Gothamist *knew* the coffee we had a few years ago was a little...strange: The feds have accused a drug ring of smuggling cocaine into New York City, as well as other parts of the country, by putting the drugs in coffee shipping containers - with coffee already in it. Hmm, Gothamist wonders if coffee shipments weren't as scrutinized, because people just wanted their hand picked Arabica beans. And yes, yes, the drugs were probably very separate from the coffee - Newsday reports they were "sometimes wrapped in packages bearing images of the Teletubbies TV characters." Because La La, Tinkie Winkie and the gang are totally drug-free! Other fun stuff about this Figueroa-Escobar drug operation: The feds called their investigation "Operation Pier Pressure" and once suspects escaped Staten Island's Howland Hook Marine Terminal in a 90 MPH chase with agents.




According to Eddie Murphy in 48hrs Dogs cannot smell narcotics through the aroma of coffee....
Well, it would explain the Addiction people seem to have with Starbucks...
Stick a baggie in a jar of peanut butter, and you're good to go. Or dip the entire bag into bleach and wipe off excess. It'll be like a punch to the nose for a canine.
Coffee drinkers are alreay caffeine addicts. Caffeine is the most socially acceptable drug, yet its effects are quite damaging.
I believe the Eddy Murphy ref was actually from BH Cop... unless he recycled that bit. And if Eddy did recycle bits in his glory years, then why didn't he recycle the line, "Uh oh, beef jerky time!" from Trading Places?

That explains the extra punch my coffee had this morning...
