I'm taking the Folgers challenge.
Sep. 6th, 2004 10:45 amI challenge Folgers to make coffee that doesn't taste like hot dog water.
So, hey, non-Seattleites: we have our coffee. We have it available where ever we go. The thing about there being an espresso stand on every corner? It's not much of an exaggeration - there are 52 different Starbucks locations within two miles of where I'm sitting right now (I looked it up on their website). Starbucks is the McDonalds of coffee - over 654 Gazillion served gallons of burnt tasting muck, but you can get that muck anywhere, and it tastes the same everywhere - that's the magic of franchises. Luckily, here we have lots of other options besides McCoffee, but I know other places are sorely lacking. Or people just don't give a shit about it.
Anyway, here's my question: Is there something that's just ripe to be commodified and exploited in your neck of the woods? Or something that already has?
