From National Avocado Day to National Martini Day, national celebrations of food and drink are running rampant while corporate interests are raking in the advertising dollars.

“Whimsical as these days seem, the creation and maintenance of national days are a phenomenon with massive financial implications.

But the general idea is that Atomo will create a cup of coffee from the bottom up, using the building blocks that comprise it, including quinic acid, dimethyl disulfide, niacin, 2-ethylphenol, and a handful of other elements.”
