The year was 1990. The place was the Pacific Northwest. The coffee was hot, the pie plentiful... as were the life lessons.

Every fan of "Twin Peaks" will tell you that the short-lived series offered as much truth as it did mystery. Sure, we tuned in to find out who killed Laura Palmer, but we walked away knowing that you have to be careful where you get your coffee.
