I was getting coffee from the shop in our office the other day. I saw this label and laughed… because “Rain Forest Nut” brings to mind a crazy man in the Amazon jungles, complete with ragged shorts, leathery skin, and bushy beard with a plentitude of tiny creatures nesting in it. At least, that’s what “Rain Forest Nut” brings to MY mind.

Just after I took this picture, a group of managers walked into the shop.

“Oh my god! Look! They have Rain Forest Nut today!”

“Yessss!”

“Finally!”

They were bouncing with excitement, like mindless rain forest monkeys.

The other coffee choice that day was “Harvard Blend.” The monkeys turned away with disdain.

I was not surprised.
