KISS coffee spot in works for Myrtle Beach

Yesterday the Kiss Web site announced that 2,000 bags of KISS Army Blend Coffee were sent to the Rhode Island National Guard serving in Iraq: BLABBERMOUTH.NET - KISS Coffee Sent To Troops. Apparently a shipment of cold gin had a much higher likelihood of getting “lost in the mail”.
