Annually 9 Million pieces of mail are addressed simply to "The Gettysburg Address".

Medieval mail used to be deposited in a box suspended from a post by a chain. Squires would practice their horsemanship by grabbing the box from the post while riding by, all while clad in full armor. They would then hand off the box to a knight waiting at the next post, and so on, from post to post.

This is, of course, why we call it "chain mail".

Wife informs me that $tarbuck$’ new “Oleato” marketing push reminds her of a decade or so back’s “Olestra” campaign from potato chip companies and the like (as a “healthy” fat substitute that severely churned some people’s stomachs & got pretty abruptly taken off the market, or at least rebranded into obscurity).

I can’t say I disagree, as “Oleato” sounds to me like adding oleomargarine to coffee. Something to try once or twice with crappy coffee & olive oil you may have lying around the house to see if it improves it, not to go a multinational “niche” industry standard-setting coffee chain for, to pay a premium for the “privilege.”
