What do coffee, Seinfeld, and Google all have in common? They are the topics of this blog post!
I was on a call yesterday where the topic of coffee in sitcoms came up. I was curious: what television show spoke about coffee the most? We noted the lack of coffee mentions in Seinfeld. Seinfeld didn’t drink coffee. Frasier, the other 90s sitcom with which I am most familiar, featured coffee much more prominently: mentions of beans and origins and different drinks can be found throughout the series. Now I’m thinking about the double-shot, low-fat, no-foam latte.
I went to Google and typed in “How many times is “coffee” mentioned in popular sitcoms?”, excited to get an answer. The first result was my blog post on coffee in 90s sitcoms:
I forgot I wrote a blog post about coffee in 90s sitcoms! I really do love 90s sitcoms and coffee.
I smiled quite a bit when I saw my blog post show up first for my search query. Am I an authority on 90s sitcom coffees?, I think, sarcastically. But then, scrolling through a bit, I realised there wasn’t a clear answer to my question. I was curious how many times coffee was mentioned in Seinfeld and Frasier. I suspect Frasier references coffee more — there were so many coffee mentions in Café Nervosa.
