Subject: Stepford Wives in Aisle Two
A group of vacuous women flock to aisle two in search of "husband-pleasing" instant coffee. Mr. MacGregor sure has the lowdown on these women's husbands. Well, the world of Mr. MacGregor is long gone. He was laid off and a now high school kid is doing his job for a third his salary. The housewives all had to go back to work at low-wage jobs to support their families. And if their husbands are so fussy about their coffee, let them rummage through the supermarket aisles and find it themselves.

Thankfully, a slight change from the "Honey I hate you because your coffee tastes like ground swill" ads, It focuses entirely on Mr Mcgregor's announcement in his store about a new coffee. The females just RUN to him and complain that he's ALWAYS reccomended Folger's crystals! "Yes! But this is NEW Folger's Crystals!" Not improved, just "new" This struck me as odd, Wouldn't they put something on the label? Still love the smoking display though.
