These frothers are commonplace in Greek coffeeshops due to their usage during the preparation of frappé coffee.

Instant coffee in a glass jar Instant coffee is available in powder or granulated form contained in glass and plastic jars, sachets, or tins. The user controls the strength of the resulting product by adding less or more powder to the water, ranging from thin "coffee water" to very strong and concentrated syrupy coffee.

A frappé can be made with a cocktail shaker or, more commonly today, with an electric milk frother or milkshake machine.

The drink is almost always served with a drinking straw, as the thick foam which forms on top is considered unpleasantly bitter by many.

Frappé du bel aspect graphique de ces lettres, je commençai, avec l'aide d'un des musulmans habitant la Médrésé, à gratter et creuser pour dégager quelques autres caractères. Après quelques minutes de travail, je vis apparaître un magnifique 1 de la belle époque classique, comme jamais il ne m'avait été donné d'en relever dans les inscriptions que j'avais découvertes jusqu'à ce jour à Jérusalem. Évidemment, j'avais affaire à un texte important par sa date, sinon par son contenu; je me remis à l'œuvre avec une ardeur facile à comprendre.

Frappé coffee Bougatsa, typical Thessalonian treat Because Thessaloniki remained under Ottoman rule for about 100 years more than southern Greece, it has retained a lot of its Eastern character, including its culinary tastes. Spices in particular play an important role in the cuisine of Thessaloniki, something which is not true to the same degree about Greece's southern regions. Thessaloniki's Ladadika borough is a particularly busy area in regards to Thessalonian cuisine, with most tavernas serving traditional meze and other such culinary delights. Bougatsa, a breakfast pastry, which can be either sweet or savory, is very popular throughout the city and has spread around other parts of Greece and the Balkans as well.

In Italy, the Nestlé company introduced Frappé coffee under its Nescafé Red Cup line, with the name Red Cup Iced Coffee. Many Italian coffee bars serve "caffè freddo", which is straight espresso kept in a freezer and served as icy slush. In the Salento region of Apulia, this was perfected by brewing the espresso freshly, adding the desired amount of sugar, and finally pouring it into a whiskey glass filled with ice cubes right before being served, known as Caffè in ghiaccio, or coffee in ice. Affogato (espresso poured over a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream) is also served, typically as a dessert. “Caffè shakerato” is also common in summer: bars serve it from double espresso, cane sugar, several ice cubes mixed in a shaker.

In his 1/4-star review, Rolling Stones Peter Travers wrote: "Arriving just in time to win a place among the year's worst films, Robin Hood robs you of two hours", while Glenn Kenny of The New York Times said that the film "strains to be relevant... Jamie Foxx must have lost a bet. The plot is twisty in a perfunctory way, the action predictably explosive, the sought- after exhilaration nonexistent." Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian summarized the film as a "beardless and bloated prequel (which) should be outlawed". Michael O'Sullivan, writing for The Washington Post, described the film as amounting to "a chilly and flavorless frappé of historical speculation, revisionist folklore and every lazy action-movie cliché ever written" and further characterized the dialogue and costumes as anachronistic.

The protests that led to the cancelling of this edition of the festival also brought some changes. On June 14, 1968, French filmmakers like François Truffaut and Louis Malle, among others, took the opportunity to found the Société des Réalisateurs de Films (SRF) whith the mission of "defending artistic, moral and professional and economic freedoms of cinematographic creation and participating in the development of new structures of the cinema". In the next year's edition of the festival, it started to organize a parallel selection to the official one called Directors' Fortnight. In the 2008 edition, forty years later, some of the works that could not be screened at the time were restored: Peppermint Frappé by Carlos Saura, 24 Hours in the Life of a Woman by Dominique Delouche, Anna Karenina by Alexandre Zarkhi and The Long Day's Dying by Peter Collinson.

From Voltaire, Histoire, page 225: "L'une de ces lames était un canif long de quatre pouces avec laquel il avait frappé le Roi à travers un manteau fort épais & tous ses habits, de façon que la blessure heureusement n'était guères plus considérable qu'un coup d'épingle." (One of these blades was a knife four inches long with which he struck the King through a very thick overcoat & all his clothes, in a way that the wound was fortunately scarcely more significant than a pinprick.) Nevertheless, Louis was bleeding and called for a confessor to be brought to him, as he feared he might die. When the Queen ran to Louis's side, he asked forgiveness for his numerous affairs. Damiens was arrested on the spot and taken away to be tortured to force him to divulge the identity of any accomplices or those who had sent him.
