OT, but that's a mindnumbingly stupid name for coffee with butter in it.

Welcome to marketing.

To be fair, it is no different than most other coffee drinks. Are there any where the name really indicates what is in it? I remember the first time I had a Cafe Cubano. Way more sugar than I would have ever expected.

So... this derives its name from the person pushing it. Not that odd.

I am more than a little curious on this drink, now. Will definitely be adding it to my watch/reading list.

Cuba has been famous for its sugar for centuries, so yeah, that name makes sense.

Okay, it's not better than eating a healthy breakfast. I presume, though, that the type of person who would drink solely (adulterated) coffee for breakfast isn't the type to eat breakfast in the first place. The question is never "is this the best option," it's "is this better than the option the group of people who would use it are currently using?"

Presumably, these folks are right now just drinking straight coffee. So, is this an improvement on straight coffee?
