Oversight

During the usual breakfast routine of Sportscenter and Cream-of-Wheat, I watched a commercial about the latest coffee creation from Dairy Queen, the MooLatte. It appears that DQ is trying to capture a market in the frozen coffee drink craze started by Starbucks. DQ's concoction is nearly identical to all the other frozen coffee drinks: coffee, milk, sugar, ice, whipped cream. But what really made the MooLatte stand out for me is that the name sounds awfully close to mulatto.

mulatto: the offspring of a black and a white parent whose skin tone is usually close to coffee colored.
