Eight O'Clock Coffee is the brand name of the light roast of coffee introduced by the American supermarket chain A&P in 1919. According to legend, the company came up with the name by conducting a survey asking people what time of day they drank coffee most. The majority of those surveyed reported that they typically drank coffee at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., which is why company went with the generic "Eight O'Clock Coffee."

In the 1929s and 1930s Eight O'Clock coffee had gained over a quarter of the U.S. market share. In 1979 A&P licensed its division Compass Foods, Inc. to sell Eight O'Clock coffee to other retailers including competing supermarket chains. In July 2005, it was acquired by India's Tata Coffee.

Today Eight O'Clock coffee is the third largest seller of whole bean coffee in the U.S.

GANGSTERS AND GUN MOLLS #3
DATE: March 1952
STORY TITLE: "Janita Perez - the Gypsy Killer"
STORY PLOT: Not a reefer madness story. Marihuana is only mentioned once and then only under the word Weed, In "Janita Perez - the gypsy killer." The story seems to be about a bad girl who started early and committed every kind of crime possible. Even running a dope ring. In one of the scene(s) she says " You wanted out -- But your can never get away from the WEED habit. -- It eats into you--You've got to have it!" -- Not worth reading.

Must be nice.

Thanks for the coffee info, Treadstone!

And Godfather1930, Nescafe 3 in 1 sucks if you have time to make proper coffee.

If anyone wants to try the coffee and can't find it around town, they sell it on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=365370011
