I always suspected this.

Nice. I'm afraid to see how pecan pie is made...

Anyone for a nice piece of Banana Cream Pie?

As our friends across the pond would say, chocolate pudding is "right out".

I think I've met that puking pumpkin.

I think I've BEEN that puking pumpkin! (Fortunately not recently...)

What is that REALLY expensive coffee where cats eat the beans, they collect the droppings, wash and roast... not a joke... no, not tried it...

Kopi Luwak, a/k/a cat poop coffee.

Dave, was there research involved in that answer, or is it something you "just sorta knew"?

I first read about it in one of Dave Barry's books, it came from one of his "I am not making this up" columns.

I saw something about it on the news last year, I think from the UK. A shop was selling cups of the coffee for some outlandish amount, like $100 a cup, with the proceeds going to charity. Sorry, I wouldn't buy or drink cat poop coffee even for a worthy charity.

It's a civet cat, which really isn't a cat. I don't think there are civet cats in Ohio outside of zoos. And there's that little matter of growing Sumatran coffee in your climate.

OTOH if your cat eats coffee berries and only partially digests them, maybe you should put on some rubber gloves and start picking them out of the litter box. Then when you take your business plan to an investment banker, be sure to record the conversation for us.

The cat shit coffee ("catty loo ate"?) featured heavily in that Morgan Freeman/Jack Nicholson buddy movie The Bucket List where they are both dying (cancer) old men and befriend each other after hating each other's guts initially. Ends with their ashes jointly in tin boxes on the top of some mountain they always wanted to climb. Cute flic.

"You're shitting me?" "Cats beat me to it!"

I'd give it a try if I had a chance to. I eat bee puke (= honey) and lobster with the guts intact, so why bother about that cat? I've seen stuff more gross than this in most sausage factories:

Great line!

No thanks, I'll just stick to my Eight O'Clock Coffee. And ~~bee poop~~ honey on my cereal.
