    My office often has vendors onsite, can be anything really. Ive seen the book people, jewellery, the body shop..

    Today is "Oregano Gold" who sell coffee and they sent this email around today to let eveyone know:
    OREGANO GOLD
    Balances pH levels
    Provides energy
    Oxygenates the body
    Boosts the immune system
    Increase stamina
    Naturally detoxifies
    192 active antioxidants

    ALL OTHER COFFEE
    Dehydrates
    Raises stress levels
    Raises blood pressure
    Is acidic and toxic
    Causes caffeine crashes
    No nutritional value

    I have no words

    Oregano Gold sounds like something you'd smoke. ;)

    When I was working at a large electronics store I was telling a coworker about Quest bars and go the on eout of my purse to show him. Well one of the other workers grabbed it and said that is has over 20g of carbs so it was not good for you. I looked at him like he was crazy and asked him why. He then said "oh well I don't workout so I can't eat carbs". The next day a saw him chugging a 20oz coke.

    I guess there are no carbs in sugar.
