Coffee and Sex???

Heres something funny I read about coffee. Turns out coffee is linked to sexual potency and sexual activity in both men and women. Years ago experts did a study which determined that elderly people who drank atleast a cup of coffee a day were more sexually active and the men were more potent. Research has shown that coffee was even precedented as grounds for divorce because the husband could not provide his wife with enough coffee. So next time you're asked on a date and its to "Grab a cup of coffee" think of what else could be on their mind.

Coffee House History

Heres a little bit of interesting coffee house history for you all. Coffee houses first appeared in Italy in the early 1600's. They made there way to America aboout 100 years later. Coffee Houses first appeared in important port cities like Boston and New York. One of the oldest Coffee Houses in Boston, the Green Dragon, is actually the site where the Boston Tea Party was planned, ironic huh. Coffee House conspiracy to boycott tea sounds like early competition to me.

New Slogan in use

So after recently finding out Dunkin' Donuts had changed their ever famous "America runs on Dunkin" slogan to "You 'Kin do it" I wondered why I haven't seen or heard anything about it yet. Turns out the company introduced the slogan in one of their Superbowl Commercials this past February so without further adue, check out the premier of "You 'Kin do it"

America Runs No More...

So I was surfing the web for my marketing class and I came across an interesting article. Turns out Dunkin' Donuts no longer will fuel America. NO, they are no filing for chapter 11 or going out of business like some other popular names we were once used to seeing in other industries, they're changing there slogan. Dunkin' Donuts will no longer be using the famous "America runs on Dunkin'" slogan that they have been using for years. As of March 2009 the company will begin to roll out their new slogan "You 'kin do it". To me the slogan sounds like something out of a Happy Madison Movie (Adam Sandler's production camp). I guess we'll just have to see how well the new slogan goes over with America, I wonder what cute little pictures Dunkies will use on there cups now?
