Coffee Called ‘Death Wish’ Has Been Recalled Because It Actually Might Kill You | Fortune.com

Quote:
A coffee producer has recalled a product called 'Death Wish' over fears that some cans could contain a potentially-fatal deadly toxin known as botulin.

In a statement, the U.S. Food and Drink Administration (FDA) said the Death Wish Coffee Co. had determined that the current production process for its 11-oz Death Wish Nitro Cold Brew cans could lead to the growth and production of botulin.
quite possibly not the smartest name to choose for a beverage..

Whoops. This is similar to the restaurant called the heart attack grill or whatever and people actually died there of heart attacks.

I saw a restaurant called "Crusty Grill". I am 90% sure the owners weren't native English speakers and they didn't run the name past anything more then the Google Translator.

Names are important.

Anyways...why would anyone want to think of dying while consuming food or beverage? I must be too old to get it.

It's meant to convey a sense of extremism, decadence, etc. I mean if you're gonna die, die from something you really love, like coffee or chocolate. https://www.pinterest.com/explore/de...olate/?lp=true

I guess I never related to that phrase because...how can chocolate kill (caffeine from coffee can but there is no way chocolate has enough) and I don't really like chocolate. Cant figure out how it kills?

Coffee can. So can heart attack food at a greasy spoon.

Chocolate can kill the same way the greasy spoon food does, by eating way too much of it..
People don't have a heart attack over one loaded monster burger or whatever, it's the accumulated fat and cholesterol of eating that junk for years that kills

Reminds me of a case study in college on why GM sold so few Chevy Nova's in the 1970s in Mexico and Latin America.

Because "No Va" means No (Doesn't) Go in Spanish....

It's a made up story.

Nova Don't Go
