Coffee and Orange Juice
Created | Updated Aug 5, 2005
Not together obviously. I don't drink alcohol, no big deal, just a personal choice. I don't smoke cigarettes or snort crack either, but for some reason people aren't so surprised at that as they are about the alcohol thing.
What really annoys me though is that many places you go for a drink offer a huge range of quality alcoholic beverages, and 3 really nasty, over-priced, non-alcoholic options. Usually cola, and other softdrinks (an expensive big name brand), and "orange juice", so called due to its colour rather than origin. You can also often get coffee.
The problem arises when the difference in quality of said coffee and orange juice varies wildly from place to place around the world, with no correlation between country, location, quality of establishment etc.
What I propose is a global database of outlets around the world which tells you if their coffee is drinkable and if their orange juice has ever known the joy of aboreal life so you can know what you are in for before it arrives and maybe either go elsewhere or stick to water.
So, people, let's get started, tell me if your favourite watering hole does a fine brew/juice or if there are scary places to be avoided at all costs. It is a service, and may make the world a better place. Well, my world at any rate.
