Some blog readers have given me good suggestions (especially Kirby Larson, who told me to switch to beer).
One person got me to this message board where I see I am not alone in my outrage. I wrote a few scathing letters. I'm sure that will do the trick.
But in the meantime, I took another suggestion and hit the local Job Lot.

They had Extra Caffeinated Santa's Breakfast Buzz:

They had Fudge Brownie Coffee:

They had Nutt'n But Kisses Valentine Coffee Collection:

And they had Sumatran Vanilla Latte:

But, alas, no Cafe Francais with a blue label.
So I went to a few grocery stores.
Nope, only the NEW AND IMPROVED:

They had Pampa Instant Coffee:
I wish I'd know about Extra Caffeinated Santa's Breakfast Buzz when my kids were small.
ReplyDeleteDarn! Sorry I no help! I read Amazon and people are REALLY outraged. :) That may be an exaggeration but...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe security wasn't called in the stores with you taking all these pictures!!!

You have me LAUGHING out loud at your photos and outrage...well placed outrage of course. I hope you don't mind, but I included the picture of you with your beloved International coffee on my Looking for Newbery post for January 12.
ReplyDeleteBill, of course I don't mind!
ReplyDeleteI'd say you've got a coffee conundrum!
ReplyDeleteJust think of all the material you are accumulating for your next book(s)!!
ReplyDeleteI see the product I'm looking for but can't find a store or company who sell it. It's the Mazel original coffee sticks. Oh where can I find it. I'm getting desperate.
