Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 19, 2024

One time I was 23 years old. One time I had $901.

One time I was 16.8 feet tall. One time I was 63.4 feet tall. One time I was 187 miles tall and had to lie down.

May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

I heard the mafia use to rub garlic on their bullets to cause infection. I wonder who was correct? BTW, there is no mafia and they’ll kill anyone that says there is!

Nine hundred dollars per cup? No wonder that guy on the bridge was screaming.

I’ll pass on that coffee.

And those soldiers never got another date.

Garlic is an antibiotic and is anti viral. I don’t know if I’d rub it on open wounds though

When I leave town on vacation for a week and there is leftover coffee in the pot, I find that mold has started to grow upon my return. So what is it that is 22 years old? the beans or the grounds? If either have been well sealed in an airtight container, I doubt that the quality is improved by time.

The owners of The Munch heard the saying ’there’s a sucker born every minute’ and set out to prove its validity… They were successful beyond their wildest dreams!

Any word on why anyone is willing to pay $900 for a cup of coffee, irrespective of the age of said coffee?

For anyone curious about the coffee: https://matchmadecoffee.Com/the-munch-coffee-in-japan-costs-900/

$900 for old, stale coffee?!? Inflation must be really bad in Japan. I get my large coffee for a couple of bucks at a local truck stop, and the coffee is fresh, just a few minutes old. And it tastes way better than the overpriced, bitter coffee from Starbucks.

Knowing the army, it was probably powdered, being food grade, sterile, I can tell you it works, but it burns like heck, but not as much as using cayenne powder!

There’s no such thing as the Mediterranean Area Family Insurance Association!

That’s an interesting factoid about garlic. I wonder if it really worked.

Is the $900,00 coffee hot or cold?

What kind of ID does coffee carry to prove it’s over 21?

The Japan coffeehouse once again inspires me to make a fortune. Today’s idea is to buy a bunch of sealed, empty cans. Put a label of STUPID on it, and sell them for $500 a pop.

Ooh, that sounds like the way to lose a weekend, eh? The Tea Cozy Festival! Is parking close by?

That coffee will go great with my Diamond Fruitcake from Takashimaya Department Store in Tokyo

Garlic is antimicrobial/antibacterial. >

Is the coffee 200 years old? or just the beans that it’s made from?

I should sell stale cookies to dip into that coffee for $500 each then??

What they don’t tell you is that coffee in The Münch has been on the burner 22 years!
