Once More Unto the Breach

Posted by Sunday on May 6, 2010 at 8:00 am

Okay, let’s try this again.  WITH DELICIOUS GODDAMN COFFEE.  This is probably also something strange I’m missing like “espresso with Hokkaido double cream” but as far as I know it’s just coffee.  C Fierce, are you listening?  I hope you are.  I’m pulling for you.  And by “pulling for you” I mean “treating you like a random number.”

So anyway, yeah, I bought one of these and I want to give it to one of you.  I think we can all agree that we hope Alice doesn’t get it this time, though of course she’s welcome to try.  And then if she does win it, I think we can all agree that god is a vindictive jerk.  Anyway, as with the green tea one, I ate one of these myself and have to say with authority: it’s pretty damn good. The first real bite is intensely sweet, like holy mother of Jesus, my throat is burning, but then!  Then it’s coffee!   And we’re not talking girly coffee, but truly bitter, coffee-grounds coffee.  It’s the most surprising transition.  I actually kept nibbling it just for the wonder of bitterness with each bite.  I can’t help but make comparisons to Western candy that doesn’t manage nearly as mature a flavor while still clearly being sugary junk food.

Here’s those rules again:

1) You may only comment once.  If you comment more than once I will delete all but one of your comments.  To be perfectly clear: you will not be disqualified, you’ll just have all but one of your comments deleted to ensure you get the same chances as everyone else.

2) I don’t care what you say.

3) Contest closes at 8pm PST on Friday night – any comments made after 8pm will not qualify.

4) Anyone may enter, dad.

5) Winning this one won’t disqualify you from another one .  You could – theoretically though improbably – win again and again.  Alice.

Good luck to you all, and thanks for reading Anger Burger.  Normal content will resume after this giveaway, but I’ve still got a few goodies I want to mail to someone, so don’t be gone too long.

***CONTEST CLOSED!***

Giveaway is over!  Stand by for winner.

  2. olive says:

    I have never seen such Kit Kats before. Your supply of exotic Nestle junk food amazes me. Also, I kind of want this coffee thing.

    [Sunday note: I'm flattered, but it's merely my recent proximity to a large Asian market. But I'm sort of hoping that Nestle pays attention and ships me a big case of them so I can give them all away to you guys.]

  3. Marguerite says:

    i’ve never met a coffee flavored item I did not like.

  4. Abby says:

    Coffee treats, please.

  5. Kjersti says:

    lasers! pew! pew!

    . . . “and we’re not talking girly coffee, but truly bitter, coffee-grounds coffee.” What does it say about me that bitterness makes me swoon? P.S. If I could post another separate comment it would be this: Anger Burger is my favorite blog. The end.

    [Sunday note: You may not post a separate comment. But I will accept run-on comments, provided they are laden with flattery.]

    I AM LISTENING!!!! LOUD AND CLEAR!!!! Seriously, BEST THING IN THE WORLD. Sorry my CAPS LOCKS GOT STUCK I’m kidding.

  8. Throwing my hat in the ring. Is that the idiom? I never get my idioms right.

  9. Ben says:

    Looks tasty…

  10. Maro says:

    Back off, Alice. This one’s mine.

  11. Heather says:

    I’ve never really gone for Kit Kats, but bitter coffee flavor sounds amazing!

  12. quagmire says:

    I refuse to enter after being called a ‘belligerent nutbag’ because I resemble that remark! … oh, wait, does this mean I just entered … shit?
    @ Kelsey: it’s ‘towel’, referring to a fighter’s manager stopping a fight and forfeiting the match. Ironically, throwing one’s ‘hat in’ idiomatically symbolizes ‘to join’ something … so yer safe, ha! Well said.

  13. Carrie Anne says:

    I was trying to explain to Anthony about the whole ‘Chicken ‘N Niffles’ thing and we got pretty far into the conversation before he realized I wasn’t saying ‘Nipples.’

    [Sunday note: Today I told someone I had to rape the yard. And then I was all, yeah, sure. Why not.]

  14. Rita Joiner says:

    Oh my. That sounds good.

  15. jill says:

    nom nom nom.

  16. cassie says:

    confession: two weekends ago i got my wisdom teeth out and read through the entire anger burger archives.

    [Sunday note: Oh no wisdom teeth! I imagine you read the post or two where I had some of mine out, last year. Ah, the memories.]

  17. Melody says:

    Kit Kat!
    And your blog rocks btw.

  18. Jill says:

    shopping list from yesterday : mother’s day card, step-mother’s day card, mother in law day card, gin, lettuce.

    [Sunday note: That was the best laugh yet, today, thank you.]

  19. Toni says:

  21. Erin says:

    Coffee is my newfound addiction. Prior to having a baby I couldn’t drink it (it made me sick). Now? Can’t live without it!

    [Sunday note: This is a totally inappropriate comparison, but I hated coffee until the morning after a somewhat harrowing night of drug use during my teens, and forever after I LOVED it. I think my brain got rewired.]

  22. Rhonda says:

    I think i would like to try this too!

  23. Jenny says:

    tombe du ciel

  24. Scott says:

    MMMMMMmmmmmmm coffee candy. Count me IN.

  25. Jenny Foust says:

    as long as we’re not talking girly coffee.

    [Sunday note: I may have misrepresented it. It's still pretty girly.]

  26. Amaranta says:

    yay! such a cool giveaway! thanks!!!

  27. Shirley Lewis says:

    I love your blog…and coffee.

    [Sunday note: That's all I ask of any of my readers.]

  28. Stephanie says:

    Crossing my fingers, and praying unto the Kit Kat gods that I win!

    [Sunday note: The Kit Kat gods are fickle, you may want to try sacrifice or something stronger.]

  29. Vivian says:

    Gasp* So Milk Coffee is the other flavor that you’ve tried :D I want to try this one so badly!!
