So, I happened upon this stuff at a “Tea and coffee” retailer here in town that turned out to be a HUGE disappointment. (Except for the complimentary danish that came with the cup of coffee. One of these two items was entirely consumed. The other was barely touched.)
The highlight of the visit was finding two baskets just full of these things. I’d heard of it before, but I never expected to actually ever see one for sale. Just wow.
So, what is it exactly?
It’s a black colored “creamer” cup.
What’s in it?
“Equivalence: 1 Shot Espresso 1 Serving Delivers 40mg of Caffeine”
Sound good? I haven’t opened it yet, as I’m afraid to taste what’s inside.
Let’s hope little gimmicks like this one die out in favor of retailers serving the real thing.
