The Fun of Coffee

Today was Sunday; holiday for many, but not for me. I had to complete a project and because of lack of sleep from past one week, I was feeling sleepy. I rushed to grab some coffee to keep myself awake. When I saw coffee in my coffee mug, it reminded me of a friend with whom I used to share coffee. We were addicted to drink black coffee and sometimes without sugar. That friend became inspiration for me to write this article.

I wondered that why coffee is not sweet but still loved by so many people all over the world. It is surprising to see so many people addicted to coffee. Many even can’t start their day without a cup of coffee. The importance of coffee encouraged me to find fun facts about it. I am going to share few funny facts of coffee which may leave you in shock.

The first one is very interesting fact. Origin of coffee dates back to ninth century when a shepherd accidently discovered coffee beans. He observed that these beans were making his goats crazy. Interestingly, goats love coffee beans.

If you want to die then drink more than hundred cups of coffee in a single day. I am sure you will die of dehydration.

This one is really funny. In Europe, few royal families used to drink fifty cup of coffee in single day because of one reason that they were ruling. Now I am not sure, that from where they came up of such deadly thought.

In ancient Arab, if a man doesn’t provide enough coffee to his wife then the wife can legally divorce the man. Now that is called empowering women in coffee style.

After sharing these facts with you, I feel I should start drinking coffee more in a day. At least it will reduce my habit of sleeping at work.
