What Is A Pop Culture Expert And What Kind of Coffee Does She Drink?

-



I was watching a segment on "The Today Show" last week and a woman was being interviewed about some particular news event. I can't even remember what the story was about. But I can't get her title out of my head, "Pop Culture Expert."

It made me wonder if I have what it takes to be a pop culture expert. Is it something that is now being offered as a major in colleges? A Bachelor of Science in Popular Culture? I wonder if there is such a thing? Probably.

Anyway, I would imagine that it requires a lot of reading of things like "Us Weekly" and "In Touch," and even "The National Enquirer." How many followers do you need on "twitter?" And of course, you'd have to be on "LinkedIn," and I would imagine you'd have thousands of Facebook "friends."

And you probably have to wear like really high heels and Minx nails and get facial peels and hang out in posh salons and the hippest bars and know all the latest restaurants. And not just the restaurants, but the chefs of each restaurant, and of course, you'd have to at least know a few "A" list celebrities personally. Or, at the very least, quite a few "B" list celebrities.

This young woman was very pretty. She had a great figure, was well-dressed and naturally well-spoken.

However, there was one thing I remember thinking throughout the time I watched her being interviewed and that is - what kind of coffee does a Pop Culture Expert drink?

    Sadly, she would drink whatever was the most popular at the time...

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

You may not have noticed, but Eight O'Clock Coffee (which I used to refer to as Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee) has experienced a new attitude. There's new packaging and now there is even an Eight O'Clock K-Cup(R). I enjoy and delight in experiencing artisan roasted coffee and I can ride the "third wave" as good as the next person, but sometimes I just want to remember the way things used to be. So, the Eight O'Clock K-Cup  is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee that's always had a special place in my heart - but with a new twist. All these new single-serve coffees are making me lazy. But, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity coffee-lover. Here's to the weekend!

All Time Favorite Coffee Jingles

I have consumed a lot of coffee over the last couple of decades, but it's mainly through "trial and error," "word of mouth," or "pure luck," that I found those I've enjoyed the most. And, of course, the folks who reach out and let me know about the great coffees that are out there. But with micro roasters becoming more and more popular, and grocery store coffee being talked about less, even though many supermarket varieties are very good, I can't help but remember some of those jingles and television commercials that remain etched in my mind. Some of my favorite coffee jingles: "Good to the Last Drop" (TM) (Maxwell House) "Richness Worth A Second Cup" (TM) (Yuban) "The Best Part of Waking Up, Is Folgers In Your Cup" (TM) And, last but not least, drumroll. . . .my all-time favorite: "Fill It To the Rim With Brim" (TM) (Brim Decaffeinated Coffee) (special thanks to my sister for remin
