Related: About this forumWe’ve Replaced Your Wife With Folgers Crystals
Everything indicated that the American divorce rate would drop after the invention of Folgers Crystals. Research indicates, however, that in the early 1960s, when these commercials were introduced, divorce was at its lowest rate of the decade. Over the next ten years, the divorce rate doubled.
We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Got stuck in a house upstate and that's all there was. I had more Rolaids than crystals.

She could have straightened this mess out without that poor woman having to go to a crystal therapist.
