Pallet 43: �30 secs.^^Series of spots where husband and wife quarrel over coffee -- coffee ^tastes rotten; a) always wife's fault and b) making it is always wife's^responsibility. Butternut guy shows up to save day, solve marital^difficulties, by introducing Butternut coffee as the answer. Why is he^upside down? Because instead of blending and roasting their coffee^beans, ButterNut turns the process upside down, roasting then blending�^their beans. (shown with chart). ^^Scenario: an older couple, in traditionally styled 70s kitchen.^^Wife: (with Swedish accent, to husband): Good coffee?^Husband: (with Swedish accent): Yah, good for nothing.^^Note: a thinly veiled sendup of Folger's fictitious spokesperson, Mrs. Olsen (who promoted Folger's coffee with an equally fake Swedish accent) [advertising spoof, send-up].^^Note: A Coca Cola product.�^^Faded. -- MPP 03/01/2016
