                                            Coffee that makes you fall asleep
                                                When people want to stay awake, many look for a rich cup of coffee to keep their
                                            energy up. However, from now on, you will have to be more careful because there is a new
                                            coffee in the market, called Counting Sheep Coffee, which will make you fall asleep even
                                            faster and sleep more soundly. As Deland Jessop, sheep executive officer, has explained
                                            that his team aimed to create a great-tasting coffee that would help people relax after a
                                            long active day, Counting Sheep Coffee has been developed and engineered to put you
                                            to sleep. Besides that fact that Valerian is a plant that has been used as a mild sedative
                                            and a sleep inducer, the team has discovered that Valerian roots’ bitter taste actually
                                            works well with the taste of coffee. As a result, the Counting Sheep Coffee helps the
                                            drinkers sleep through the night or wake up fewer times during the night and this new
                                            revolutionary drink is tasty, too. Therefore, if regular decaffeinated coffee still keeps
                                            you awake, try the Counting Sheep Coffee.


                    Wine Ice-cream
                        We usually like to have options; however, when
                    it is time to choose between the two equally great but en-
                    tirely unique choices, like wine and ice-cream, we might
                    become indecisive and torn. Fortunately, we no longer
                    have to make this decision since Mercer’s Dairy, a dairy
                    farm in Boonville, New York, has successfully invented
                    wine ice-cream. Note that it is not just wine-flavored
                    ice-cream, but it is wine-infused ice-cream! Mercer’s
                               Dairy has revealed that combining wine
                               and ice-cream was not a simple task as
                               high quantities of alcohol made it difficult
                               for the ice-cream mixture to freeze. The
