    I've asked others if they remember these ads back in the 80's. Thanks for posting this! Now I have proof!

    Oh god! I have talked about these ads and made references to "coffee achievers" for years! Even at the time people didn't know what I was talking about. I am soooo glad there's evidence it existed!

    It's hard to imagine there needed to be TV ads to get the word out of coffee.

    See you're not dillusional! They did exist! Now you hardly have to advertise coffee, but the National Coffee Association still exists.

    Lol I love how David Bowie when they say American Society. Considering he is British and cocaine is what got him up in the morning

    I remember Bloom County made fun of these ads. These were so weird. They're even weirder seeing them 25 years later.

    "The movers and the shakers"

    I always loved this line from these commercials,... it's probably all that caffeine that has them moving and shaking so much.

    Ha! I remember this ad! We named our college bowling team the Coffee Achievers back in the early 90s ( it was a 8AM PE class!) This ad was shown all the time during Friday Night Videos circa 1984.
