Worst of Folgers Coffee Ads

Here are some of Folgers Coffee’s worst ads in history. Over the years, Folgers have made numerous advertising blunders, here are some of the best ones.

Someone at Folger’s Ad agency must have thought it was a real smart idea to make it look like smoke coming up from a fresh cup  of delicious Folger’s coffee. It certainly looks good for a second or two, until you wake up and smell the coffee, or the stench from the sewers. Great way to tell people your brand is pure crap.

This TV Ad was from the 1950s but the internet being the way it is, we can all watch and cringe over it. Imagine if the same thing happened now, the man would get a stiletto through his head.

Here’s another classic Folger’s oops. Thanks to Google’s contextual advertising, Folger’s can automatically place an Ad beside mentions of Coffee. So when the internet is filled with news sites and blogs talking about this Coffee heart attack issue, there’s Folgers. Wonder how long it took them to realize it and take it down.
