Why “Cold Coffee”?
Jul 27th
After 2 years of writing under TooMuchCoffee, writers block set in and I went through a few months of not being able to write anything! Despite numerous calls and much encouragement to start blogging again, I was stuck!
I have finally found the inspiration I needed and have begun my blogging again… Sorry for you!
It was a difficult decision as to whether to resurrect TooMuchCoffee or to start afresh, I have decided to opt for the best of both worlds. I have begun my new blog at www.howfascinating.co.za and have retained all my old articles and links from TooMuchCoffee.
So if you are looking for my new stuff, just click HERE and if you would like to explore the old content of TooMuchCoffee please use the links above.
Old Lang’s Sign
Dec 31st
There was a man who’s name was Lang and he had a neon sign.
Mr Lang was very old so they called it “Old Lang’s Sign!”

Starbucks Instant Coffee – An Instant Reason For Sarcasm
Oct 1st
Sarcasm is more important than coffee! Don’t believe me? Well have you ever tried to go an entire day without a sarcastic remark. Me neither! Don’t believe me, just ask Mrs Addict she will vouch for it when she is done cursing me.
We don’t have a Starbucks in South Africa yet, but we do have plenty of sarcasm and my favourite place for my daily dose is THE SARCAMIST and yesterdays article is certainly worth reposting. All credit to The Sarcamist!
You can get your daily dose of sarcasm by becoming a fan of theirs on FACEBOOK. Here is one of my favourite quotes on the subject… “I’m not so good with the advice… Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?” -Chandler Bing
“Starbucks has found a way to offer a truly great cup of coffee that you can prepare by just adding water.”
Hmm, so you mean like instant coffee?
“We believe other instant coffees taste flat and lifeless. Starbucks VIA™ Ready Brew is different – it’s full-bodied and flavorful, just like the Starbucks® coffee you know and love.
I thought your customers were flat and lifeless (after paying $5 for a latte), but what do I know.
One of the headings on the Starbucks VIA™ web page reads “How Starbucks VIA™ Can Change Your Life”, and is followed by “It’s pretty revolutionary, when you think about it. With Starbucks VIA™, great coffee can be yours anytime, anywhere. A life-altering concept, with tasty consequences, to be sure. But with endless possibilities for enjoyment,…”
Revolutionary? Life-altering? Wow! And there are endless possibilities, it seems. Odd, I was under the impression that the only possibility was to enjoy a cup of coffee, but I’m sure the coffee scientists know better.
The kind Starbucks people have also gone out of their way to develop a guide about how best to enjoy VIA™.
“We’ve put together a handy little guide to help you answer that very question. Have a read through for suggestions on how to make the most of Starbucks VIA™. Then invent some yourself and share them here with us.”
I always want to pull out a guidebook for coffee making when I’m in rush and want to make instant coffee before dashing off to wherever I am going. Another giant leap for mankind.
