You know, next to OIL, Coffee is the 2nd most traded commodity in the world.

Most of the Coffee beans in South America came from 1 single bean stolen from Louis XVI's coffee plant on his estate. They were stolen by Gabriel de Clieu, a French naval officer, who then returned to Martinique and developed the seeds into a coffee plantation.
