Oh sure, so now all the "eccentrics" get to be "American" too.

That wasn't me. I don't even get it.

David, what the hell's going on here?!

Marxy: Nice review.

"So what kind of poor soul steps up to the neighborhood vending machine and intentionally buys a can of Dydo's "American Coffee"?"

Have you read A Million Little Pieces? Probably a recovering crack addict.

Don't look at me, Craig, I'm just as confused as you are. We've got J dropping non sequiturs like an eccentric Canadian, Jenny claiming that she's not J (yeah, right), and you, as ever, bringing crack into the conversation.

And here I am trying to figure out what the hell is so bad about hot rods and Betsy Ross.

Right; I thought it was rather rude of me to drop in without comment on a most enjoyable review, too, but I was in a hurry this morning.

First, I really like the name Marxy. May I say that?
Next, That was one erudite review -- over my head I could even say, but pleasantly so. As I read I thought, "I would like to know more about the things this person is talking about."
And I can appreciate that the quantities of product we Americans are accustomed to are "gross". When I travelled in Italy, it was my wonder and delight to see grown men order a cup of coffee ("un caffe"), and be served a tablespoon of liquid -- frothy, well-made, soulful liquid -- into which they almost invariably stirred a packet of sugar with a diminuative spoon then knocked back like a shot of ouzo. Mmmm. Hits the spot. (And if you like that, try a "caffe correto").
Though she might not have coined the phrase, it was from Mary Poppins that I learned, "enough is as good as a feast."
Thanks for the good reading Marxy and Canned coffee.com.

I love American Coffee. I used to buy it every day. Cost me 120 yen a pop, about a buck. I spent 3 years in Japan and tried drinks from thier machines that were just crazy, but this is my favorite. I bought 2 cases to take back to the US with me and sadly, I have only 1 left. I'm saving it. For a special occassion.

I'm drinking a can of it now, mwaa ha ha. It's the same price as the Georgia Coffee, but you get more.
