Last week I told you that, in honor of the upcoming Blu-Ray box-set release of Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery, I’d be dedicating Tuesdays to Twin Peaks.
Here is a series of deliciously weird coffee advertisements that ran in Japan in 1993. It seems like a no brainer to use Agent Cooper and Co. to shill coffee. But here’s what’s really weird (in addition to the fact that it’s Twin Peaks)–it’s canned coffee. Which I guess isn’t too bizarre–I mean, Starbucks sells those bottled iced mochaccino thingies. But seriously, like Coop would ever drink anything other than a steaming, hot cup o’ joe that’s as black as a moonless night!
Anyway, here is the series. Enjoy!

Almost all the coffee you get in Japan seemed to be in vending machines, in hot cans. But boy they were good! Of course I was only in Nagoya, but anything about Asia you post gets me excited. 😀
