Hmmm I never imagined this was how Mr. Coffee ground his beans

"Interesting concept" for a "coffe grinder". I tried to "order" one but it said it was unavailable.
Most of you are too young to remember but in the late seventies, Sears published a catalog with mens underwear showing too much. It was "big news" back then. They even made a song about page 212 in the Sears Catalog. I saved my copy for years, but my Late MIL , trying to help while babysitting ,threw it out. I cuoud have sold it on E-Bay. Thanks for sharing this error. It brought back some memories.

lol That's funny about Sears! WOOOPS! Too bad the grinder or the boots aren't in stock. Either one would have been a good deal for $5.

They're probably out of stock because all the Mr Coffee employees bought new ones so that they can continue to grind our coffee.

OMG! Thank you for this wonderful post. I would never have thought of Snopes. I was wrong about the Page Number but after all it was 32 years ago. I enjoyed it so much. You have to remember that 1975 was a different era and it was BIG NEWS. It was not a water mark. I saw the "real" thing. Sears can protest all they want to protect thier image.....but I don't believe them. Gosh I wish I still had that catalog......LOL. Thanks again for the "memories".
