Sorry, I got side-tracked.

We just had a huge thunderstorm, with hail

never mind, I am on and off anyway

it looks like we are going to have some kind of rain, thunderstorm or something the like as well

would be good, the air would be refreshed afterwards

Good day...I believe in German, gutten tag(?). I'm glad the was appreciated. We have a German grocery maybe half a kilometre west of me, so I've tried both the Tchibo & Eduschio-prefer the Tchibo. I thought I'd offer 'the good stuff'!

Hey I'm gooey! I use the Classic Goo skin because I find the colour contrast(dark background)easier on my eyes. Or certainly for longer periods of time!

Hallo Darrell,

from the design point of view, especially the colour, I prefer the GOO skin as well, but with the Brunel I find things easier to find.

Actually Tchibo and Eduscho are the same company by now (a couple of years ago Tchibo bought Eduscho) but I believe the coffee still tastes slightly different). If I buy good coffee it is Tchibo as well (but usually I have to save my money so I do my shopping in a discounter).

Do you happen to know Milka choclat? For me that is the best - with the exception that I haven't found any bittersweet choclat from them for ages now

Have another and enjoy the day

Tina

You're right, Tina, Eduscho is practically non -existant anymore - at least here. Tchibo only still uses the name of Eduscho for Eduscho's 'Gala' coffee.

I never eat Milka it's too sweet for my taste, it makes my teeth hurt.

I think it is only a PR trick, because they know that some people stick to the label they are used to.

The important thing is:

has to be black, strong and sweet

Not quite, has to be white, with lots of and no sugar.

Milk only when it is
and not

I hardly ever drink . Black only when we've run out of .

Ah danke Tina! A second would be good. Yes I imagine large companies such as Tchibo own different brand names that most consumers aren't aware of. And of course also grow & aquire or buy out competitors(growing even more!) I just recently found Tchibo at a discounter...somewhat unusual as they sell mainly clothing and such. (http://www.winners.ca)

Oh yes I've had the Milka , this grocery I mention-owned by the Krause family-has a large selection of . They seem to import many of their items. I don't often find Milka bittersweet...I do like the Dutch Droste , they make a nice bittersweet pastille. They also have a very good extra dark(72%)pastille. I like that smiley!

At home or work I drink
when going out, especially to an italian ice café, I chose , after dinner it is espresso though

What's the weather like in Alberta at the moment, jaz'd?

Darrell,

you are always welcome to a
and of course I will always see that I have some left for you

All this buying and selling of companies - in fact you never know who belongs together and who is behind which brand. Actually there are only a few companies i.e. in the food-market, but a lot of brands (same goes for washing powder). At least it is so in Germany, but I wouldn't be surprised if is a worldwide phenomenon.

The weather B'Elana is sunny & 13.9 C right now.

That's winter temps, jaz'd.

Tina, practically everything belongs to N****é nowadays.

You are right B'Elana - and I am sure it is not a good thing (if one company gets too strong)

I would gladly change place now, a 13.9 degree sounds better than the sticky air that we have here now (though outside is a bit nicer than in my appartment, but it is built in a way, that air doesn't really get through it and I have nearly no draught even when opening all doors and windows).

Oh yes Tina I'm sure that's the case - many brands, but only a few L-A-R-G-E companies(making greater profits!)

That's good to know Tina! They're a a good match/pair, & .

they make a perfect pair Darrell, especially when I am in a blue mood

Yes B'Elana N***le is the prime example of a L-A-R-G-E company. They seem to have a finger in every pie, so to speak!
