffee, just one coffee, and they wouldn't give it to me! This is too much to take! Back off, don't push me man! I said don't push me! DON'T PUSH ME!

What about that coffee that tastes chocolatey? You know. The one that requires that little rodent to eat it and poop it out?

I just don't understand the coffee craze. Cuz really. Who figured out that digging out coffee beans from animal shit was a good thing?

Who figured out that bee vomit is tasty and sweet? ::shrug:: I dunno.

Are beans dug from poo really that much weirder than booze (fruit or grain gone bad), pickles (most of which involve some sort of bacterial action), yogurt (spoiled milk), cheese (again with the spoiled milk, but with the whey squeezed out) or bread (sourdough or yeasted-- no matter what, it's spoiled grain paste)? And I'm not even starting with weird animals or crap like natto.

As a rule, food is often weird-ass stuff.

Weeeeellllll I can comprehend the concept of something going bad and being eaten and then finding that hey, this could work.

But when you dig through shit to find coffee beans? That's going a bit out of ones way.

(Oh and you forgot to list vegemite)

The real question is not who would dig through shit to eat a pre-digested bean (the answer-- most toddlers), but who would eat the bean say "gods, that's foul, but maybe if we roasted it, ground it up, steeped the grounds in hot water and drank the liquid that results, maybe then we would have something." Obviously, that person was either a lunatic or a genius.

From someone who empties trash at a college on the weekend. from my perspective that stuff is nasty, sticky, smelly, and sticky again. the machines gush that stuff out and the kiddies out of high school gorge on it.
Then it gets in the waste baskets and makes a mess.
Good straight black coffee is clean compared to that stuff
