In this week&rsquo;s edition of &ldquo;Dead People Being Forced to Do Things They May or May Not Have Agreed to Do Had They Been Living,&rdquo; here comes the Joltin&rsquo; Joe Sparkling Espresso beverage.&nbsp;
From the press release:&nbsp;

&ldquo;Aptly named, this all-natural sparkling espresso delivers a jolt of energy either for a morning caffeine kick or for energy throughout the day. Joltin&rsquo; Joe is made with natural espresso coffee and contains no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.&rdquo;

You know, just like Joe DiMaggio!&nbsp;
Not that DiMaggio would have been too offended to see his product on the shelves. After all, the man did stump for Mr. Coffee:&nbsp;

And just how was DiMaggio convinced to sell Mr. Coffee? Vincent Marotta, the man behind Mr. Coffee, explains:&nbsp;

I searched around Cleveland for Mr. DiMaggio&rsquo;s unlisted telephone number. He lived in San Francisco. And I found a fellow who knew his unlisted number, and I rang Joe DiMaggio up on a Saturday morning. It was about 11:00; I shall never forget this. He answered the phone and I told him who I was, and of course, he said, `What&rsquo;s the name of that product?&rsquo; And I said, `Mr. Coffee. You haven&rsquo;t heard of it, Mr. DiMaggio, &lsquo;cause it&rsquo;s brand-new.&rsquo; And he said, `Well, I have heard of it.&rsquo; He said, `Yes, I was playing in a golf tournament last week. I won one as a prize.&rsquo; And I said to myself, `Hallelujah, hallelujah.&rsquo; I said, `Well, that&rsquo;s it, Mr. DiMaggio. I&rsquo;d like you to be my spokesman.&rsquo; And he said, `Well, I don&rsquo;t think so,&rsquo; OK?

Oh. Well, the story obviously has a different ending, but you should check out the NPR interview for that.&nbsp;
I&rsquo;m going to guess that, unless Arizona figured out a way to use Thomas Edison&rsquo;s machine to speak to the dead, that no conversation like this happened.
The drink is supposed to begin rolling out in New York shortly with a country-wide expansion following. If you&rsquo;ve always wanted to honor DiMaggio&rsquo;s memory with a drink, but didn&rsquo;t know how, I guess this is your ticket.&nbsp;
