  1. Little fun fact about coffe, from Lisboa, Portugal. One of the slang words for coffee, here, is bica . When coffee was first introduced, by one of the earliest coffee shops, the public didn't really like it, because many tought it was too bitter. So the shop got the idea of promoting coffee with sugar, the slogan being "Drink this with coffee", and that worked like a charm. The slogan in portuguese is "Beba Isto Com Açucar", B-I-C-A.
