Explosive coffee.

Story from this morning’s Dallas Morning News: 9-year-old brings home explosive. Boy says he got it from another student; device detonated safely.
And I quote: ” “The device was described as a metal coffee can and contained a black powder,” Deputy Reyna said.”
Could it have been… gasp… coffee??!?!??! Could we have a few more adjectives please?
A black metallic powder?
A black unscented powder?
A brand of black gun powder?
As it turns out, the black powder was just coffee, and that “explosion” was the rush of caffeine running through your veins. Starbucks should’ve gotten in on the whole thing and used it as an advertising campaign. Or maybe not.
