just shut up and eat your coffee film

some things in life just make ya wanna weep. with the success of the little dissolvable breath-mint starch film squares, your friendly local food chemists have uncorked their 3rd eyeballs, mutant brains, and horny little mits to create. . .you guessed it:

a little dissolvable caffeinated coffee starch film square in various disgusting sounding flavors.

to my mind this dwarfs the usual news that our friends at that quality food provider, mcdonalds, intend to expand their mccafe coffee bars. does this even require my comment?

but what's really upsetting is the e.u. chocolate politics problem (log on your own self in and think of bruce: saute, wednesday). i've written about this before.

the italians tried to have this regulation overturned and lost. what is the point of the e.u. if it's just going to drown all of europe's finest traditions in the mediterrean?

the point should be to let all of europe's treasures move freely through the world just as they are and trounce the trashy american no-quality crap that's foisted on the planet against its will. . . europe should compete, not cave.

only that will force both european and american products to improve! europe has to display that it is possible to have a human and enjoyable way of life that is also practical and affordable.

otherwise they might as well apply to be the 52nd state right now, because when it comes to racing to the bottom, no one beats the american corporate beancounter. resistance will be futile. they will be assimulated.
