  14. Gourmet food descriptions crack me up... by f-matic · · Score: 2, Funny
    The whole exaggerated excessiveness of gourmet food advertising sometimes just makes me laugh. Does this description (from the RJ Tarpley site):

    We start by selecting 100% arabica beans from the worlds finest coffee growers. The coffee beans are then carefully roasted in small batches by our Master Roaster according to his exacting specifications and delivered to your front door.

    ...remind anyone else of the Simpsons's Good Morning Burger?

    We take eighteen ounces of sizzling ground beef, and soak it in rich, creamery butter, then we top it off with bacon, ham, and a fried egg. We call it the Good Morning Burger.
