Thanks for the information. I guess if the one company makes a big deal out of its use of the animals being natural and healthy, it might be assumed that there are companies whose use is the opposite. If I were inclined to drink the stuff, that right there would stop me.

I have stopped drinking coffee due to sour stomach problems but I used to love it like a hog loves slop. I suggest you try some Seafarer’s Blend, I have only found it at Big Lots stores but it is a very good coffee for a reasonable price in my opinion. The last thing I would drink would be Starbucks.

Asians in general simply do not value human life.

That may be because half of the world's population lives within 2600 miles of ZhanJiang, China (a great little port town, by the way).

The only coffee I drank in Viet Nam was the instant coffee from the C-Rations. “It looked like muddy water, and tasted like iodine.” Actually, it tasted like muddy water, too.

Ba-mi-ba!

A few years ago, I found Bier 33 for sale in a import liquor store. I bought some and took it with me to the MRF reunion; and had it served at the 4th BN 47th Inf party. They appreciated the joke, and drank the beer anyway.

Thanks. That brought back a lot of memories. Some of them even good.

Back in the late 1980’s, I had 33 beer from France in Vietnamese restaurants. In recent years, I’ve seen 33 from Vietnam for sale in upscale liquor stores.
