Starbucks happened

Making coffee at home is considered low brow and poorfag.
It's what you do when you can't afford $4 coffee.

>tfw I'm a broke college student looking for a fix

People realized coffee can actually taste good. Same thing happened with beer; Bud literally had to change it's name to "America" as a way to get people to keep buying it.

I miss commercial jingles. Now we just get people yelling all the time.

Folgers was always low brow and poorfag to be fair

I blame dubstep, and black people culture in general.

I remember folgers commercial spoofs when SNL was funny

But folgers tastes better than Starbucks any day.

this should take you back to a simpler time

Um, no.

I'm going to have to agree with you on that, but it could just be nostalgia. My parents and grandparents drink Folgers and now I don't even have time to brew coffee at home, so when I can it reminds me of them.

That was Maxwell House.

they ran that one ad which was 200% incest. FCC banned them for life.

>I make mine at home.
Folgers is the shit brand for the blue collar class. Commercials no longer cater to the blue collar because the class is dying.i.e. If you can only afford Folgers, you probably can't afford to be watching your '90's TV set anymore because you have 3 jobs and don't have cable anyway. Commercials have never been for old people unless it's a new product specifically for them (viagra, cialis) because the old people are not going o change their brand.

>all that complex shit
just get a french press, fag

That's what I use.
>I dream of owning a la pavoni
Thinking about a ROK though.

They got acquired by Smuckers in 2008 and the parent doesn't feel like burning money advertising a downmarket commodity brand with no real prospects of accelerated growth.

if you really miss the fucking commercials they're all on youtube

After weeks of Spanish and French coffee, I wanted something that tasted like more than carbon, and the vegan place I like was closed that week, so I got a black drip from Starbucks in Paris. It was some of the best tasting coffee I've ever had. That's my only experience with Starbucks.

The only one I really remember is 'Happy Morning'. If all the Folgers commercials were that great, it'd be one thing, but it's not like the tragedy that losing Skittles commercials would be.

People are staring to realize that there are thousands of coffee options beyond supermarket brands that taste better.

This depends completely upon how bad the Starbucks "Baristas" want to run scorching hot water through their ground beans on a given day.

If they fuck it up, like they usually do, then yeah I'll take the instant coffee.

Trump will revive blue collar

So Trump will stop automation?

I'd fuck auntie dianne and make her cats watch

Pretty much this. Starbucks changed normie preference to overly sweetened espresso-based drinks, which Folgers does not do.

That's not say Folgers doesn't have its own loyal followers. But I think the characters in their old ads (like the Irish dancer one) are more likely to be having coffee from a paper cup with a certain green logo.

Folgers is kind of like coke desu for most people they step into the store buy a container of folgers then continue shopping.

DON'T DO IT JIMMY

their last big commercial was the incest one

Nah mate. Maxwell house was lower middle classfag

I think it is more like everyone goes to starbucks because they don't think there is enough time in the day to pour some water, shovel in two table spoons and hit a switch.

When really and truly they are just outright lazy or stupid.

I'm kinda glad their not on TV anymore. The folgers and hallmark card commercials would always make me cry like a bitch.

The only folgers I like anymore is their "black silk" brand. It doesn't taste as strong or satisfying as it used to. I use Community dark roast now. Brew it up in the Bunn erryday. I like it.
