Compari Liqueur Will Make Coffee Hooch, Illyquore

Compari Liqueur Will Make Coffee Hooch, Illyquore: "Campari, the Italian liqueur company is blending with Illy to give you a better buzz two ways. Together, they will make a new coffee liqueur drink called Illyquore."

Humm, I see that Starbucks and Godiva are already in this nitch. Hope they keep some herbal bitter in the mix, otherwise it won't be good for much more than a bump in the x-tini, sex-on-the-x, and Aqualung family of spew.

On the other foot, maybe they'll spike interest and we'll get another entry in the beer family like Redhook Doubleblack Stout

Doh! Loose your feed, loose your friends. Sheesh, do people actually use the UI and page back though messages?

Guess I'm getting my Twitter via a feed from http://friendfeed.com/?service=twitter

The Facebook Blog | Facebook

The Facebook Blog | Facebook: "A recent place where we've been fighting the spam battle has been through sites that ask for a user's login information to use a contact importer, and then spam all of their friends.
