"In the latest edition of Time magazine, there is an
advertisement by Sanka wherein they announce a new contest. If
you can tell them how many coffee beans (to within 50) are
used, on average, to produce a 13 ounce can of ground Sanka,
you win *12* cans of the stuff."
I'd guess zero coffee beans per can of Sanka. And who would want
twelve cans of the stuff? I can make a better cup of coffee using
Linus Van Pelt's recipe for hot chocolate: dip a brown crayon in a cup
of warm water.
Is Time magazine including heavier ads in all their regional editions,
or is it just my part of the country that is so cursed? Last week's
issue had a cardboard fold-out three-dimensional image of the
TransAmerica pyramid, and a stapled-in booklet. It was so bulky that I
ripped out all the inserts before reading. The previous week was
similar, with a multi-page stapled-in booklet for the IBM PC, printed
on heavier stock. In both cases, after removing the advertising
matter, there wasn't much magazine left.
