Odd juxtapositions

[Jonathan Lighter]

Curious, Larry, but it got your attention. Now that you've noticed the ad, and even remember the brand name, you have an overpowering thirst for Invite tea. No other tea will do. You are in their thrall. You must drink. Don't fight it.

In a current radio commercial for Invite Green Tea, the speaker says, at the end, "There's no risk, and it's kosher, too."
  Are listeners supposed to read something into that or is it simply a curious sequitur?
