I could not make this up if I tried!

Ok, I thought I had heard of it all, all the weird and wonderful flavors of coffee on the market.
Boy was I wrong!
Introducing, for your (dis)pleasure.
Cat Crap Coffee
I'm not joking.
An import from Indonesia, Kopi Luwak Coffee is, due to its rarity and difficulty to..er.."harvest" comes in at one of the most rare and expensive coffee's in the world. This...does not surprise me! Only about 500 kilos can be gathered a year. Why? I already told you.
It comes from cat crap.
The Luwak, or Civet, Is a mammal more closely related to the skunk than the cat. It apparently has a natural instinct to eat only the very ripest fruit from coffee plants. While the fruit is digested by the little fuzzball the bean stays relatively unchanged, but its said that the ordeal messes with the protein levels of the bean, which is meant to be a major player in the bitterness of the coffee. This was the kicker though, supposedly coffee made from these washed and sterilized beans has a distinct.....Chocolate..taste ...I only want to know one thing.
Who the hell thought of this first?
"Oh, look! That small animal is eating the coffee...lets wait for it to come out the other side, wash it, and see how it tastes!"
For once I am left utterly speechless. Sound just a little too exotic and expensive for you? Then why not try its lower market counterpart.
Weasel Vomit Coffee.
Hailing from Vietnam, they feed the coffee to a rare weasel, then, after the little guy has barfed the lot up its cleaned, sterilized, and sent straight to the roasters.
One side of my mind is saying "What the hell is WRONG with you people"
The other half is saying "Hey I wonder how it tastes"
Only question is am I game enough to try?
Buy Cat Coffee
Weasel Coffee)Also some of the most disturbing treats and snacks I have EVER seen)
