Coffee is the most consumed drink in the world (hard to believe, I know). Want to know how the most popular beverage ever was discovered? Wait for it… by goats! Yes, you read that right. According to historians, a herder discovered a certain bean that was making his goats go crazy. The bean was later named coffee.
