I was wondering if Wilkins Coffee is still available. I've Googled "Wilkins Coffee", and mostly what I find is the info about the old commercials (which is okay). But I can't find much information about the coffee itself...I've never seen it, and I wondered if it is (or was) only available on the east coast.

Um, anyone know?

I am almost positive that the Wilkins company went out of business sometime in the eighties, I believe also that's when the tape containing a good chunk of their commercials started circulating.

Really? I didn't know. I just found this link and I didn't know if it was outdated or something:

Interesting find and nice little profile, I do think it must be outdated though. The Wilkins company by rights should show up via Google, all companies have websites nowadays. It would be swell though if they were in fact still in business.

Yes, it does in fact look like they ARE still in business.

Perhaps we Muppet fans should buy nothing else, and make them a house brand name again.
