What's the Point?

There's certain things in this world that have been created that there is literally no point to. Let's start with Kaliber beer and other non alcoholic beers. Why? What is the point? Who drinks beer simply for the taste of it? Answer: nobody. People drink beer BECAUSE it has alcohol in it. How often do you hear people say, "Man, what a tough week, I need a drink - pass me a glass of milk"? NEVER!! The same principle aplies to Kaliber, "Man, what a tough week, I need a drink - pass me a beer - but make sure it's non-alcoholic!"

Next we have vegetarian sausages and burgers. Why? The whole point of sausages and burgers is that they are made of delicious overly processed meat. Here's an idea: if you don't like/can't eat meat for some reason, don't go into Macdonald's with the desire to order anything other than fries! If a vegetarian has a desire to eat sausages and burgers then they're just kidding themselves - they don't really want to be vegetarians! The same applies to vegetarian-friendly beef flavoured crisps - a genuine product!

Next up - pizzas (you can see a lot of these rants are food and drink based). What are the two main ingredients on any pizza? Answer: cheese and tomato. They're like Italian staple ingredients - how many Italian dishes don't contain at least one or both of these? If you're lactose intolerant or allergic to tomato, why on earth would you look at pizza and think, "Ooh yum, that looks great!"?

I have a similar issue with de-caffeinated coffee. Who actually enjoys the tatse of coffee? No one. If they say they do, they're lying. It's gross. People have that first cup of coffee in the morning, and subsequent ones throughout the day as a pick-me-up, to get that extra caffeine boost.

Seriously, what's next?

Ice cream that isn't cold?

Fruit cake without fruit?

A car without an engine? Or wheels?

A plane that doesn't fly?

A zoo without animals?

A clock that doesn't tell time?

A TV with no picture? Ok that is pretty much a radio.

A mosquito that doesn't bite? Actually that one would be good.

There are certain things though, that whilst seemingly a little ludricous actually make a lot of sense, i.e. bungy jumping, parachuting, etc. The concept of flinging oneself from a great height may seem tantamount to insanity but is actually exhilarating.

The same can also be said of cage diving with Great White sharks.
