In what may be one of the oddest coffee-related April Fool’s pranks in recent memory, seafood chain Ivar’s unveiled a clam chowder vending machine.
Among the machine’s features? A shot of espresso mixed into your chowder.
Emphasis added:
Nectar Boost – patrons can optionally add in a shot of clam nectar for peak performance, Omega-3 boost or even mix in an espresso shot for extra pick-me up.
Let’s be glad this is a joke — it’s typically a bad sign when the “it’s X mixed with coffee” concept becomes an actual product.
