I'm not really an idiot, but I play one on 'the internets'

4. Maybe because it's Instant coffee

as opposed to fresh ground. :shrug:

Sanka reminds me of my grandma. She drank it all the time. :-)

6. Because it's instant.

9. But so are Folgers crystals, why is sanka singled out here?

[Left Is Write]

12. Because it's the poster child for decaf coffee.

That's the claim to fame - it's instant AND it's decaf.

The name "Folgers Crystals" doesn't automatically bring to mind decaf. They have regular too, and that's what I think of - I think of those "hidden camera in a famous restaurant" commercials where they "secretly" replaced customers' coffee with Folgers Crystals.

Sanka was proud to be instant and decaf, and I guess that opens it up to ridicule.

All just my opinion, of course. I haven't polled the general public. :)

7. I think as far as instant decaf coffee goes, it's the Cadillac.
