Yes. The Nestle people make Nescafe, and are responsible for the baby-milk scandal mentioned here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestl%C3%A9_boycott

(Basically, dump free baby-milk in third-world clinics. New mothers use it in insanitary conditions and their babies fall sick. And their own milk dries up, so they have no choice but to buy the expensive baby-formula. Even when they don't have clean water or bottle-sterilising facilities.)

And who can forget the time that Nestle tried to claim £7.3million from the poor Ethiopians? (as 'compensation' for a nationalised firm that they didn't even own at the time it was nationalised.)

Sometimes I am "right" through investigation and research.

Sometimes I accidentally trip over into a big bucket of accuracy without even realising it.

Can you guess which one happened here?

Yeah, because we need to keep mounting more and more convincing arguments to not buy instant coffee.

Ahh, admirable succinctness. Yeah, 'tis true, I'm not real good at that. Why write a sentence when you can write a chapter.

yep. i think the search for the epitome of cuteness is over.

wow, someone should put us in charge of finding answers to *all* the world's great problems ; apparently no challenge is too great for us.
