As more Americans opt for apartment living, the coffee brand serves up a year’s worth of coffee to match their 12-month leases

Opting?! We have no choice!

Holy shit this is a real thing? The most braindead and out of touch marketing executive dreamed this up.

pretty sure it's just bullshit being written to assist their shitty ai garbage in producing false bullshit.. gotta train that dogshit data into the information takeover somehow.

In a time when almost a third of Americans are opting to rent instead of purchase a home,

Didn't know it was a choice.

Oh it is, the other options didn't have proper walls or climate control though.

You could buy a really small one. Like a box.

Writers at The Onion must be tearing their hair out.

Is this going to be another one of those things where a bunch of online bots try to incite a manufactured outrage?

Maxwell Apartment is a part of a limited-time marketing campaign

There's a lot to unpack here, but there's a reason some people like getting coffee from a good cafe sometimes -- where it's fresh and sourced/roasted/prepared by someone who possibly gives a shit -- instead of scooping questionable brown powder that tastes like exploitation from a giant plastic tub. And yes, we know it's more expensive.

Honestly can't wait for Maxwell House, Folgers et al and their shitty supply chains to croak.

What's the opposite of eating the onion? Cuz I just did that

"no one is drinking our shitty coffee! do something" what a brain-dead gimmick.
