Curiosity of the day

An interesting taste twist to condoms: coffee. Gives a new meaning to rise and shine and good to the last drop. According to Mental Floss' MEGHAN HOLOHAN (via CNN), Ethiopians don't use condoms because they can't stand the smell of latex, so DKT International (family planning and HIV/AIDS prevention US nonprofit organization) came up with the idea of coffee condoms - Ethiopia claims to have invented coffee. "The dark brown condoms allegedly taste and smell like the favorite coffee of Ethiopia -- the macchiato, an espresso with cream and sugar." Who did the taste tests?

I wonder what the coffee condom slogan is? Too bad these are already taken:
Folgers: The best part of wakin' up...
Maxwell House: Taste as good as it smells
Brim decaf: Fill it to the rim with Brim
Sanka: One fiddler you won't have to pay
Seattle's Best Coffee: Have it your way. If your way is fast.
Starbucks DoubleShot. Bring on the day
Starbucks Frappuccino. Work can wait.
Nescafe instant: Open up!
Nescafe: One thing leads to another
Nescafe: Start the day with great taste

Happy Halloween...try neon!
