I’m the one who posted that video on YouTube! I know it gets lots of views, but this is the first time I’ve ever run across it on another website!

Do you remember why?
I heard it all the he time as a child, and would go to the one near Radio City Music Hall while waiting in line e. I didn’t realize it was local.

I’d say there’s a few reasons. The first is that for a long time I wanted to be a copywriter and have long had an interest in jingles and slogans (and yes, I both saw and posted in the thread on that.) Another reason is that Chock Full O’Nuts was the coffee my family drank and the last reason is that I have this CD of commercials which gave me easy access to a somewhat HD recording of it.

I buy a can every year when I go camping for a week. Love the stuff. Prolly my favorite drip. Never been able to find the nuts, though.

They’re in the cream cheese on nut bread sandwich.

Hey, you stole my grandpa’s joke! 
He’s been gone a while so it’s good know someone else has a sense of humor like his.
I think they cut the nuts.

The only canned coffe I’ve purchased in the Anthropocene is a Starbucks product that Costco once sold. It was packaged in small cans, enough for a 10-cup pot of auto drip. I bought it to tide us over when we run out of whole bean. It was pretty good. Sadly, now d/c’d.
My parents loved the Yuban instant.
I think Dunkin’ also does supermarket ground.
If you have any of the “Big 4”, screen some for fines and report back?
Tchibo! I haven’t seen that since I lived in Poland.

It’s also sold at the Polish stores around here.
The Polish stores also carry some nice ground coffees and whole bean coffees from Poland, Austria and Germany.
I bought this jar at my indie grocery store that has nice stuff!
Remark Fresh Market in London, Ontario.

We’re big Peet’s fans and have been for 40+ years. We are very happy that we can buy it in the grocery stores now.

An experiment & taste test.
I ran out of ground coffee on Monday:scream: Did have my usual 2 cups but there wasn’t a grain left in the canister. We’ve been doing Walmart home delivery for staple stuff & it works well mostly. Saw I could have it same day & placed the order.
Ordered Eight O’clock Ground. A 2lb! bag was on sale for $14. One hour before order due to arrive I get a text it’s not available but they’ll ship it for free to arrive on Wednesday 
. I said OK.
Tuesday Morning-- sitting in the cupboard is over a lb of Amazon Colombian whole bean…but It had a “Best by Date 3/23” & I’d bought them over 1 year previous. (Why hadn’t I used it up? Moved apts, grinder buried plus it was gross so ordered a new one. ) Well, desperation is the mother of necessity as they say so fired up the new coffee grinder. It was OK! 
Wednesday morning made a cup of the 'Zon. An bout later was going for 2nd but checked shipment & saw FedEx snuck in at 10 
(they typically show up at 2PM.)
Made a cup of the 8. It and the 'Zon were just about the same…

Stale whole beans vs. ground Eight O’Clock coffee…yeah, I’d say they’d taste about the same.

Still home roasting, so I have no idea what supermarket coffee taste like but when traveling, hotel coffee will do.
While cleaning out the house for our up coming house closing, I found my AeroPress that I use to travel with. In room coffee back then wasn’t so good. Now it’s all in room pod machines
As part of my exploration of grind size distribution, I recently bought a 1-pound can of drip-grind MJB. Not only was it a much more consistent distribution (far fewer boulders and fines), but it was also drinkable.
I keep some of the now-discontinued Starbucks ground, single-pot cans just in case I inadvertently run out of whole beans. It’s actually quite good.
