Folger’s Contributions

Shit coffee for shit people

🎶The best part of waking up, is taking a massive dump🎶

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

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

In case anyone was wondering
- I think it was College Humor that did an extended version of it.
- Oh shit I completely forgot about this commercial.
- 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

Well I mean they profit from literal slave labor soooo

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

That and Edwards coffee. Gah!
- Haha somehow I could sense the Canadian-ness before clicking the notification. Does it also taste like burnt... Nothing?

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.

Kraft is an improvement.
- True Neutral be 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

So avoid JM Smuckers brands. Got it.

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

Folgers is like if you took day old drip coffee from a Spar
- I love that you went and gave me an extremely vivid local frame of reference lol

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

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

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.

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.

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.

What app is this?

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.

- Neo-fascist Christian nationalism is on the rise everywhere, including Canada. Pierre Polievre has made wild populist promises about fixing everything but doesn't have a plan to do any of it. His platform is 100% grievance and, "I'm not Justin Trudeau." Canada deserves better.
