I just want all you JSF junkies to know that I do drink things other than canned coffee.<\/p>\n<p>This stuff for example.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, sure, it <b>says<\/b> &#8220;Iced Coffee&#8221; on the front, but I&#8217;ve had canned coffee before.  It&#8217;s called <a href=\"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/?p=318\">Hello Boss<\/a>.  It actually contains coffee.  This stuff has &#8220;Coffee Extract&#8221; on the ingredient list.  That must be the stuff left over after you&#8217;ve extracted all the flavor from coffee.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not saying that Mr. Brown is bad.  Bad is an insufficiently harsh description of what Mr. Brown actually is.  It&#8217;s one of those chemical attempts to simulate coffee that tries to emulate the real stuff and fails.  It has a smooth initial taste, but a nasty clingy chemical aftertaste that hangs on the back of your tongue and tries to crawl up the back of your nose.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, it&#8217;s not too bad.<\/p>\n<p>The logo is similar to that of Hello Boss, a grinning bearded guy giving a thumbs-up. In this case he&#8217;s about to pour a cup of coffee down the front of his white suit.  He has a bug-eyed look of shock on his face.  Perhaps he&#8217;s just tasted the stuff inside of the can he&#8217;s on.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately the cans are small.  Just a hair over 8 oz.  So, there&#8217;s not much to suffer through if you happen to pick up one by mistake.  And that&#8217;s the only way I could see this stuff selling.  Someone sees it out of the corner of their eye and picks it up after mistaking it for a can of Hello Boss.<br \/>\nThe combination of lousy taste and deceptive packaging earns this cheap little knock-off a grand total of <a href=\"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/?page_id=2\">1.5 nasty, chemical, but still caffeinated Wasabi Peas<\/a> out of 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,17,15,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-15-peas","category-beverage","category-coffee","category-sweet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
