it's incredible to me that there are still people who think folgers is what coffee is supposed to taste like

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I imagine folks are buying the cheapest socially-acceptable caffeine* they can buy. I’ve never visited some nice big house somewhere and seen Folgers on the counter.

*aight it’s not just that the even-cheaper pills are cause for glances askew, hot & brown tasting must be desirable even when it’s coming from the worst of the worst hot brown liquids

My wealthy boomer in laws buy Folgers when we go to the beach.

They ought to know better

That weird incest commercial they made makes a lot more sense now

I think it was College Humor that did an extended version of it.

spits non-folgers coffee out

I forgot about this commercial! I was so young when I saw it last I didn't think any of it, but that's fucked up

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Oh shit I completely forgot about this commercial.

Well I mean they profit from literal slave labor soooo

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have always used "Folgers" as a synonym for absolutely shitty undrinkable coffee. So this makes sense honestly.

[–] Albbi 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That and Edwards coffee. Gah!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Haha somehow I could sense the Canadian-ness before clicking the notification. Does it also taste like burnt... Nothing?

[–] Albbi 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's burnt nothing, but also sharp. Haha, didn't realize I have a Canadian aura I send through the internet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Haha I think it was the name Edwards. Is that a Canadian brand of other products too? No idea why but I instantly thought it seemed Canadian.

Gevalia is better* for the same price. And while I'm sure Kraft has some skeletons in their closet, they seem like a less shitty company.

*Take my opinion with a grain of salt. I'm a neanderthal that doesn't know/care what "good" coffee is supposed to taste like.

Thanks for the recommendation, I just ordered their mocha coffee now!

I'm also a neanderthal that doesn't know what good coffee tastes like so I've been buying Folgers out of habit lol

Many many moons ago, I was in highschool and somehow got my hands on a Gevalia coffee catalog. They were offering a free coffee maker with a subscription of coffee. The first coffee shipment of the subscription was free (along with the coffee maker), you just had to pay shipping. And you could cancel any time. So I ordered the subscription, got my two bags of coffee and a coffee maker for about $10 in shipping charges, then immediately canceled.

I don't remember much about the coffee, but that dang coffee maker followed me through high school, college, and a good decade beyond that. It wasn't particularly great, just a regular drip coffee maker, but it lasted forever. I'll never forget that thing.

So avoid JM Smuckers brands. Got it.

I'm in the UK but I gather that Folgers is awful

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Folgers is like if you took day old drip coffee from a Spar

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I love that you went and gave me an extremely vivid local frame of reference lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

source: am an american who has worked in convenience stores who also lived in the UK 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Hope you had a lovely time on this odd little island

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Shitty coffee, shitty endorsement... Happy to continue not buying their shit but now I'm going to actively discourage others

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Given how fucking shitty that brand is in terms of quality, they must not contribute very much.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

They're peddling two amazingly inferior products: a can full of burnt coffee smelling shit and a can of Xtian feces smelling shit. That makes them consistent. And vile.

Nooo my cranberry juice.

I mean there are other cranberry juices, but they don't have recyclable packaging.

Hey, hey, hey! Don't worry, you're reading that wrong!
Ocean Spray is under the header "Other Brands" and there's a blue donkey by its' side, meaning they contribute mostly to Democrats.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Folgers is the only brand of coffee that will consistently give me a pounding migraine and the Hershey squirts at the same time 🤢 hard pass.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Califia farms... Time to move on, hipster friends.

The reason why I made this community on Lemmy.ca is to reduce conflict of interest and for the fact these products are sold in our market.
