Starbucks subsidiary.

That would explain the black dye. Had they used white dye, they'd have been off to reeducation camp, er, sensitivity training.

I was wondering why coffee has been tasting so awful in the last few years.

workshop bought rejected coffee beans from large facilities at a cheap price, ground and mixed them with other materials including dirt and rock dust, then used the black powder found inside D batteries to ‘dye’ the mixture to produce finished products.

Or as S.F. liberals call it, "Organic Fair Trade Coffee"

LOL!

I prefer a good 9-volt in the morning myself.

I’ve heard of coffee referred to battery acid before but this seems a bit extreme.

[robroys woman]

Good one!

[pa_dweller]

If they're making it out of battery materials it's a pretty safe bet that

IT'S GOT ELECTROLYTES!!

[robroys woman]

Honey, the coffee tastes really acidic this morning. Is it yesterday’s coffee?

I like to recharge my batteries with a cup of joe. But this is taking things a little too literally.

“Dirty Coffee” sounds like it could be the latest coffee-snob/greenie fad in California: “It tastes earthy and is good for the earth too because it has earth in it ...”

The luak (aka Asian palm civet), that's a small catlike animal, gorges after dark on the most ripe, the best of our crop
eat my crap ...

[PIF]

“The traditional method of collecting feces from wild civets has given way to intensive farming methods in which civets in battery cage systems are force-fed the cherries. This method of production has raised ethical concerns about the treatment of civets due to “horrific conditions” including isolation, poor diet, small cages and a high mortality rate.”

Ask your pharmacy if your medications are coming from China? Then think about what side effects you’re having and what fillers could be in the medications.

President Trump should bring prescription medications back to the USA where they can be “inspected” instead of trusting what’s in the ones made overseas. There are not enough inspectors to truly know what we’re getting from foreign countries.

After the war, Ba Mươi Ba added one more three, and is now among the most popular beers in Vietnam. Just in case anyone was wondering. :D

Walmart contracts with tons of other companies to sell through their website. Just bought a paddle board on clearance and have no clue where its coming from. Bought 2 kayaks at the same time and it seems they are actually coming from Walmart.

Do they put formaldehyde in it?

[cba123]

I don’t think so. I don’t drink beer mostly, myself.

Vietnam has changed a great deal. It is a relatively poor country, but moving forward quite rapidly.

We should continue to cultivate an improving relationship with Vietnam, in my view.
