Starbucks to Introduce Via Instant Coffee
If you thought Starbucks was uncouth to venture into the world of value meals, then wait until you hear its next supposed move. Ad Age is reporting that the struggling java chain is making plans to test soluble coffee in its stores.
Although Starbucks declined to comment on the launch, sources are saying plans to introduce the soluble coffee, to be called Via, will be announced next week.
Flashback: Weird Folgers Commercial
If a great commercial could be considered a work of art, then the following Folgers ad from a couple years ago is a masterpiece. This ad depicts exhausted people in a land of gray who wake up to the sight and sound of singing freaks in yellow spandex.

Flashback: Effed Up '50s Folgers Ad

Dish! What Would You Say to Harvey If You Could?
Harvey here is lucky I don't have a time machine that can catapult me forty years backwards in time to hit him upside his douchebag head.

What would you say to Harvey if you could?
Flashback: Housewives & Folgers Coffee
Instant coffee that "tastes as good as fresh-perked"? I'm not buying it. Just as I'm not buying the fact that housewives of the 1950s really sat around worrying about ways to improve the taste of their husband's coffee.
Best Commercial of 2006?
Or perhaps the most deranged? In this Folgers commercial, exhausted people in a land of gray wake up to the sight and sound of singing freaks in yellow spandex. Look, we knew caffeine was a drug--but is Folgers now spiking their coffee with ecstasy and acid, too?
