coffee mistake

[Dave (imported)]

If you were a guest in someone's house and making microwave instant coffee, would you look at a container next to the gas rangetop holding white stuff and assume it was the sugar? Or would you ask?

Today, I heard a gag, spit, spit, spit, spit, gagging noises from my kitchen and discovered that one of my guests used a full teaspoon of sea salt instead of sugar in his coffee.

White stuff could be much, much, much more interesting than sea salt.

Aside from the obvious drug connotations, back in the 90s I was going from the jungle in Venezuela thru Columbia. They went thru our luggage in Bogota. The customs guy opened my brown bathroom bag and was rummaging thru it. He tested my white crotch rot powder by putting some on his fingers and putting it to his lips. My wife could barely contain herself.

I bet he asks next time, where ever he is then again coffee (yuch) microwaved coffee LOL.

I remember my father coming for a visit, my ex and I don't drink coffee so he went to the store and got a jar of some instant coffee. A year later he visited again and got that jar of coffee and made a cup. How was I to know instant coffee went stale? From then on when ever he visited he brought his own.

An obvious and easy solution would be to taste it.

The guy has no taste buds. He used my powdered coffee creamer and after he left I looked at the expiration date - it's 1999 (honest)

Most of the time, expire dates don't mean squat. Just another way for manufacturers to make more sales. Only thing I watch for is on the like of dairy and produce, and usually my nose and eyes work best. The 1999 creamer was likely as good as today's. I'd use it.

I still feel guilty

Wait...

(SNOBBERY ALERT!!!!)

... seriously, Dave, this guy wasn't drinking "coffee".

He was drinking a horrid, freeze-dried, microwaved cup of "nothing like coffee", with "chemical garbage that tastes nothing like cream".

My God... instant coffee with fake creamer.

A guy may as well just give up and see how long he can live on gummi-bears and Froot Loops.

Okay, I'm ranting at this point, but I just utterly cannot fathom why one would drink something wherin BOTH contents are things that are sold for emergency, there-has-been-a-nuclear-war-and-nothing-else-is-available use and prefer it over the 'real' alternative.

I've seen guys at work pay 50 cents for the little packs of one-shot instant 'coffee' from the machine when there is a fresh pot of free Columbian right beside the machine... what is wrong with us ???

Well, maybe at least it helped his chapped lips?? Thanks for the giggle.

A rant! He'll be happy he inspired a rant.

There were three of us and we all had a good laugh.
