Three times dead from Coffee

Welcome to our "Trivia" section, for those of you who tune in at the last minute, today we are talking with Björk Bowie, social therapist and lyricist who came to present her most recent literary work "Tales of a sybarite", and as we are in the context of the celebration of coffee pride month, well, we will talk about coffee, in the most fun, creative and abstract way possible.

When you hear the phrase "Death by coffee", what is the first thing that comes to your mind?

— Oh my God, something very strange, but I know the story of Don Anselmo Anselmi, an old man, retired, widower, with a bad temper, it's like putting in a blender Mr. Fredricksen from the movie "Up" and Shrek before meeting Fiona, that day processing his own coffee, in the middle of the quality control process, he choked on a seed, did not receive first aid in time and died of asphyxiation, the epitaph said "Death by coffee".

Wow, is this story real?

— No, I just made it up, I'm a big fan of the TV show "A Thousand Ways to Die" and I'm also very creative.

And what other ways can you think of?

— Well... Laura Raula, the weirdo from the Faculty of Agronomy, wanted to break the Guinness record for the largest cup of coffee in the world, the preparation could be compared to an Olympic swimming pool, many hands wiggling the broth, a stumble with some distracted person made her lose her balance and she ended up boiled in her own coffee, a shame, besides all the dust that was lost that day, maybe 4 years of coffee for an ambitious family.

Very strong, I would rather die like Don Anselmo.

— Me too.

Perhaps, the best thing would be that coffee, instead of giving us death, gives us life.

— Of course, like every morning, that divine, ancestral, cultural, global, just and necessary preparation to start the day with good energy.

Well, it is also proper to recognize that we went to the most literal scenarios.

— You just read my mind, for example, in Spain, the phrase "I stay dead" is widely used to refer to being shocked, enraptured, in a state of shock, by an event, news, a design, a show, so it happened to Almudena, charismatic girl, psychotherapy assistant, one day she entered by mistake to a conference room, she wanted a coffee, one of those that the machine issues, while walking she bumped into an older woman, they exchanged glances, Almudena told her: I love your perfume and those big earrings look wonderful on you!, The woman smiled shyly at the compliment and answered: "Come with me!", she gave her a cup of special coffee, she said: "This is a sample of the Bilderberg group's coffee, it is not commercial, the formula is secret and we make it here!" Almudena tasted Eden in one gulp, and said: "I had a palate orgasm, I'm dead, spontaneous metaphor!".

Sensational, then I have changed my mind, I choose to die like Almudena.

— There are two of us, plus my love for coffee is so much that I created a playlist on Spotify of popular love songs that talk about coffee.

How wonderful, then, with your permission, that will be tomorrow's topic, thank you for joining us, it was a pleasure to share with you.

— The pleasure is mine, may you never lack a good coffee and don't forget to buy my book "Tales of a sybarite".
