Would You Care For a Stick of Gum?

I stopped in at the neighborhood convenience store to buy a soda. On my way to the cash register I saw a fascinating display. "What is it?" I wondered. As I got closer I couldn't believe my eyes. Coffee flavored gum. Wow! My mouth began to water. I like coffee and I like gum. One would assume that I would therefore enjoy coffee flavored gum. I took a pack out of the completely full display. Did I get the first very pack of the newest "it" product? I couldn't wait to get back to the office and share my prize.
With great eagerness I made my way back to MindComet HQ. My mind was racing. Would I develop a pack a day habit? Would we chew coffee gum instead of brewing the much anticipated 3:00 PM carafe of java? Did my new gum come chock full of caffeine?
I got to my desk and took a few seconds to savor the moment. I carefully unwrapped the gum and started to chew. This was going to be so awesome!
Oh no! It was not good, not good at all. In fact, it was really really bad. I quickly spit the gum into the trash. One of the reasons coffee drinkers chew gum is to hide to potential offense odor coffee produces. It occurred to me that coffee gum will not mask, but simply add to the offensiveness.
My mood was dashed. There was no treasure to share. I sat crestfallen, thinking about my earlier, rather flip assumption. While I do like coffee and I do like gum, I do not like coffee gum.
