When was the last time you had coffee that wasn't 100% Aribica beans? Never that's when. Do they need to stop saying it all the time. They being Big Coffee.
Going back to the beginning of the century, Arabica coffee was the major ingredient in most commercial blends and coffee was one of the most popular beverages in the country. However, the major coffee producers realized that they could mix a little Robusta coffee into the blend and the consumers would not be able to tell the difference. The cost of the blend was reduced (since Robusta coffee is cheaper) and the coffee producers were able to make greater profits. After this first experiment the coffee sellers began, each year, to mix in more Robusta coffee and less Arabica coffee with greater profitability being recognized each year.This went on for a number of years before the law of unintended consequences reared its often ugly visage; people stopped drinking coffee. Sure some of the oldtimers were still choking down bitter watery brown liquid but the time honored generational traditional of passing down a coffee addiction was ebbing. Young people, who had not slowly been introduced to Robusta coffee but were being asked (by the coffee mavens) to accept it in one fell swoop, found that the repugnant brew was not preferential to the myriad of other beverages from which they could choose.
I kinda am tired of crazy Oreo flavors. The problem is that one man's birthday cake is another man's apple pie.
