Each pic represents something in particular…

I’d like to care, I really would.

You’re a big fan of Tesco’s Finest Most Expensive espresso pods?

Well, you bothered to look, type and hit return. A welcome break from bitching about wheel sizes and “my tyres won’t seat” posts.

It amused me at the time.

I give up

Disney and Hitler?

Both the same apart from one being more expensively packaged, like Clare Balding and Eddie Izzard?

bottom one looks like it might be the shape of a poncy coffee machine ?

top one really really slightly looks like someone riding a bike (if you squint)

The first picture ones cost you more than the 2nd?

The first one contains horse

The first pic represents nearly running out of coffee.

The second pic represents not nearly running out of coffee.

Answer:

Pic 1 is the amount of espresso required to get banned from competing in the Olympics: 6 cups.

Pic 2 is the amount of espresso that would actually kill you: 187 cups.

Jeez, that like so awesome

Wow, that’s a thing.

So, having had more than 187 espressos, I’m dead now? Or do they have to come from a plastic container with a made up word on the side of it?

the amount of espresso that would actually kill you: 187 cups.

I had a go at this in the week – I usu. drink a triple espresso in the morning; I was in a hurry on Tuesday so didn’t get to before leaving for work so… at work I borrowed someone’s cafetiere & made coffee for 2. Turns I haven’t got a clue how to make “normal” coffee and used approx. 8 times the amount of coffee I should have.

End result: I had a very distracted buzzy day, the girl who drank the other cup felt nauseous and went home – and felt shitty all day/night, I made it to 4 o’clock before I felt rough, got home at 5:30, went to the bog and barfed through my nose; had rubbish night’s sleep.

True story, thanks for listening.

Rob, your story wins over the op. Thanks to the op for teasing out Rob’s story.

Things happen for a reason 🙂

Wow. That was really worth waiting for. It’s kind of a shame that such a wonderful post isn’t actually true

Thanks for that correction aracer, I appreciate the enthusiasm. I feel a bit like an oxbridge don (whatever one of those is), so many willing research assistants. Now can you help me with the second pic? I’d like you to go and drink 187 cups of espresso in one go and then report back. Don’t worry about the cost, just send me an invoice after you’ve written up your findings.
Yeeees.

I’m up for it! Who else is with me? I’ll be Jim Jones, y’all can be the STW Temple.

One of my favourite Futurama episodes.
Fry, for those of you who don’t know, has blown his entire 300 dollar war tax refund, on 100 cups of coffee….

Just to clarify, is that 187 cups of Nespresso intensity No1, or intensity no 11?
