Come on in and share a cup of coffee with me. Today is that long-awaited election day. Whatever the outcome, I’m glad I live in a country where I can vote as I like. Tomorrow I hope I have just as many friends as I do today.
So, let’s talk about coffee. Do you remember the Nescafe jingle, “Let’s have another cup of coffee; yes, let’s have a cup of Nescafe”? And, of course, the perking coffee pot for Maxwell House and then, “Maxwell House coffee, good to the last drop.” Sometimes, there’d be an added line: “And that drop’s good too.” And, “The best part of wakin’ up is Folgers in your cup.” Taster’s Choice had a unique commercial at one time, sort of like a soap opera, where a man and woman met and fell in love, all over a cup of Taster’s Choice. As I sit here, sipping coffee with you, I wonder why the powers that be abandoned these catchy and memorable ads. Too bad we can’t vote for our favorite commercials, isn’t it?
When it comes to voting, I’m sure your mind is made up. You are not in the least foggy about the people you intend to vote for. You have good, solid reasons for your choice and you are unswayed by public opinion because you’ve been digging up facts. You’ve found out for yourself, not taking anybody else’s word for what candidates stand for. After you’ve done your patriotic duty and cast your vote, come on back home and have another cup of coffee.
