Simply by virtue of being a big superhero/comic book movie, WATCHMEN is susceptible to all kinds of merchandising. And as is often the case, some of that merchandise is decent, some of it is rubbish, and some of it is… just a little bizarre.
Submitted for your categorization: The Organic Coffee Cartel introduces “Nite Owl Dark Roast” Coffee, and a contest to win tickets to the movie’s premiere. WATCHMEN photographer Clay Enos has enlisted his Organic Coffee Cartel (OCC®) to produce a first-of-its-kind movie tie-in coffee for WATCHMEN, the upcoming film adaption of the celebrated graphic novel.
OCC has introduced Veidt Enterprise’s “Nite Owl Dark Roast,” a limited-edition confection and collectible designed for fans and organic coffee gourmands alike. And with just ONE run of cans produced, this is sure to be a distinctive and rare collectible. A portion of the proceeds from the special roast will be donated to charity.
OCC is sponsoring a contest for one lucky customer to win two tickets to the Los Angeles premiere and after-party for “Watchmen” on March 3rd, 2009. Orders must be placed before February 26th, 2009. Full contest rules here.
