I consider regular Folgers floor sweepings, much less instant folgers I won't dignify it by calling Folgers coffee.

without replacing anything, scratching their head trying to understand what the fuck was up with those fifty-some-odd varieties of tea

there's about a 50/50 chance it would have been Folger's anyway...we usually get that or Maxwell House - whatever's on sale.


I drink it black, no sugar from a quart-sized plastic cup as fast as I can chug it so as long as it isn't de-caf, I'm not likely to complain.


I was once down in Miami for a couple days of work installing a phone system in a new branch and the only thing close to the job-site was a Publix in a 99% hispanic neighborhood. They had a big set-up in the front of the store selling these tiny little cups of Cuban coffee and since I didn't know any better, I ordered 3 of 'em black. (They were so small - I couldn't grasp that the volume in those tiny cups was gonna do me any good). The ladies behind the counter spent a good 5 minutes laughing at me for ordering no cream or sugar and they even went to get a manager who spoke better english to make sure they were hearing me right. He tried to explain this wasn't what I was used to but by now I had to be coffee-counter tough guy and just drink what I ordered.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING!

After I recovered from the first shot, I shook the manager's hand, shot the other two and ordered 2 more to go. I was wired up through supper time. Every once in a while I get a huge craving for a shot of that coffee but Miami is a long drive from here.

by making them drink a gallon of Folger's Dishwater & Battery Acid Coffee every morning. That stuff is just fucking vile.

Depends on if this act of terrorism happened in a Stand Your Grounds state.
