Bossy had to give up caffeine several years ago due to a preexisting medical condition Bossy likes to call Heart Palpitations Brought On By Caffeine. Which is why it makes all kinds of sense that Bossy is reviewing a coffee energy drink she hasn’t tasted.
Enter the following taste-testers taste-tester:
You see, Bossy puts the gin in beginning, which is where Bossy should start: the nice folks at Whynatte contacted Bossy to see if she’d be interested in sampling their Whynatte Latte and Bossy said why not because Whynatte is a company that was founded in Santa Cruz by a couple of old friends with wicked hangovers and Bossy thought to herself, My kind of folk.
And so Bossy’s original plan was to give the Whynatte Latte samples to her friends and let them review the drink, except for one little problem:
You see, Bossy’s husband liked his case of Whynatte Latte so much he wasn’t willing to share. And about his official review, Bossy’s husband wants you to know he doesn’t typically like pre-sweetened drinks, especially those within thirty yards of his coffee — although that’s when he added something about liking You-Hoo when he was a kid, which is when Bossy sort of tuned her husband out because: twenty year marriage.
In fact, when pressed to describe the drink, Bossy’s husband most often compared it to a great glass of chocolate milk except in a can and with coffee and energy in it. And speaking of the ingredients, Bossy’s husband checked the Whynatte Latte against a typical can of soda and the Wynatte Latte has less of the bad stuff, except when Bossy’s husband detailed the evidence he included lots of numbers with numbers in it.
Then this past weekend Bossy’s gay him and Bossy’s gay him were in town, where town equals the square footage between Bossy’s wine bottle and their two wine glasses — and so on Sunday morning when the house was fresh with hangovers, Bossy pried two cans of the latte out of her husband’s clutches and fed them to her gays:
And so in honor of Monday morning, Bossy and her nice friends at Whynatte would like to give one sleepy Bossy reader a free case of their Whynatte Latte. Just leave a comment below, one per person please, and Bossy will employ her Random Number Generator to select a winner.
Good luck and thanks for playing along!
I loved Yoo-Hoo when I was younger too! Hmmmm, just might have to see if it’s still as good as it was back then.
Because Sandy can use all the energy she can get for this week!
Holy Crap! YooHoo with extra caffeine! Sign me up.
I sure could use some energy this Monday morning!
I’m in!
I need ENERGY!!
Pick me, pick me.
Bossy doesn’t drink anything with caffeine? How the heck did she manage to raise 2 kids without caffeine?!
I could really use this though!
I need it, more!
I think one of those might finally wake me up!
Bossy, I have 3 kids, 3 dogs, 2 cats, 3 frogs, a husband (all crammed into 900 square feet!), a full time job and an in-law with dementia!!!
Someone help me!!!!!
Um, yes please!!
I like chocolate and coffee…mmmmmm
I’ll take the case
Of course I’ll enter, why natte? I’m a contest whore.
Oh Geez… I think Kimmer really needs this
Forget the energy drink — look at that lovely, loving photo of you and your husband. And it’s been 20 years? You’re so lucky. (Well, and so is he, of course.)
Sounds like the perfect thing for that first big paper …
Sounds yummy!
My love LOVES these tasty cans of liquid crack.
Me please!
Darn it. Where were you Sunday morning when I was nursing the Jose Cuervo hangover?
I dont’ wanna win, though.
Oh yeah, latte w/kick – now we’re talking.
because potty training a 2 year old takes lots and lots of energy! oh pick me, pick me!
De-lurking for this one! Yum, that sounds wonderful. By the way LUV your site.
Count me in, I’d love to win this!
perfect for boredom at swim meets
I myself, not a coffee fan…but I too have a problem. My problem would be much worse if he found out someone was giving away coffee and I didn’t throw his name in the hat.
With endorsements like those, who doesn’t want some? Count me in. Come on Random Number Generator!
Hellza yes! Does it come with a giant Great Dane? Even if it doesn’t (sigh) count me in!
I could ALWAYS use some extra caffeine!
I have a two-year-old at home and am currently investigating the possibilities of mainlining Mountain Dew. Yes, please.
these sound yummy!
Just what I need,,,,,,a case of caffine
Need caffeine, but am trying to give up soda. But my once a week or so 90 minute boring commute threatens this decision. I’m afraid I will fall asleep and leave my children mother-less. Love coffee, but can’t get into it on the way home on a 90 degree day. I say “Why Natte?” on your contest! Worth a shot!
Is it Monday morning? uh oh
Random Number Generator – I hold many a bitterness toward you. BUT! I will give you a chance to make it up to me. You’re welcome.
Wahoooo! I need more caffeine and would love to spread the word about whynatte “down south”!
I need.
Sounds delish. Sign me up please
Bossy! How did you know that I love coffee? Especially sweet, energetic coffee!
Mmmmm…tasty tasty energy!
I’m breaking my very strict rule about NO ENTERING CONTESTS EVER to enter this one because this stuff sounds like my new best friend.
Yum! And you and hubby are adorable!
Those sound yummy! Plus, I start nursing school in two weeks. Between that and two young kids, I need all the help I can get!
I would love to win a case of whynatte! Where can we buy it should I not score?
PS – you and your husband are ADORABLE – almost as adorable as your gays. Not trying to suck up or anything to win – unless that helps!
Sweet! Energy in a can? That tastes like Yoo-Hoo? Oh yeah, I could use some of that!!
But the question is… is it WhyNATTE rhymes with LATTE. or WhyNATTE like why NOT?
I just hop that when I win this the delivery person will bring it inside and put it in my fridge because I lack the energy to do so until I get some caffeine in me.
If it makes hungover gay people that happy, it must be good stuff.
I just want to say “GO 50!” to the random number generator. Shit, this is like a second entry. Totally cheating.
Yay for Monday morning!
Here, here! Just the ticket for our hot and humid grossness.
Bossy( and her council): do you remember a sweetened coffee syrup that was, I believe, imported from somewhere in Great Britain? My mom put it in our milk in the summer as a treat in the 60’s. I found it briefly about 20 years in an import shop and then it disappeared for good. Does anyone know the brand name? Going senile, p.j.
because Starbucks has way too much in the way of calories but I still get sleepy
Just like Bossy. Those coffee energy drinks have too much caffiene for me. Husband would love them though.
That looks like something I’d love!
Me, me, me! I need energy. Pleeeeeeeeeease! This dissertation isn’t gonna write itself, ya know!
Mmmm… chocolate & coffee. AND added energy? Sign me up!
@p.j. – I ordered some coffee syrup from this site, after reading about coffee milk:
http://shoprhodeisland.stores.yahoo.net/autcofsyr.html
We have a teeny tiny apartment-sized and I usually don’t have any room in my packed freezer for ICE CUBES! Can you imagine? So I would love some Whynatte Latte for my iced coffee addiction in small convenient cans. And I live in Marin — less shipping from Santa Cruz!
Sleepy In Minnesota would like to try Whynatte!
That sounds very yummy!!
I can’t do the gay thing — but I promise I can deliver on the hangover for a case….
YooHoo Latte? Yummylicious.
Not that it matters but when I read about your heart palpitations I got heart palpitations.
I would absolutely bequeath at least half of my winnings to Kimmer, even though I’m greedy and needy.
Yes, please!
This coffee junkie says, Sign Me UP!
Nice!
I can’t do caffeine either…..it keeps me up for dayzzzzzzzzz! I do decaf. But my S.O. loves caffeine and I love him!
I rarely win anything….but whynatte give it a shot anyway?
Loves me some Whynatte! Especially with a little Van Gogh Espresso vodka!
as if it’s fair that we don’t have access to whynatte in toronto. i want it. bad.
i agree….kimmer needs more than all of us!
Whynatte have a latte? Sign me up!
Whynatte… is… awesome… Pick me and I will give you a kiss on the pinky toe.
Oh my this mother of a 1 year old desperately needs this whynatte latte drink you speak of… please sweet Random Number Generator…pick Bri.
Although I am no where near as cute as Bossy’s Gays, I would love me some of that stuff.
Chocolate milk with coffee and energy? Well hell yeah!
These comments are sorely lacking in references to how cute VUBOQ and I look.
Hurrumph!
my girlfriend and i begged and pleaded till we finally got one of these Whynattes sent to Canada. We loved em so much we’re contemplating moving down south!
Could use a latte that whynatte right about now. Or ever. Fun contest Bossy – looks like you had a great weekend.
OH MY GAH chocolate milk with the goodness of coffee and caffeine. Please oh please random number generator pick me.
@David. I totes agree.
More cute David and VUBOQ comments pleez. My Monday needs an Ego Boost (and a caffeinated energy boost).
As one of the VERY FEW Canadians that have had one of these delicious drinks, I can tell you they are better than anything Starbucks can put out! I want more!
This is the best drink to have a parties, becuase after you drink the night away mixing Whynatte with Jager, Vodka, Vanilla Vodka, Coffee Vodka, and so many other drinks, you can wake up and drink it to get rid of your hangover. Plus, I hate hot coffee in the summer. I hope I’m number 84…..
Coffee with chocolate? What could be better?
Lucky number 86–pick me!
oooh – this sounds like something I could get into! I am a big fan of anything that will help me wake up in the morning. (and if it will help the morning after wine-binges, even better!)
ok, so I need to be even more wired that I already am – NOT!
but we can give this a try!
PS – neat pix of you and hubbo…”yoo-hoo” (snicker)
I’m sure this post was great and all, but all I got out of it was:
Blah blah How cute are Vuboq’s glasses?!
The end
I could use some energy!
Sign me up!
Lord knows these would be put to good use in my house. Count me in!
Thanks, Bossy!
sounds yummy!
Yes, please.
Ohh, I need this!
Yum! The ingredient list sounds good…
word
Well if your old man AND your gays love it, sign me up! I wonder if they have this stuff in Texas?!
I love caffeine. Caffeiney, caffeine, caffeine. Here it goes down, down into my belly…
Forget curing a hangover- Whynatte + Goldschlager is a great way to create a hangover.
So, so sleepy – send beverage please….hurry!
mmmm…caffeine and energy. Count me in!
Whynatte sound great and good for what ails you…which in my case is a wine hangover..ouch!
OK Bossy, the random number generator devil machine thing sounds like total BS-like people walking on the moon and free Friday concerts and stuff. But if it makes you feel better, we’ll all pretend to believe in it. So now that you’re busted, can I please, please win?
OK – I call these energy drinks “mothers milk”……seriously. I am a redbull addict. Sorry but true. Love the stuff. When you have a rascal 9 mth old and you compete in dressage and you have to run the house and you have a hubby that works crazy hours…….redbull is my little friend……
Whytnatte? Count me in!
I am so tired from the weekend, I need an energy boost!!
I seriously need some of th…..zzzzzzzzzzzz
Gah, it’s 12:30 and I’m not awake yet! Thanks Bossy
I neeeeeed this Bossy. I don’t have a hangover but it’s slow going this Monday morn.
Ooh! Meeee! Meee! Pick me, RNG, and I will lurve you forever.
FOREVER.
I so need this…I work in a room with NO WINDOWS. I am deprived of sunlight for 8 hours a day. I NEED THIS.
What the hey, I love that it gets the DH and the Gays OK! What’s not to love about that?
Latte me! Sounds good, hoping to be picked.
I’m all about chocolate milk with caffeine in it. I’m all about chocolate milk and all about caffeine.
Whynatte is the best!
Need a job hunting butt kickin energy boost. Give to the needy bums!
Please with a whole latte love!
I need that.
NEED!
That is all.
I need this, because I now have a job after eight months of fruitless searching and sleeping in, and I will have to get up at a reasonable hour of the morning soon.
Why ask whynatte?
Why can’t I can’t get enough WHYNATTE??…. Because my husband is drinking it all day…
Chocolate! Caffeine! Fiber…wait. Fiber? Yessss fiber! The perfect beverage. Pick me, RNG!
Caffeine is never wasted on a college student.
WHYNATTE enter?
lemme get it
I’ve got a road trip ahead, and a case of caffeine would be awesome!
water:plant::whynatte:me

I need it like I need a hole in my head, but WHYNATTE??
Yo, Bossy, sign me up gorgeous!
I wish I had some of this RIGHT NOW.
Whynatte is da bomb! And I ran out of my stash…so pick me : )
Love coffee. Love free. Love iced beverages in the summer. Pick me.
Um, I like sweetened (but not cloying) coffee drinks… but I love caffeine – because, I don’t sleep at night. Is there a connection? Nah.
Sounds delish! And 100 calories? Sign me up, Bossy!
P.S. – you and hubby are adorable!
I fear no heart palpitations. I laugh in the face of danger. Like this: HA! HA! HA! Now, send me caffeine. (Please, Random Generator.) (Thanks.)
Vuboq and David looking pretty damned perky considering they both have hangovers. Must be the … um what’s it called? The non-alcoholic drink stuff.
Had our annual girls trip this past weekend. Kinda sorta forgot/drank the case of Whynattes I was supposed to bring. The invitation for next year is really hanging in the balance here…..help…..
I STILL love Yoo-Hoo – and i’m thirty-something-or-other… I have recently been converted over to the coffee-drinking world – Bossy, please help to expand my horizons! Gracias!
Again with the no caffeine here, but husband would love it!
Yum, yum ,yum,
coffee with extra caffeine sounds like all sorts of right.
Yes please, Bossy! Love me some coffee in a can! (Fingers and toes crossed!!!)
Coffee. So need some right now.
A contest for a free case of latte energy drink? Whynatte?
Free? Coffee? Energy? Sign me up.
It’s 102 degrees here and I am both sleepy and MELTING! Would love a case of Whynattes right now!
Because this drink also has 4 Grams of PROTEIN which to a 5 month post op gastric bypass person 4 grams of Protein is WHOO HOOO!
Lucky number 148, pick me!
Coffee and energy?? Somebody’s gonna be a real kick in the pants at work!!
I thrive on caffine!! I would love to try this product.
Massachusetts thrives on Whynatte. We need a new Tea Party and Whynatte is it!!!

Thanks Bossy…I really could use a pick me upper!
Pick me! Pick me!!
Just found your WONDERFUL site and am really enjoying it. I love contests!
Me too!
An energy drink that tastes like chocolate milk? Sold!
I would SO LOVE to try this!!
The opinions of Bossy’s husband and her very lovely gays have convinced me that I’d very much like to try Wynatte’s latte.
I think I will enter this contest before I take my second nap of the day. YAWN
I love the name!!!!!!
I love coffee. Gimmie gimmie gimme.
I tried Whynatte, I liked Whynatte.
I had more Whynatte, I loved Whynatte.
I am now a Whynatte junkie. I like it plain and I love trying new booze concoctions with it. I haven’t found anything that doesn’t go with it. Yum!
Since I haven’t reached the heart palpitations stage yet, and when I say YET, I mean it could come tomorrow, at the rate I’m consuming coffee today…so I say, “What the heck! Bring it on! (Zzzzz. snort. huh?)
When the alarm went off at 4:30 this morning, I really could have used some of this…sounds great!
Oooh I want to taste! How was the Blueberry infused gin I’ve been blog reading about?
…Oh Whynatte – count me in! ;o)
…Blessin’s…
David and VUBOQ are just so incredibly cute! (Hey guys…can you rig the Random Number Generator in my favor? Thanks!)
I need something to help with this new job I hope I am picked
I’ll give it a shot. Where can you buy them?
Looks terrific! Count me in!
such a clever name, whynatte.
Oooohh.. pick me! Pick me! I love coff-eee!!
I need a B-12 boost right about now.
Why Natte? It looks prety darned tasty-especially in July when its too hot for HEATED coffee!
so delicious.
Am whore for all things coffee. Therefore: hat in ring. Coffee!!!!
because I love caffeine and ice and coffee and any combination thereof.
Yay!
I need it… I want it… I need it…wait I said that.
dear bossy. you know I love you best. now reward me with some syrupy caffeine goodness in a can. please.
I should win, see, because I live just over the hill from Santa Cruz so I could save them the shipping cost by just driving over to pick the case up, and I would even take them flowers from my garden by way of appreciation, and then, (oh my yes!) I would have the perfect excuse to stop at Marianne’s for a locally-favorite ice cream fix. Indisputable logic, yes?
I don’t know if I like energy drinks but would like to try!!!
I just had a filling put in today, and now my mouth is tired! Coffee in a can would surely help!
Ho, wait…what “Santa Cruz” are we talking about here, anyway? Looks like (yes, OK, I *did* read their website — marketing folks at Whylatte, you got your money’s worth out of this Bossy promo
it’s a Southeast-based product, not Nor. Cal. I don’t think I can drive from here to Atlanta. Well, wait a minute…if Bossy could do it a couple of years ago…what the heck. SURE I’ll come pick it up if I win the thing 
I love lattes, so I think a pre-made latte in a can is from heaven.
Please pick me. Please pick me.
i could so use this in the morning!
count me in!
Me please… I can’t usually drink these things because of all the sugar but this one is under the amount of sugar I can have!!!
Yoo Hoo was my beverage of choice as a child….now more like lots of wine…
Yes, please!
All that yumminess and only 100 calories! Sign me up!
Hangover help? Hook me up!
It’s a toss up between the latte and the dane.
I need this in my life!
Nobody in the world loves coffee as much as I do. Nobody.
First day back to work after a week of vacation. I need this drink!!!
Sounds yummy – and Santa Cruz rocks!
Why not a whynatte?? it’s the best thing ever
Hooray for coffee!!

Well, okay!

Whynatte?
Looks yummy! And your gays definitely nead an endorsement deal
