Based on a true coffee. Day Two.

The best time to drink Eight O'Clock Coffee... is the only time to drink Eight O'Clock Coffee.

Watch Day One first, if you're a fan of.. chronologic...ality.

We're gonna do a Day Three... because... so... it'll be a "Trilogy." I'm not sure if "Saga," is just 4+ or what... cause that sounds pretty cool too. I'll do some research.

In the meantime, go watch everything else on my entire profile. If you don't like "Love Buggies," you're probably... mature.

* Hah.. the president of Eight O'Clock Coffee saw this and said, "The fact that the characters die after tasting it is probably not the way I would have wanted it to end."

Eight O'Clock Coffee is the brand name of the light roast of coffee introduced by the American supermarket chain A&P in 1859. In 1919, the roast was renamed and given its current trademark.[1] According to legend, the company came up with the name by conducting a survey asking people what time of day they drank coffee most. The majority of those surveyed reported that they typically drank coffee at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., which is why company went with the name "Eight O'Clock Coffee."

In the 1929s and 1930s Eight O'Clock coffee had gained over a quarter of the U.S. market share. In 1979 A&P licensed its division Compass Foods, Inc. to sell Eight O'Clock coffee to other retailers including competing supermarket chains. In July 2005, it was acquired by India's Tata Coffee.

Today Eight O'Clock coffee is the third largest seller of whole bean coffee in the U.S. It is also claimed to be the best tasting coffee out in the market.[2] The Eight O'Clock Coffee company is headquartered in Montvale, NJ and produces its coffee in Landover, MD.[3]

Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX) is an international coffee and coffeehouse chain based in Seattle, Washington, United States.

Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse company in the world,[4] with 17,133 stores in 49 countries, including 11,068 in the United States, nearly 1,000 in Canada and more than 800 in Japan.[5]

Starbucks sells drip brewed coffee, espresso-based hot drinks, other hot and cold drinks, coffee beans, salads, hot and cold sandwiches and panini, pastry, snacks, and items such as mugs and tumblers.

Through the Starbucks Entertainment division and Hear Music brand, the company also markets books, music, and film. Many of the company's products are seasonal or specific to the locality of the store. Starbucks-brand ice cream and coffee are also offered at grocery stores.

From Starbucks' founding in later forms in Seattle as a local coffee bean roaster and retailer, the company has expanded rapidly. In the 1990s, Starbucks was opening a new store every workday, a pace that continued into the 2000s. The first store outside the United States or Canada opened in the mid-'90s, and overseas stores now constitute almost one third of Starbucks' stores.[6] The company planned to open a net of 900 new stores outside of the United States in 2009,[7] but has announced 900 store closures in the United States since 2008.

Starbucks has been a target of protests on issues such as fair-trade policies, labor relations, environmental impact, political views, and anti-competitive practices.
