Talk:Coffee pixie stick
Looks to be 4 spleen from what I can see as I used 3 of them then used 3 moxie weeds before hitting spleen full. Also I got 6 , 8, and 8 turns from using them. Also also no level requirement! --RebusSohal 07:28, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
This item has a level requirement of 4. Its basically like an Agua de Vida.--Muffinbrute 01:29, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
It is 4 spleen, could use 4 with 1 mojo filter, afterwards spleen was full. Results are: 1: 8 adventures 2: 6 adventures 3: 5 adventures 4: 10 adventures --Zweefteef 08:02, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
References Eddie Izzard's "Covered in Bees" sketch, I think an example of which is on Youtube.?--Cnorgard 10:39, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- It would only be a reference to that if it mentioned bees. It's just a general reference to "I like my women like I like my coffee" expressions. You can see several versions here. --Starwed 17:19, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Izzard is cited as a possible source for the same joke on thermos full of Knob coffee. --Club (#66669) (Talk) 17:31, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Wouldn't it at least be a reference to the Pixy Stick type of candy, though? Or is that too general of a food? Ruduen 05:51, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Possible Reference
- To me this looks like a Folgers Crystals reference, but I guess not everyone agrees, so let me explain. They had a long-running series of commercials where they replaced expensive coffee with their product. The exact wording was variable, but it seems to be best remembered as: "We've secretly replaced their regular coffee with Folger's Crystals, let's see if anybody notices." So we've got the same elements here, something replaced with instant coffee, and a comment about whether anyone will notice. So what do you think, reference or no? --ManaUser 04:20, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
- No. If it's very contrived like that, and nitpicking one or two similar items, AND you have to ask, it's most likely not a reference. The phrase is referring to the laziness of the staff passing off coffee as candy. Not coffee.. as coffee. Argus 00:28, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
- I don't "have to ask", and it's not "very contrived", though I admit, if it's an intentional reference, it's more subtle than most. But if the consensus is that there is no reference, that's fine. It's certainly not worth arguing about. --ManaUser 01:08, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
- i think this sounds like you're right. i took it out becuase the two ads i youtubed didn't support your hypothesis. can you find one there that does? on the face of a tag line in the contxt of its product is a definite reference. do you have evidence? --Evilkolbot 06:38, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
- These commercials would have been before YouTube was even a twinkle in someone's eye. So I'm not sure you would even find them there. --Flargen 07:46, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
- it's really amazing what you can find. still no "see if anyone notices" though. just mrs olsen. --Evilkolbot 19:28, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
- Try this one. It's odd that it's so hard to find online being as popular as it was. Nowadays the parodies are more popular than the ads. --Orochidp 19:58, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folgers It's listed on the wikipedia page. --Discoshen3 20:06, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
- i stand corrected. --Evilkolbot 20:35, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
