Thanks for letting me know what brands to avoid
If you weren’t avoiding Folgers already, you were fuckin up, bud
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.
The coffee is *ok.*
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.
The Expanse always deserves Lemmy Gold.
The Expanse
A movie I should watch?
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.
Janeway would only commit a small massacre for Folger’s.
folgers coffee is at least actually coffee, and mostly tastes like coffee.
Beg to differ. It tastes burnt. Otherwise it has no flavor.
It’s not bad, it doesn’t smell of cigarettes like Starbucks does.
Wait is this weird satire or what?
Folders is absolutely not passable as a cup of coffee. Do you know what actual coffee tastes like?
I will never, except in the case of receiving sums of money, drink folgers. Dealing with caffeine withdrawls are better than a cup of that burnt garbage.
My military grandpa refuse to drunk real coffee and only drink folgers because anything else “doesn’t taste right”
“Medicinal caffeine”
Not exactly.

Did these brands actually endorse Trump, or did he just yank them off the pantry shelf for a photo op?
He was using them as props for how inflation has raised prices of consumer goods.
He brings up inflation for a fraction of his speech, then mostly talks about immigrants, complains about non-issues with the Democratic party, lies about electric trucks, and complains about wind turbines killing birds.
Edit: he also said he wanted to take the Cheerios home after the speech since he hadn’t eaten them for years.
There’s no way he didn’t take money from those brands
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.
4 seasons landscaping vibe.
Bean and cheap steaks energy
It’s insane that these aren’t AI generated.
You can tell by the correctly tiny hands
I started to believe that everything is AI generated. Makes it somewhat easier
I don’t… is that his dinner?
He’s about to do a prop comedy routine
I didn’t see any giant hammers. So I can only assume he’s going to shove them up his ass.
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.)
“I’d also like to express my fondness for that, uh, particular beer.”
How about a federal ban on all price gouging?
Let’s not get crazy, now.
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.
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.
Serious business by top men.
We’re getting closer to the reality where politicians wear the logos of their sponsors on their uniform; just like Nascar drivers.
They would never allow that. Could you imagine the power of a clean suit in such a world?
What the fuck.
He looked so youthful and vibrant back then.
Then the world just ate him up…
And like most shitty meals, regretted long after.
Complete disgrace to the presidency, the country, the people, and democracy
Wouldn’t be the first time.
Why is American coffee in plastic containers?
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.
