"Butternut Rum?" Who decided this would make a good coffee flavor?

The coffee in my office is your standard sucky corporate coffee. Today, however, we've hit a new low -- butternut rum.

What the hell is butternut rum? Butternut's a squash. I suppose there's enough sugar in squash to make rum. I can't imagine why anyone would, though, so I'll just assume it's a buttery-nutty-rummy concoction I don't want any part of.

:puke:

1. Maybe it's supposed to taste like those butternut candies which are

basically butterscotch? Gross all the same though, I agree. Bleh!

Of course, we'll let you go first. Tell us how it was.

6. Wasn't it a Life Saver flavor at one time?

I haven't eaten Life Savers in a long time. If it was, I remember it being good.
