Sexualised coffee

[Crackle]

Would anyone like to comment on the sexualised nature of my coffee?

I'll admit my eye went from Grown by Women straight to Rich, Dark & Gorgeous but that's enough of my fantasies.

It's probably crap if marketed that way

All in the eye of the beholder.

My mental image of 'rich, dark and gorgeous' is more like this:

Yep, good coffee shouldn't need sexist marketing crap like that.. Who cares what sex grew your coffee, I just want it to taste good.

RAVE coffee for me all the way

I think you may be confusing brunette trade with fair trade.

i would think the odds are fairly high that the tea leaves in my teabags were picked by women too.

yeah that's fine, I'm glad no one chose to spin it as Rich, dark and gorgeous. He's a nice enough bloke but I don't want to think of him over my morning coffee.

Back in the 70's they got real men to advertise coffee

Is that anything like Sexual Chocolate? They play so fine don't you agree?

If, like the civet coffee beans, they had been passed through the alimentary canal (in this case of Italian beauties), then they might just have a marketing gimmick...

I prefer a nice warm teabagging.

All I can say is that 99 percent of marketing is aspirational.

Crax prefers rough trade to fair trade normally so I think this is all part of his, albeit slow, evolutionary curve
