Whif, Don’t Drink, Your Morning Coffee

Catherine StrawnMarch 16, 2010 //

Remember Le Whif, the chocolate you inhale? Well, the company just introduced a coffee version, because why would you want to sip on the actual stuff? Breathe from your handy (and biodegradable) tube, and you’ll take in a dose of tiny particles that not only smells like a cup of joe, but has the caffeine content of a small espresso, too. While some might miss their morning ritual, this product could do well with people who find that coffee’s diuretic effect gets in the way of their life. But if Le Whif still smells like java, we’re not sure it can prevent another of the drink’s cons: coffee breath. [Le Whif] Keep reading »

For some, a morning cup of coffee is your own moment of calm and quiet before the day’s horrendous craziness. But for those who frequent U.K. coffee chain Puccino’s, they’ll find no such luck thanks to the company’s new chatty packaging. But, it is quite cute, you have to admit. See some more examples after the jump! [LovelyPackage.com] Keep reading »

Starbucks May Start Selling Booze, Too

Jessica WakemanJuly 17, 2009 //

Because Starbucks doesn’t already take enough of my money, the coffee chain announced it may start selling beer and wine in addition to coffee. Starbucks is currently serving alcohol during the evenings at one of its coffee shops in Seattle and if that pilot program is successful, the company could open others. However, their stores which sell alcohol will “look very different from a typical Starbucks,” USA Today reports, probably because there’ll be obnoxious drunk people in them.

The beers and wines, which will likely be local to the Pacific Northwest, will cost $4 to $7 a pop. Hmm, wonder if Starbucks will still make your order your booze in those stupid tall, grande or venti sizes? [USA Today] Keep reading »

The Olsen Twins Want Their Coffee With A C-Cup

SimchaNovember 3, 2008 //

According to a Swedish study, three cups of coffee a day will make your boobies go away. So, in Page Six magazine yesterday, I debated the dilemma with a swimwear buyer for Victoria’s Secret, Courtney Alexander. I proudly proclaimed I’d skim a little off my bra size to keep my morning pick me up. However, I felt bad for the coffee-and-A-cup-combo pictured with the article, poor lil’ Ashley Olsen. Now, there’s a rumor circulating that Ashley wants a boob job, and is trying to drag Mary Kate under the knife too. Somebody call Uncle Jesse to talk some sense to these babes! Keep reading »

    Beware Of Coffee Offered By Strange Men

    Catherine StrawnApril 7, 2008 //

    Apparently, there are coffee and orange juice mixes that can make people incredibly aroused, and an organization for women and children in Thailand has issued a warning against these drinks, which are thought to be laced with an aphrodisiac. So far, two women have come forward saying that they’ve had a strange experience. They both said they drank a cup of coffee prepared by a man, and then, about 10 minutes later, they felt a “sudden, unstoppable sexual excitement,” which drove them to have sex. So, if a guy asks you to come over for a cup of coffee, think twice before saying “yes.” Better to ask for an unopened can or bottle of beer or soda instead. [Bangkok Post] Keep reading »

    Coffee, Tea, And Chocolate Baths

    Catherine StrawnFebruary 25, 2008 //

    Scientists and anti-aging specialists are really into researching the health benefits of drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine, and there seem to be positive advantages, such as discouraging the development of colon cancer and the like. But those benefits come from consuming the beverages in moderation — so, what does bathing in them do? At Yunessun Spa Resort, about two hours west of Tokyo, you can soak in communal baths filled with Japanese sake, green tea, and coffee, in addition to the more traditional Dead Sea spa and Turkish hamam. The resort claims that red wine rejuvenates, coffee fights fatigue and helps beautify the skin, Japanese rice wine bath warms the body up, and green tea enhances the immune system. They also offer a chocolate bath, which supposedly encourages weight loss. Yum. We’re wondering if anyone takes a sip while no one’s looking. [Times Online and Yunessun Spa Resort] Keep reading »

    Delicious $3 Abortion Makes You Fat

    SimchaJanuary 25, 2008 //

    Earlier this week, the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology reported that two cups of coffee a day prevents pregnancy and doubles the risk of miscarriages for pregnant women thereby making it one of the cheapest and tastiest alternative to Roe vs. Wade. But like a pharmaceutical commercial where you’re promised a cure that also happens to make your butt leak, just a few days later another medical report was published claiming that coffee will make you fat. That’s right, those cappa-frappa-mocha-mmm’s can contain 1/3 of your daily caloric allowance. So what is a girl to do: let a baby or coffee wake you up? [Reuters, Guardian U.K., and MSNBC]
