For 20 weeks in 2003-2004, there was a supermarket strike in Southern California against four supermarket chains by the United Food and Commercial Workers union. One of the affected chains was Ralphs Markets (Kroger), were my mom and I shopped.
During the strike, some products were not available. One of them was Chase & Sanborn coffee, my favorite coffee brand.
When the strike ended, some products returned but Chase & Sanborn coffee didn't. It wasn't available anywhere. I had to switch to Maxwell House coffee. It was pretty close to Chase & Sanborn in flavor. I haven't seen it any Chase & Sanborn since.
The other day, I thought about it and did some searching to see what happened to it. Well, I never did find the answer, but I did find that it was still available and found some at Amazon, of all places. So I ordered a 30.5 ounce can and it arrived yesterday and I picked it up from the post office this morning.
As soon as my current batch of Maxwell House is gone, I'll be making myself some Chase & Sanborn coffee. I hope it is still as good as it was 20 years ago.
