(Starting a new thread, 'cause I we started with some puns in [another](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nuclear-attack-scenario/925328/63) one).

Hi, I’m **Tripler** , longtime SDMB member, and when I’m not off deterring the world from nuclear annihilation, I moonlight as President and CEO of TripCo Industries.

Today, we’re here to offer you the finest in ‘sunshine spectaculars’ of a breakfast blend, “_Up and Atom!_” coffee–sure to blast you off into a great [new START](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_START) to your day. You haven’t had a half-life so energized after a cup of our blend; and as our unpaid spokesman @LSLGuy will attest, “_It’s self heating!_” Your co-workers will glean all sorts of energy off of your radio-activity after a mug of our mud!

Some of our line of daughter products include:

- “_[Teapot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Teapot)_” blend, for that nuclear Cowboy coffee taste. [Major Kong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Strangelove#Slim_Pickens_as_Major_T._J._%22King%22_Kong) tested, and approved!
- Our decaf “_Muddy Dud fer yer Mug_,” blend, with hand-select beans by our roasting containment vessels’ expert @jnglmassiv
- For a snack, try @Machine_Elf’s _Yellowcake_ breakfast pastry–great when paired with our “_Fuller Lodge_” blend for that old-timey, full-bodied, log cabin taste.

Go to your local grocery store today, and try one of TripCo’s new blends of coffee. You’re sure to develop some [strange love](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Strangelove) for our coffee. And be sure to share with your friends for that mutually assured caffienation feel in the office!

So fire up your inner [cyclotrons](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclotron) today with a shot of java that’ll bring you to a new [Crossroads](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Crossroads) of productivity!

DISCLAIMER: TripCo Industries is not responsible for environmental cleanup or decontamination after use of our coffee in your cup; your mother does not work here so wash your own mugs. TripCo Coffee is not available for export due to the Treaty of Non-Proliferation of kickass coffee to rogue states. EPA permitting is the sole requirement of the brewing agent.

You guys knew this thread was inevitable.

No, but we’re working on the licensing to start work on [Organic Plutonium.](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--g-d0YAX06w/UG0H8X7u6UI/AAAAAAAAKEo/_jlB6xs9mWo/s1600/Organic+Plutonium+by+Ed+Grothus.jpg).

We _could_ start a new line of soft drinks. Our Product Research Division spun up something called “_Fizzle_”: for when you need a bang of energy, but it might leave you a little flat.

Tripler  
We at TripCo Industries are always open to new suggestions.

Unfortunately not. All of our coffee blends are nitrate free.

Tripler  
We’ll give your friend a coupon, though.
