I used to live on Leeward side. I commuted by Express Bus to work. Express Bus is quite convenient (but now it is getting more crowded). Unless you carpool, it makes more sense to commute by Express Bus to the workplace.
Yeah, unfortunately there is no comparable dress for women.

They have some bags saying 100% Kona Coffee. Those sell at a much higher price.
I am talking Federal Labeling law, which overrules the 10% local state law: A product can not advertise its minority content as the majority content on the label or in its name. ESPECIALLY when they use USA regional names.


Try that with 10% Kentucky Bourbon and the unmentioned 90% being imported from China.

Both.


I can't see them going as business wear, sure I've worn a nice muumuu to an evening business function and I've worn the sundress version on the weekend, but I can't see this becoming an office wear type of thing in most places.

One, the good ones are expensive (like the shirts); and unless you wear an off the shoulder or tank style (not appropriate for offices), most women are not going to cover themselves in the fashion equivalent of a tent.

The proteins and minerals from the dissolved coqui frogs in that so-called "Waiākea" water probably adds something to its premium cachet.

But you raised a good question. Do those products really contain 10% Kona coffee? Frankly I don't know.
does hamburger contain 30% fat??
