Stopped for coffee on the way to Anaheim Comic Con. Yes, actually, I am wearing a Flash T-shirt. Why do you ask?
Even better, the rest of the convention center was taken up by a coffee convention! (For the uninitiated: There’s a running gag in the current Flash relaunch about how much coffee people drink in Central City…especially Iris Allen.)
Follow-up: read my full convention report and check out my photos.
Now, I realize this is simply a brand name, probably inspired by the “pure” part of the slogan…but I can’t help but be reminded of the brief fad for clear products in the early 1990s. Remember Crystal Pepsi? Of course you don’t.
Saturday Night Live summed up just how unappetizing this fad really was in two words: Crystal Gravy.
Thankfully, Crystal Hot Sauce is not clear (as you can see!), and actually tasted pretty good.
Found a bottle of cinnamon in the lunch room and added it to coffee and a hot chocolate packet for a makeshift Mayan mocha.
First, some linkblogging…
And then the “fun” started.
Computer update: Disk check finished overnight, seems OK. Ran a backup just in case, but got some work done on that project!
The trend has gone too far!
Note that it’s certified organic, too…
I keep misreading the Snapea Crisps as Snape Crisps…and then Katie noticed that you could pick out a related name from the Maragogype Coffee at Trader Joe’s.
I know this is just a blanket disclaimer/warning label left over from the standard rice milk carton…but who would use (even imitation) egg nog as infant formula in the first place?
I half expected to find another warning label saying, “Not to be used for the other use.”
