Coffee Break

The Illinois attorney general has banned state retailers
from selling a product labeled “Meth Coffee” because she
said it glorifies drug use.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan said the drink, which does
not actually contain methamphetamine, has been banned from
the state because it violates the Illinois Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act and the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive
Practices by comparing itself to illegal drugs, WQAD-TV,
Moline, Ill., reported Wednesday.

The San Francisco-based makers of Meth Coffee said their
product was designed strictly for sale online.

“(Meth Coffee) was never marketed or sold in stores in
Illinois, and it is now no longer available online for
purchase from, or shipment to, Illinois. Meth Coffee was
founded by a group of comedians, artists, and rebels,
some of whom are in recovery from methamphetamines. For us,
recovery from addiction is no joke — but Meth Coffee is,”
the company said in a statement.

What are your thoughts on naming a product “Meth Coffee”?

            $15 Sicilian sandwich draws complaint
A nice salami and cheese sandwich from a small Sicilian
shop may be a thing of beauty, but it shouldn’t cost $15,
a British tourist says.  The unidentified tourist, along
with six other people, say they bought three sandwiches at
an ordinary shop in the Sicilian seaside village of Tusa
Wednesday, but complained to the village’s mayor when they
were charged a total of $64 for three sandwiches and soft
drinks, ANSA, the Italian news agency, reported.  The
group, which included two native Sicilians, said they went
to the mayor when the shopkeeper refused to refund their
money and the argument began to get heated.  “It’s
scandalous to pay ($45) for three sandwiches in a very
normal bar that’s not even in the center of the town,” a
native Italian member of the party told ANSA. “I live in
Turin, where a sandwich costs ($7.50) at the most.”  Tusa
Mayor Angelo Tudisca reportedly apologized to the tourists
and promised to take the bar owner to task over the cost
of his sandwiches.

          Sweden marks birth of first male elephant
An elephant at Sweden’s Boras Zoo has given birth to the
first male elephant to be born in the country.  Bo Kjellson,
head of operations at Boras Zoo, said security camera
footage shows the mother, Dudu, going into labor shortly
before noon Monday — weeks before her calf was due, The
Local reported Wednesday.  “Of course we knew that Dudu
was pregnant but had worked out that her due date was at
the end of August,” Kjellson said. “But it doesn’t matter
that it was a bit earlier than planned, everything went
very well.”  The new baby elephant’s older sister, Kwanza,
was the first elephant born in a Swedish zoo when Dudu
gave birth to her in 2001.  Kjellson told The Local the
mother and calf were resting Wednesday. He said a name for
the baby will be chosen by its caretakers.

                 Boy, 8, out-moos competition
An 8-year-old boy with a talent for imitating the calls of
a cow has won the top mooing prize at the Wisconsin State
Fair in West Allis.  Philip Prantle took home the top prize
Saturday at the fair’s fifth annual Cousins Subs
Moo-la-palooza World Famous Mooing Contest, the Racine
(Wis.) Journal-Times reported Wednesday.  Prantle was
selected to compete in the contest after mooing against
about 500 others in an online competition. At the contest,
however, the race between Prantle and runner-up Tony Capla,
also 8, was so close organizers had to hold a “moo-off”
between them, said Dawn Bores, marketing representative
for Cousins Subs.  The winner’s mother, Cheryl Prantle,
said her son was chosen the victor after the question was
put to the assembled crowd.  The host “would put his hand
over Philip and they would cheer. Then he would move his
hand over Tony and they would cheer. It went back and forth
four or five times. The excitement kept building,” Cheryl
Prantle said. For his victory, Philip Prantle was awarded
$1,000, a year’s supply of Cousins’ subs and a suit jacket
with a cow print that Cousins Subs dubbed the “moo jacket.”
