This book really shines, though, in the beverage sections. Between frantic advertising pitches for Nestlé, they find time for some truly ridiculous drink recipes.
This is the entire recipe. No other ingredients, no other preparation. Somehow they expect us to believe that Quik magically becomes a "Calypso Cooler" when you drink it outdoors. Halfway through the first page, and they've already insulted our intelligence.
Again, this is the whole recipe. We're supposed to think that if you bring weak instant coffee mixed with brown sugar out of the house, there's some kind of mysterious chemical reaction and poof! You have an exotic Café Cuba.
By the way, nice touch naming the drink after (before 1959) a corrupt Mafia-run hellhole or (after 1959) a starving Communist hellhole.
I'd like to meet the depraved bastard who sampled iced tea and thought, "This would be so much better in nog form." Better drink it quick before the eggs curdle and you end up with a Nestea omelet.
