Surly's Soap Box

Spirits are flagging.


The crew is getting desperate: There seems to be no work on the horizon.

Often times, relieve was found here:



That's right, Häagen-Dazs Coffee Ice Cream, "the finest Brazilian coffee beans are roasted and brewed to perfection, bringing out their rich, complex flavor, then blended with pure, creamy Häagen-Dazs® ice cream."

Hmmm...Häagen-Dazs. Further depressing the crew is this:

The joke is that the ice cream comes in pint containers, not 1/2 cup containers. So there are 4 servings per container. Over a 1000 calories per container. Not what the crew needs to bolster his spirits while he's sitting in front of a computer pounding out resumes.

So, think, think, think.

Okay, 16 ounces in a pint.

Hmmmm...Pint! Like this:

Guinness: The healthy choice when you require 16 ounces of something to sooth your soul!

The crew's spirits are lifted!
