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?

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?
Do you want fresh coffee or not?
Point taken.
I think I would like to sample the drink that Thailand Clown was consuming the afternoon he watched an elephant drop a #2 - then thought to himself - wonder what that would taste like if you ran it through some hot water with a coffee filter. Now THAT has to be some KIND OF DRINK! :-)
that kitten is so cute!
Man, I wouldn't drink that shit. Badda boom.
That was a crappy pun.
I shit ye not!! ;-)
that would scarab ull OUT of a china shop.
Are you wasted?
Scare a bull methinks
Our tax dollars are...that's why government bureaucrats enjoy that brand of coffee...it's free sh!t to them.
A good name for elephant poop coffee would be Boehner Dark Brew.
and the cat poop coffee?
if the cat poop coffee marketed right you might get a catastrophy
Or dogpoop?
That's nothing but business school dogma.
Café au Hillary.
pffftttt. Air Force coffee lookin' good about now.
:D
Wal Mart coffee looks good compared to this.
My Maxwell House is looking mighty good right now.
caf and calf camel carmel?
uh, it appears there is also monkey poop coffee and bird poop coffee. I get the feeling I might have to get off the java juice...just sayin'
Yeah I heard about the monkey poop variant years ago. No worries on accidental consumption though.. The processing is heavily labor intensive, and the sh-t is extremely expensive
Should be great for all those anal liberals.
Clearly a product that will have mass appeal to Libs, as is their obsession with SHIT.
Austin Powers: Cor! This coffee smells like shit.
Basil: It is shit, Austin.
Austin Powers: Oh, good, then it's not just me. It's a bit nutty.
I knew there was a reason I don't go to high end cafes.
Makes me glad I don't drink coffee!
I wonder if they sell the same brand popcorn
What kind of pop are you looking for?
recycled corn is green food i like algore to eat
Don't let the commiecrats at Starbucks find out someone is selling coffee for $500 a serving.
You stole my comment, Progressive Hemrrhoid! :-)
Sorry about that, but then Starbucks is good at fleecing the public with 8 dollar cups of burned tasting coffee, maybe I shouldn't give them any more ideas.
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.
McDonalds coffee isn't bad. I admit I like the medium roast Starbucks coffee, Pike Peak.
Just don't keep it in your lap while driving, stuff comes HOT.
Er, yeah, thanks, I'll stick with my Sumatra Mandheling.
