      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.

            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.

        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?
