      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

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

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

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

            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.

        It depends on what you call coffee.

        A cup of coffee with cream and sugar? Cheap as hell. I’m not sure what a pound of beans costs in Sweden but it’s about 10 bucks here for a middle of the road bag, a little more if you want to be fancy.

        A “coffee” from Starbucks or similar which is in all actually a fancy milkshake flavored with a shot of espresso? Gets a little pricey. But I wouldn’t actually call that coffee.

      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.

      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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
