I’m going to need some help here… Anybody?
Not content with launching a “Latin-inspired” line of products featuring a hot & steamy abuela and producing its own telenovela, Coffee Mate is back on its “hot steamy” theme, this time in the form of a short video featuring a Latina having way too much pleasure with her coffee.
Is this supposed to be a plug for the equally pathetic 50 Shades of Gray or what is this thing exactly?

Not content with bringing my people (the Hispanics) a line of Latin-inspired creamers, Nestle’s Coffee Mate tonight is premiering a telenovela: Crema con aroma de café, presumably because only a good, steamy drama will compel us to put chemically-processed stuff into our café sin leche.
Coffee Mate’s webnovela premieres tonight at 9PM EST/6 PM PST somewhere on Facebook.
This blogger might be busy doing other, equally important, things (i.e. looking for a date on Walter Mercado’s new dating site.) But, heck, don’t let me stop you.
Here’s a preview. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I kind of love the name of this thing, though. There, I said it.
Not to be outdone by the likes of Mattel and Oscar Mayer with their Latin-inspired dolls and Hispanic-targeted cold cuts, Nestlé’s Cofee Mate is launching a series of “Latin-inspired products” and promoting them on Twitter with a super inventive Latin handle: #LatinTouch.
Here’s one of Coffee Mate’s pitches on Twitter.
A new flavor so rich, you’ll feel amor at first sip. Find @Abuelita Mexican Chocolate http://t.co/oOt1QGbqTT pic.twitter.com/42glmFty8X

Coffee Mate’s Latin Touch thing includes Nestlé’s popular Mexican Chocolate Abuelita, featuring the great Sara García, who is having, posthumously, a second life as a “hot, steamy” Latina.
Because, aren’t we all?

Remember when Facebook was this fun place to hang out with friends and family?
Well, it looks like Mark Zuckerberg has succeeded in turning his social network into a fun place to hang out with friends, family…. and a bunch of multinationals.
Take Nestle’s Facebook Spanish-language page, which is encouraging Latino families to share their “Nestlé-related experiences” with over 34,000 fans… and everyone else for that matter.
I have no idea what Nestlé is offering these families, but it’d better damn good (a ton of money or a life-time supply of Nescafé, perhaps?) Otherwise, I could not conceive any other reason why I would dress up my kids in cardboard boxes of Maggie, DiGiornio and Carnation.
Is it just me?
