Café du Monde it’s not. But Marjorie Morris may have gotten a taste of New Orleans when she bought a 2-pound bag of freeze-dried Folgers coffee containing a dead baby turtle.
Like a prize in a Cracker jack box, only perhaps slightly more disappointing, the turtle was discovered near the bottom of the bag after Morris had been using the coffee for a month.
“I thought it was a toy at first,” said Morris.
But was it a bit of Hurricane Katrina blowback? A customer service representative for Folgers explained to the understandably perplexed Morris that because more than half of Folgers coffee is produced at its New Orleans plant the turtle may have ended up in the bag as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
How many tiny terrapins gasped their last trapped in a bag of coffee while self-proclaimed FEMA “fashion god”Michael Brown was busy e-mailing his pals about his wardrobe? Oh, the humanity.
