Barking Up The Wrong Tree

I’m just sipping my Maxwell House coffee, enjoying it while disagreeing totally with the slogan “Good to the last drop.” Maybe that’s my fault, though. I don’t buy filters and instead use the mesh one that came with the coffee maker. It’s reusable and better for the environment and saves me money and yadayadaya but it allows coffee grounds to seep into my morning brews.

It’s like drinking a spoonful of dirt at the end of each cup. What a goddamn slogan that would be. Maxwell House: “Good to the mouthful of crud.”
