One of the shows I always watched growing up was The Andy Griffith Show. Though I wasn't greatly fond of Andy Griffith and Barney drove me nuts (and still does for some reason) I loved the show! Go figure! Maybe it was Aunt Bee - I did love Aunt Bee, but most likely it was because I was about the same age as Opie (Ron Howard), who I still like and admire to this day as you can see from a past post here.
This video is such a typical exchange, but done as a commericial for Sanka coffee - a coffee powder to which you added hot water for "instant" coffee!
BTW, the first instant coffee was introduced by Nestlé and was called Nescafe! It was created by Nestlé in 1938 in a freeze-dried process when Nestlé was asked by Brazil to help find a solution to their coffee surpluses! Postum? No, folks, Postum was not coffee it was made from bran, wheat, and molasses and developed as a coffee substitute!
There's your little pop culture history on instant coffee, and here's your Monday Retro Commercial starring Don Knotts as Barney Fife and Andy Griffith as Andy Taylor hoping to get you to buy more Sanka:
