Brent Blend

Sweet, sweet oil.

Literally.

Brent is one of several types of crude oil that is used as a benchmark for commodity traders. It's considered “sweet” because it contains less than 0.42% sulfur (it comes from the North Sea, while the other widely used benchmark is West Texas Intermediate).

One summer, following a vacation in Norway, Ellie Mae returned home with news that she had met and gotten engaged to an oil magnate from Trondheim. While she expected her grandfather, an oilman in his own right, to be pleased, Ol’ Jeb scoffed at her announcement, remarking “That Brent Blend stuff isn’t ‘real oil’ like we have here in Texas!”
