Bikini Coffee -- now expanding -- offers more than one kind of stimulant.

    The 'it isn't safe' argument fails.

    Sorry, but those who are seeking to express their outrage with the argument that 'it just isn't safe' are off the mark. Had you rather wear garments that would soak up these boiling hot liquids and then hold them and all that heat against your skin to deepen the burn, or had you rather have the result of that accident run off of your bare skin quickly and take the heat with it?

    Leave the 'it ain't safe' argument alone. Express the source of your true outrage, that being the idea that young pretty things will be using their young pretty parts on display to hawk coffee and get bigger tips.

    I don't know if Bikini coffee will be opening in my neck of the woods, but if they do, I will likely drop in for a C-sized cup.
