Not Starbucks

[beige_alert]

I’m just back from lunch and, while in the cafeteria, I noticed a coffee vending machine. I’ve discovered that I like some of the more chocolaty coffee-containing drinks from the likes of Starbucks and other places of that sort. The vending machine seems less appealing. In particular, I noticed that you can get your coffee with or without something called “Lightener.” Not cream, not even “creamer,” but “Lightener.” That sounds rather vague. The term “Lightener” would seem to set the bar rather low for potential ingredients.
