Bizarre detail in coffee shop sign leaves customer baffled

An Adelaide man stopping for coffee has been left baffled by a small detail on a sign in the shop’s window.

Upon closer inspection of Manna Coffee Shop he discovered the small Norwood Business was not what it seemed.

Tyson Drysdale said he was driving down Kensington Rd looking for a caffeine hit when he saw the words Manna Coffee Shop printed large across a shop window.

“I saw this place and specifically pulled over to get a coffee from it. But, to my disappointment ...” he wrote on Facebook.

An A4 sheet of paper stuck in the window explained: “Sorry, we do not sell coffee here.”

“It would drive coffee addicts up the wall,” Drysdale said.

“They’ll be disappointed when they read the small contradictory sign in the shopfront. The sign is just so small and obscure that no one driving can read it.”

The revelation left many people unsure about what the restaurant actually sold.

“Well, I’m confused,” one person wrote.

“Maybe they mean bulk coffee? They only sell it by the cup?” another asked.

“Only sells hot cocoa and sodas, right?” another said.

The coffee shop is actually an Asian-fusion restaurant which sells “authentic home-cooked Malaysian” food.

The business did once sell coffee alongside its Asian cuisine, according to a 2019 Facebook post featuring a menu board with coffee options. But java is no longer on the menu.

While some were quick to comment “false advertising”, Drysdale said it was “just a funny situation”.

“It’s no big deal,” he said. “Just one of those quirky things in life to laugh about.”

Joyce Tsang of Stone & Star on Self-Care and Setting Intentions for the New Year

Image
Joyce Tsang, the founder of Stone & Star, shares her self-care routine and tells Prestige why 2024 is the year of ceremony, celebration and new rituals. This year is an eight-year in astrology, which is all about abundance and expansion. There’s a shift happening this year that will never happen again in this lifetime and it’s Pluto moving into Aquarius. And if you subscribe to feng shui, all the masters will tell you we’re entering a new 20-year cycle. Either way, it’s almost like a rebirth for everyone. It also fits nicely with the Year of the Wood Dragon too, which is all about building a foundation and growth. This is the Year of Ceremony for me. There’s so much around this word, it could mean a public ceremony, like a marriage, or it could mean an inner ceremony and setting new rituals. The most important thing to remember this year is to treat life as sacred and to celebrate life and to embrace all the joys and magnificent experiences tha...

'Parrot fever' outbreak in 5 European countries kills 5 people

Image
An outbreak of a respiratory infection that most often affects birds has killed five people in Europe, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns. During 2023 and the start of 2024, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands have reported an "unusual and unexpected increase" in cases of so-called parrot fever, beyond what's been seen in previous years, the WHO said in a statement Tuesday (March 5). In all, the illness has affected almost 90 people, with five deaths reported among them.  Parrot fever, or psittacosis , is caused by a species of bacteria called Chlamydia psittaci (also spelled Chlamydophila psittaci ) . The bacteria can infect many mammals — including dogs, cats and horses — but most often infects birds.  Humans can catch psittacosis by inhaling airborne particles containing C. psittaci , but human-to-human transmission of the disease is very rare , with only a handful of cases ever reported. Instead, most people develop psittacosi...

Untrained bystanders can administer drone-delivered naloxone, potentially saving lives of opioid overdose victims

An onlooker – even one without prior training – can successfully administer naloxone to an overdose victim within about a minute of a drone delivering the lifesaving opioid reversal agent. That’s the key finding of my team’s newly published study. Naloxone is also known by the name brand Narcan. The study involved 17 participants responding to a simulated overdose . Each simulation included an un trained participant who portrayed a bystander , a box of naloxone deliver ed by drone , a mannequin as the overdose victim , and a panicked observer. The latter added a sense of urgency by continually shouting at the bystander throughout the simulation. Via a video playing on a screen carried by the drone, the bystander received instructions on how to use the naloxone, which is administered as a nasal spray. We timed each participant on how long it took them to correctly give the medication during this crisis moment. Our trial revealed that the average time for someon...
