Coffee-Mate contest
This ranks as one of the lamest, shilliest, flakkiest NYCE items ever but due to oppressive deadlines, the alternative is no item at all. It's coffee-related. Sorta. Ack on with it: Coffee-Mate is sponsoring a contest where we "Americans" can vote 4 the next new flavor. Democracy! (Pray there are no Ohio-esque poll machine snafus.) The choices are (w/Nestle-generated descriptions intact, cuz that's the best part, other than the jingoistic title of the campaign, "America Chooses"):- Vanilla Chai Spice: warmth of exotic spices w/the deliciously indulgent creamy taste
- Choc Orange Truffle: dark chocolate mocha w/ an orange citrus infusion
- Tres Leches: indulgence of moist yellow cake drenched w/ traditional flavors
- Coconut Creme: A velvety smooth and sweet coconut flavor
Don't they sound like words are missing? Anyway, voting runs thru Feb 12 & the winner will be announced, oddly enough, at a "Rock the Flavor" launch concert on Apr 22 at the Experience Music Project in Seattle. (see, they sold out too.)

chocolate orange truffle sounds best to me
Oh Ms.Ery beat me to the punch! She's fast when she wants to be. But my vote would be for vanilla chai spice. Even thouh that's mixing up coffee with a tea flavor.
Ah! "A warmth of exotic spices w/the deliciously indulgent creamy taste." Warmth, comfort, foreplay, cuddling - a Jedi craves not these things, I say.
We can vote 4 it. That roxx!! Do we g3t to t45t3 it 2? ;-)
Here's my vote: This IS your lamest item ever. Screw the coffee-mate.
Bleccch.
I think it's entirely appropriate that Coffee-Mate is now made by the same people who brought us Nescafe. And that their "Original Half & Half" contains:
INGREDIENTS: NONFAT MILK, HEAVY CREAM, DISODIUM PHOSPHATE, EMULSIFIERS (MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, SODIUM STEAROYL LACTYLATE), SODIUM CITRATE.
Whatever happened to milk or cream in coffee?
Will the featured musical group at "Rock the Flavor" be Cream?
there usedta be a Dallas punk band called the Caffeinds. altho their preferred personal picker-upper was a bit urm stronger than coffee, as i recall
Twisted seems a little over-caffeinated himself. definitely a little over-exclamated
izzit just me or are the verification words getting longer? this one's 8 letters long. i miss the days when they were only 5 or 6
If Cream is playing at "Rock the Flavor," I hope they are shelf-stable. Ginger Baker looked like he was 75 when he was 30. I can't imagine what he looks like now.
And TG, you're right ... my word verification is six letters long. Ou sont les mots d'antan?
ooh kirk you're better than john cleese in a fish called wanda
plus "shelf-stable" - yuk yuk!!
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SWIM TO FLORIDA? AND DOES AN ESPRESSO OR TWO CUT DOWN ON THE TIME?
Their Peppermint Mocha flavor is actually pretty good.
twisted d, please don't encourage anyone else to swim to florida, english is already a second language here!
(in order:
1.spanish
2.english
3.woof)
YEAH, BUT YOU GET ALL THE CUBAN SANDWICHES AND CIGARS, TOO. HOW DO THEY KEEP THAT SHIT DRY? HAVE YOU EVER HAD A PRESSED CAT SANDWICH? IT'S TO DIE FOR.
STICK A CIGAR IN IT, DOG KILLER!
I'm not much for those additives listed by Kirk, but I was at a party where they served coffee with the liquid flavored creamer and I must say, stuff tasted pretty damn good.
Paris' pic looks like she just arrived in Florida after a long swim. Perhaps a good conditioning with that tres leches glop will help.
Or, perhaps she just did stick a cigar in it...
Oh, shit. He's baaaaaack. Things had been so rational while dean was gone!
I meant to add that I'd forgotten to take my medication as usual yesterday (which explains a lot).
I THINK CHOCOLATE ORANGE TRUFFLE WOULD BE THE BEST
Oh gee, can I still choose the lemon cake flavor?
chocolate orange truffle is my choice
