Who is Juan Valdez and why I drink instant coffee
Instant coffee gets a bad rap. But like it or not, instant coffee---a freeze-dried, powdered concentrated form of coffee--- is coffee. And like other types of coffee, it is full of antioxidants. The obvious downside for many people, however, is that instant coffee has a different flavor profile than traditionally brewed coffee. But that does not mean that it can’t be good.

After, several pots of Whole Foods Pacific Rim Organic,several selections pushed themselves to the top of the list,
King;
George
Bling
Simon
Kong
Nigel
Krakatoa
were all among the nominees. However, and I think you'll agree, the winning name has the style, the substance, the probity, necessary for a future ruler. The Galactic, Trans-global Institute is proud to annoounce that, in our collective opinion, the name of the royal progeny and the future King should be;

Hi Pi,
