re: #362 wheat-dogghazi

Scratch the info in my #354. I swear, tracking down corporate ownership is harder than genealogical research. S.A. Schonbrunn & Co, the original makers of Savarin, were bought by American Maize, then by Tetley, which is owned by Tata Global Beverages of India. As to who makes Savarin coffee now is anyone’s guess.

Tata owns the Eight O’Clock Coffee brand, though. Talk about globalization.

Eight O’Clock? That was always A&P back in the day. The only coffee my grandmother would buy.

In a fit of nostalgia, I thought about buying some EOC beans at the grocery store, but didn’t because they were a bit pricey—now I know why.
