Top Five Fun Facts

A lot of information on this blog is educational (such as the history and types of coffee) and that can get a little boring. How about I spice it up with the top five fun facts about coffee! Everyone loves fun facts, you can share them and impress your friends, or just feel a little more well-rounded.

1. There is a lethal does of caffeine. A person hits that limit at about 100 cups of coffee. No, time does not slow down like in the Futurama episode, although that would be cool.

2. Coffee is psychoactive. If you drink too much, you could start to see things and become delusional.

3. Coffee is the second most traded product on Earth. It's only behind oil.

4. Hawaii is the only US state that commercially grows coffee.

5. The first ever webcam was invented...for coffee! At the University of Cambridge, students of the Computer Science department invented the webcam to monitor if the lounge coffee pot was full or not.
