GARBAGE FOOD

It occurred to me today, while making a white mocha with an extra shot of espresso but half decaf, extra hot, with sugar free raspberry syrup, that I do not know what white chocolate is. I don't really consider it chocolate. It's weird and gross. A Wikipedia-ing was in order.

Wikipedia tells me this:

"White chocolate first appeared in Switzerland in the 1930s. It was invented by Nestlé to use excess cocoa butter."

It was invented to use up excess? That means that white chocolate's core ingredients are labeled "excess". White chocolate is, essentially, made from trash. It's trash candy. I was making an extra hot trash mocha, made from garbage and lies.

This reminded me of a time, a couple of weeks ago, when I was making cookies at my coffee shop. I was making molasses cookies and it occurred to me that I didn't know what molasses even were. A quick Wikipedia-ing told me then that molasses were also GARBAGE FOOD. They were made from sugar excess and at one point and time were given to slaves. They were SLAVE GARBAGE cookies.

I'm all about calling a spade a spade, despite how yummy that spade may be. So next time you're order your mocha, try a garbage mocha.



I totally feel this song, man. I'm totally in to Asian chicks, too.
