While contemplating what to add to my blog, along the coffee lines, I remembered a coffee commercial that was aired on radio by Pemco Insurance Company. Their campaign is that “We are a lot like you…a little different”. They use humor along with our Pacific Northwest unique-isms.
While all the commercials are really funny (if you have a chance, click on the links…there is some truth to all…by the way, I do live in the convergence zone—regarding the “First Snowflake Freak-Out Lady" radio ad).
Back to coffee, when my daughters and I first heard this commercial we could not stop laughing. I had tears running down my face, because it was so funny! People in Seattle do take their coffee seriously. While most orders aren’t that long, I do have colleagues that have super-long coffee orders. I try keeping mine simple… “tall, decaf mocha, extra hot”.

#76: The Super-Long Coffee Orderer (click on “Hear Radio Ad” towards the bottom on the left-hand side. Then click on “The Super-Long Coffee Orderer on the right side.)
Hope these brought a smile to your face…

Maria,
ReplyDeleteThose were hilarious! I love the "4-way stop you go, no you go, no you go guy". I've been in that situation. I'm sure being from Seattle you can appreciate a lot of these. I don't frequent little coffee shops (I'm a Dunkin Donuts gal, myself) so I have never been behind the "Super Long Coffee-Orderer" but I think he would drive me crazy!
I'm not in your blog group but I like checking out other people's blogs and I've enjoyed reading your writing so far. I like that it is about the day-to-day things in your life. It gives your readers some insight into who you are.
Thanks, Karen. It's been fun! I have another coffee art to add. We are having fun with my postings.
ReplyDeleteThose ads are funny! I listened to quite a few of them. They make me want to come to the west coast! You all sound very friendly.
