Everybody has something they buy before they’re even close to running out. Maybe it’s real butter, the good toilet paper, or the dog treats your dog has come to regard as a contractual obligation.
For me, it’s coffee — k-cup pods for the win!
I have enough coffee to get my small hometown through a month. The town does not know this, and I’d appreciate it if you kept it to yourself.
When I open the last box, coffee goes on the grocery list. And by “last box,” I mean the last one in the kitchen. There’s more upstairs. Obviously.
So tell me.
What’s one thing you refuse to run out of, and what do you somehow forget to buy every single time?
Now you know: The world’s first webcam watched a coffee pot. In 1991, researchers at the University of Cambridge set up a camera so they could see whether there was coffee left before walking down several flights of stairs. The feed went on the web in 1993.
