Update on the Stokage
Office manager Nona Nelson tried the Stok black coffee shot. Here's what she had to say:
"I poured the shot of Stok into a venti Starbucks latte and so far as I continue to sip it I have not noticed much of a difference, not much of a difference at all, no, no, no, not the slightest bit jittery, so just fine here, except I am typing really fast...but other than that I am juuuuusssst fiiiiinnnnne....not manic at all...all is goooooooood here...where can I get mooooooore of this stuff?????"
Our sports writer, Doug Doughty, also tried a shot. Although he opted to take it straight.
He wrote:
"That elixir tasted a little bit like cough medicine."
Okay, so much for our very unscientific analysis of this new product. Now, how 'bout a recipe for some creamy asparagus soup? Might be a good weekend for it. Read on:
