I see no one remembers the commercials where "we secretly replaced the normal coffee served with Folger's crystals...let's see if they can tell the difference". (Gawd...I'm showing my age, aren't I?)<br><br>Anyways, glad to see the NA back in action again! Though...isn't putting laxative in coffee kinda redundant?

Well, coffee is only a mild laxative. Putting an actual laxative in there would only enhance it, really.

In the village stores and the bush order catalogs, you could buy it in 15 pound (7 kg) tins. If you were ordering it, it came in cartons of 6 tins . . . a lot of cheap coffee.
