Hey. Folgers is fine.. From a purely consumerist, apolitical standpoint anyway. The coffee is ok.

Is it great? No. It's not gonna win any contests on flavor. But it's perfectly alright.

Listen all I'm saying is that if Jim Holden could carry nine novels and 5 seasons of a TV show drinking something called coffee that contained no actual coffee and still love it, we can all quietly admit that folgers coffee is at least actually coffee, and mostly tastes like coffee. It's not bad, it doesn't smell of cigarettes like Starbucks does. It's just, ok.

Could you get much better coffee for a little bit more? Absolutely, and you should. But if someone offers you a cup and they pull out the Folgers tub you ain't gonna turn that shit down. You're gonna brace yourself for a perfectly passable cup of coffee. Then you'll go home because you gotta poop. Because while it doesn't taste of a crisp summer night atop the Columbian Andes, it does taste exactly like ok coffee.

Book series. Was adapted by SyFy and Amazon into a TV series. Highly recommend.

EDIT: Apple TV+'s "For All Mankind" is considered by many to be the prequel to the book series.

Beg to differ. It tastes burnt. Otherwise it has no flavor.

Wait is this weird satire or what?

Did these brands actually endorse Trump, or did he just yank them off the pantry shelf for a photo op?

There are competing brands there. And by 2024, I have a feeling most brands that aren't being run by ideologues know there's way more risk being associated with Trump then not.

From https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/15/business/economy/kamala-harris-inflation-price-gouging.html

Vice President Kamala Harris will highlight an argument that blames corporate price gouging for high grocery prices. That message polls well with swing voters...groups cheered the announcement late Wednesday that Ms. Harris will call for a federal ban on corporate price gouging on groceries in an economic policy speech on Friday.

Soooo...he's officially just plagiarizing her talking points now? Does he think he'll get points for having said it 24 hours before she did? (I'm sure he didn't blame corporate price gouging; probably immigrants if I had to guess.)

He must be extremely desperate for the ad revenue. Money a much bigger problem for him than we're aware?

Dude, he advertised beans from the oval office. He just has zero standards, and gets a kick from making a mockery of our institutions.

2

He should have been removed from office when he did a bean commercial from the Oval office. Now he's just running infomercials as part of his campaigning? Disqualify his ass! Better yet, arrest him for any of the thousands of felonies he has committed. FFS. Its like I live in bizarro world run by a clown college.

They would never allow that. Could you imagine the power of a clean suit in such a world?

Then the world just ate him up...

And like most shitty meals, regretted long after.

Those two brands are, but most coffee is sold in vacuum sealed bags like the rest of the world.

Folgers and Maxwell House are pre-ground. The containers do a better job of keeping oxygen out. Pre-ground coffee goes bad quickly the more it’s exposed to oxygen.

There are some pre-ground Italian espresso brands that are famous for doing similar things.
