Coffee: It's Not Just for Coffee Anymore

My slow road toward coffee addiction began in college, when I tasted a mocha beverage at a nearby coffeehouse (which were just beginning to become the rage). It was coffee... but with a chocolatey accent. Not bad. I eventually moved on to lattes... and then, the mother drug.

Now I drink way too much every day. But with an infant in the house, it's what keeps me going. (Although, to be fair, I was already downing way too much coffee long before Blogger Baby showed up.)

So clearly I'm excited about the new coffee-centric flavors making the rounds.



I generally avoid the regular flavor Ben & Jerry's pints, in favor of the frozen yogurt or low-fat varieties. But I couldn't pass up B&J's new Vermonty Python: Coffee liqueur ice cream with a chocolate cookie crumb swirl & fudge cow pieces. Maria and I loved it. Another brilliant B&J flavor.



Who cares if it's artificially flavored? It's a coffee-flavored Kit-Kat! Genius! (And pretty good too.) But Kit-Kat, why must you tease us with that "limited edition" threat?



I haven't tried it yet, but I'm very curious about the new Coca-Cola Blak -- uh-uh, that's right, a Coke/coffee hybrid. Again, genius. Although most people I've talked to find this digusting. I'll give it a try.
