  „Apparently, the corners on some cups cause the froth to collapse.There are, however, some drawbacks to the pump-operated maker: The water is not quite as hot as other methods, improving the flavour, but can be too cold if milk is added. Although the maker normally has a steam attachment for frothing milk for cappucinos, this can't be done at the same time as making the coffee, because the water is not hot enough, so you must turn on the steam attachment, wait a minute for it to warm up and then froth the milk. It is easier to froth the milk by other means, such as a swizzle stick. The machine is slow.“

  „There are many theories as to why ads are placed in the most obtrusive locations of the communication flow.One theory states that ads, by surprising the viewer at unpredictable moments, catch them with their mental guards down, allowing the ad message easier passage into the viewer's mind and increasing the effectiveness of the advertising message.Another theory says that by cunningly placing ads right after a surprising revelation or some other occurance that raises a viewer's sense of anticipation, the advertising message will catch the viewer paying more attention, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the advertising message.A third theory, more cynical than the other two, points out that, as often as not, the ads are more interesting than the communication flow, and the viewer deserves a reward for making it that far. Because people, in general, usually like rewards, the ad evokes a good feeling in the viewer, and this good feeling gets associated with the product in the advertisement.It has been said that the only difference between a simple sign with the name of a product on it and a full blown print ad campaign is $20M, six months of client meetings, three weeks of allnighters, fourteen gallons of half-double-mocca-decaf, several cases of cigarettes, and too many out of control egos.It should also be noted that the best ads never actually make it to production because they are so clever as to ultimately make someone along the approval chain 1) jealous because they didn't think of the idea or 2) nervous because the idea is really that mind-boggling good.   “
