Thanks for putting words in my mouth, clown. Best try re-reading the
thread again, after taking reading and comprehension 101.

My position was Thunder did not know about the jingle despite the
reference given later by penmart. It was delivered first as a one liner
without, WITHOUT, attribution. And without that, it stood as the OP's
statement. Anyone, without knowledge of the jingle, should challenge the
ridiculous claim. As Thunder said, he didn't know about the jingle.

My reply to the rfc troll was in relation his slam of Thunder, who does
know more about coffee than that idiot does. Guaranteed.

BTW, as you seem interested in well roasted coffees, try roasting your
own and visit Thunder, me and dozens of others who do our own roasting.
Perhaps you have a thing or two to learn.
