Wolfgang Puck in a can

[Sharon]

At BJ's...

Anyone seen this stuff advertised as "rich mocha latte" in a self-heating can? I figured I'd be the guinea pig and give it a try since it's almost as expensive as my double espresso habit.

The good, bad, and ugly...

Made with Splenda
Only 100 calories
It really heats up
Has all kind of idiot-proof warnings printed on the can
Not all idiots can read
Mr. Bear could make better coffee
Doesn't contain enough caffeine to perk up a hummingbird
Some idiot darwin wanna-be will sue the makers (despite the warnings) and it will be off the shelves in 6 months.

Informative review! I'll have to try some for the heck of it.

Heven't tried it but I got some of the Wolfgang Puck canned soup. Nothing to write home about.

Just think of what that $24 mil could have been used for: a cure for cancer, rescuing orphans in 3rd world countries, cleaning the environment, etc. Instead, we have crappy coffee ready in an instant (6 - 8 MINUTES) in a container that's probably not recyclable.

We went to the lake and there was this man and he was getting people to try that Wolfman Puck's coffee and it was amazing. That man pulled this thing and that coffee went from cold to hot all by itself. My grandma thought it was evil or a joke and she nearly shoved that man down the hill backwards. My dad said it probably struck a match inside whenever that thing got pulled. My Uncle Stanley said he invented it first and that Wolfman sucked it out of his brain with lasers. I know that's not true because my uncle always says stuff like that right after he gets out of the hospital. Anyways, I think that is an amazing idea and it would be good for syrup or to boil potatoes or for warming up orange juice that's been in the freezer.
