The entire commercial is hilariously weird. I don’t think Heart primarily used coffee to keep themselves going when mixing their album.

But seriously, who got Vonnegut to agree to be in a commercial for anything?

    I’m not so old I can say anything about the 80s, but in my experience people did not drink anywhere near as much coffee before Starbucks took off. Seattle was considered weird for after-morning coffee consumption, and even wake up drink was more often tea.

      I am that old. I was born in 1977. Every single restaurant served coffee in the 80s. McDonalds did too, hence the famous coffee lawsuit. It was ubiquitous.

        Remember the dumbass commercials with ‘hidden cameras’ and ‘we replaced your coffee with instant coffee and you loved it’? I remember even as a kid thinking who the hell is dumb enough to make a commercial about this.
