Browsing the tea aisle of one of New York Chinatown's supermarkets, I encountered a, well, novel beverage. Those with strong stomachs may be able to handle what they see at the bottom of this page:

Great! Both my vices in one convenient sachet!
Lew,
I like coffee. In fact, I like tea. But you are right. That looks horrid.

Kids Love MilkApplejuice!!
The great taste of milk and apple juice in one yummy beverage!
Their mixtures are a trifle sweet, don't you think? :-) Sugar's the main ingrediant in so many of them...

They used to serve this on British Rail, I could never make out whether the drink is tea or coffee!
I think I drank this stuff the last time I ordered tea at Starbuck's.

Don't knock the idea. Yo-J is a pretty good drink.
Did I ever tell you about grapples? It's grape flavored apples. They're wierd. My grocery store sells them.
It's like a smoothie. Not a good comparison after all . . .
(After some practice at Rotten and sickestsites.com, I ventured a look.) The only time I've tried mixing coffee and tea were on an airliner, and even after a GT, one miniature red wine, one plane beer and the small bottle of brandy, I was surprised at how bad it tasted. Now I'm surprised it can be marketed, but maybe in the spirit of Jones Soda:
Ok I dare you to fill up a glass with half apple juice and half milk and give it a shot.
Who knows, maybe it's the next big thing.

Ozzy, sugar is actually quite healthy for you. Why, I'll bet the sugar industry is lobbying Washington to have it listed as a health food.
Blachhh. Michael
Any horrendous mix of liquids that are good on their own and terrible together is OK with the public when it is called "Tiger Milk". The weirder the better, actually. The ability and eagerness to consume the most disgusting mixes as breakfast stems, IMHO from an interesting hybrid of ideas that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and "no pain - no gain". Tigers would be laughing.
Me, I prefer slow, abandant, exotic on fruit side and decadent breakfasts served noonish preferrably by barely dressed redheads tigers ready to go back to bed in a moment's notice. Thats the tiger breakfast I always ready for.
Sorry for OT - back to coffee tea. Coffee tea, however can legitimately be brewed (and it kinda nice) from the LEAVES of coffee plant.
Sasha.
Sorry, I lacked the guts to try the stuff.

I love it.....

On that note, I was browsing through a National Geographic from 1970 in the doctor's office the other day and came across an ad saying something to the effect of "hungry before lunch? Nibble on a cookie!" and went on to say how sugar was 100 percent carbohydrate and pure and the perfect thing to cut the hunger pangs in mid-morning etc. Of course the ad was put in by the sugar board, but an ad like that these days would meet with disbelief I think, especially given the awareness of diabetes....
