Posts Tagged ‘coffee’

When I was seven years old I lost one of my baby teeth on the way to the mall with my mother. For some reason, instead of sticking it in a purse or something or other, we put it in one of the cup holders. Later that day my mother spilled coffee in the holder next to it and it got on my tooth, which we forgot about. Two weeks later when I went to pick it up out of the cup holder, it crumbled like powder.

This is also the story I decided to tell the people getting samples of the coffee I had to hand out today for work. (I am product demonstrator. In other words, I do the SAMPLES!!) I am quite positive I am not supposed to do that, but it was really the only thing I could say about coffee. After the tooth-to-powder event, I have just associated coffee with a really negative connotation. I mean seriously, teeth can withstand a lot. Think about it. When a house burns down and everything else is gone, the only way to identify a person is usually by their teeth, the same goes for a body which has been decayed for some time- the teeth are still holding up.

Needless to say, I didn’t sell much coffee.

And no, normally I would not be caught dead drinking coffee, except for today where I was drinking the cups that I had gone cold – 0.O – I think I consumed nearly ten cups all together. So then I was freaking out thinking I was going to be shaking and jittery and crazy-off-the-wall, but thankfully I am feeling okay. I kept running and brushing my teeth, still couldn’t get the taste out of my mouth! Next time this demo comes up in my queue, I am calling in sick.

I would also like to send a shout-out to the parents that for some reason think it’s okay to let their two year old drink coffee- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING!? Honestly, why in the world does a small child need this shit? I am pretty sure most of the two-three year olds I know are well above having enough energy. Give that kid a damn juice box!
