God's Communist Coffee
So, I am thoroughly impressed by this Korean product which I came across in a Liuzhou shop last night.
Sheer genius! Marxism Coffee. If you’re going to sell coffee in China, what better name could there be?* And then, to hedge your bets and pick up the dissident element as well as the local sky pilots, add the rider “God’s favored coffee!” A big thumbs up sign in the corner and all is well!
I can just see God settling back with a cup of Marxism while he peruses the morning news.
Unfortunately, the effect is somewhat spoiled by the small notice informing the would be purchaser that the ‘coffee’ product contains 15% coffee. What is the other 85%.? The rest of the packaging is all in Korean, but I can’t see anything resembling a contents list. Not that I could read it anyway.
* Actually “Rampant Capitalism Coffee” would probably be a better seller. Or “I wouldn't recognise Marxism if it Bit Me in the Bum Coffee”
awesome pic, thanks.... great post
Marxism Coffee; Nice gift for facism! Nice blog!
That's awesome! I'm definitely getting one of those on my next visit to
Liuzhou. As for the other 85%, my Chinese coffee experience tells me that
it's powdered milk (or more likely non-dairy creamer) and lots of sugar.
