1. My vote is for Turkish coffee and Turkish cigarettes.

Both are the best of their kind, in my opinion.

4. I love Turkish coffee. yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

How long before Starbucks catches on and ruins it? LOL Give it another year or two...

[Spider Jerusalem]

8. Never catch on.

Most Americans would try it, and react thusly: "Eeeew!!!! It's got grounds in it! Dude, what the fuck is wrong with Turkish people?"

[RodneyCK2]

9. LOL.."Is this mud? Ewwwww..."

You are probably correct, but again, nothing a little Starbucks marketing couldn't fix.

Raspy-voiced spokesperson: "New and improved Starbucks Turkish Coffee, the coffee without the mudslide.."

6. I hear Clinton can drive a woman crazy with a Turkish cigarette.

2. Pickled Ginger

13. Definately better than Three Sheets to the Wind Mrs. Howell (n/t)

5. First thing I thought of was Lucy Liu.

7. Would anime and kaiju count?

10. You forgot opium bonghits

not that I would have voted for it or anything.

[Spider Jerusalem]

11. Ah, opium hash.

I miss being able to get that stuff...<sigh>
