As I was waiting for my coffee to brew this morning I started thinking about some of the fun tv commercials that have been on tv over the years. It is amazing the various angles that have been taken by coffee companies. I used to love Mrs Olson always plugging for Folgers with that crazy accent. This was the inspiration for this week's Saturday Seven: Fun Coffee Commercials. Take a few moments to check these out, some may surprise you...#1 Great Retro Folgers Coffee. Luckily the wife has all day to worry about making a better cup of coffee
#2 Mrs Olson for Folgers. She sure is smart. I love how she points to the "mountain grown" label.
#3 Cora for Maxwell House. More husbands hurling insults about the wife's coffee
#4 Highpoint Coffee. The little wife calls her husband "rugged" hee hee
#5 Lauren Bacall for Highpoint. Lovehow she says "it's De-Caff-inated" Love how she goes "mmmmmm" after sipping her coffee- in her signature deep voice.
#6 Butter Nut Coffee. Check out the guy hanging upside down in the kitchen. Oh and the husband insults the wife's coffee here too!
#7 Wilkin's coffee. You'd never get away with this stuff today. One version has the muppet in the electric chair!

Bonus video: Sanka: featuring Lucy and Desi.
