Folgers has discontinued it “Mardis – Gras coffee. I have always had to order from Walmart.com as it really at leat in my part of the country been in any stores – at one time Tops Grocery did carry it but not for long. I am devestated I myself porbably spend over $1,000 a year for it – “ITS THAT GOOD” Folgers advised me that it was not a big seller – well that is not what consumer comments state. You have to put it in stores for consumers to purchase. This is the best coffee I have ever had in my 68 years – Hoping if you put it out there consumers will call Folgers to bring it back – I call once a week
In the mid-to-late 1960s there was a lemon-lime canned soda call Simba. I recall its commercials–the African veldt, sweaty guys dressed in safari-like outfits riding around in jeeps. From a cooler they pull out sodas: “Simba. It conquers the African thirst.” Simba was the beverage of Lion Country Safari animal park. What became of Simba? Was it a national brand, or just a southern California thing?
I am not sure of this one. Will look it up!
I came across your “Days of Drake’s Cake Numbered?” while trying to verify where Drake’s Cakes were sold in the 1970s. In a best-selling Stephen King novella, a teen consumes 2 Ring Dings in suburban Los Angeles in 1974, but I didn’t think those cakes would have been sold there at that time. Knowing King’s attention to detail, I wondered whether the Drake’s treat was actually available in the LA suburbs at that time. Can you help?
I remember when Krusteaz used to make frozen blueberry pancakes. I LOVED those frozen blueberry pancakes! Now, sadly, I can’t seem to find them anywhere in my area (San Jose, CA). Did they stop making them? I’d sure love it if they would bring them back. Sunday mornings just haven’t been the same without them.
Hope you found somebody Trish…i would suggest starting with their Facebook page, and perhaps on Linked in. Corporate marketing departments are often hard to reach unless you know someone.
I have a marketing idea involving the Bands that I Manage, for Pop Tarts, but I can’t seem to find the correct person to direct it to. Can you help me with this?
Do you know how I can see label from the first spray starch (I’m told) called “Dapper”. The label may have had some clouds on it. Thanks!
I agree with you Linda! I find 1/2 loaves in the supermarkets now and again. Single people especially like the 1/2 loaves.
I really do wish bread companys would make half loaves of bread,me & my husband can’t use a whole loaf before it get’s stail, and i have to throw it away. thank you
