New elephant poop coffee hits high-end cafés. The beans come from a herd of 20 elephants in Thailand which eat coffee beans, then poop them out a day later for human dung beetles to collect. Called Black Ivory Coffee, it costs $500 per pound or $50 per serving. What is it P.T. Barnum said about suckers?

That’s just disgusting.
I love to cook and I go to the “gourmet” sites – they east the NASTIEST things. It’s like gross = enlightened. Like lamb testicles or food wrapped in cow stomach lining. Then there is the cruelty stuff, like force-feeding geese to make their livers fat for fois gras. I don’t get it – I just can’t imagine that those things taste SOOOOOO great that they are worth the disgusting-ness. *Barf*

This seems like a take off of the Kopi luwak or civet coffee made from the beans of coffee berries once they have been eaten and excreted by the Asian Civet (cat like animal). Just looked at some pictures. Their poop resembles a Payday candy bar.

Oh great, now I can never eat a Payday again.
As for the take-off, I think you’re right. The Canadian entrepreneur said to himself, “How can I make bigger batches of that civet coffee so I can make a shitload of money off suckers? Hey, what if I use elephants instead of civets!?”

Yeah. How the heck did Starbucks ever get popular? Their coffee is horrendous. For GOOD chain coffee, you need to head to Canada and Tim Hortons. The Timmies in the US are not the same. I swear, whatever they put in it up there is amazing!

A few years ago the big chains decided to grab a little of Starbucks business by improving their coffee. Everybody got better, including Dunkin Donuts, but I swear to God the coffee at Burger King is the best. At about a quarter the price of Starbucks.

I have a question about what’s going on in the photo. If I wanted some elephant poop, and had some elephants to get it from, I think I would pour a nice concrete slab, keep it real clean, and sweep the poop up after the elephant was done. Is there some reason they need to stand at the back of the elephant with a bowl and catch it directly?
