Folgers’ Wake-Up Call

by Christine - From Dates to Diapers on October 17, 2008

Since I’ve been talking a lot about breakfast lately, and have also been blogging a bit about breast cancer awareness, I wanted to tell you about Folgers’ partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation. This month, Folgers is supporting breast cancer research and education for underserved women, with its limited edition Pink Can, which is now available in grocery stores and convenience stores, nationwide.

Photobucket

In addition to the Pink Can, and some good information, folgers.com is also offering a “wake up call” e-card that you can send to loved ones to make them aware of breast health and the importance of early detection.

Tips for Good Breast Health

  • Physical activity, a healthy diet, and a healthy weight can help reduce the risk of getting breast cancer.
  • All women age 40 and older should get an annual mammogram and an annual clinical breast exam.
  • Women age 20 to 39 should have a clinical breast exam at least every three years.
  • From age 20, women who choose to do a breast self-exam should receive instruction and have their technique reviewed at the time of their periodic health examination.
  • Women at increased risk (e.g., family history, genetic tendency, past breast cancer) should talk with their doctors about the benefits and limitations of starting mammography screening earlier, having additional tests (i.e., breast ultrasound and MRI), or having more frequent exams.

Would you like to win a Folgers Pink Can? I have 2 to give away!

On days I want a flavored coffee, Folgers Chocolate Truffle does it for me; but on regular old hit-the-to-do-list days, we drink Folgers Columbian.:)

I have been drinking Master Blend for many years now. For the past year, I have noticed that the flavor is just not as good or tastes funny to me. I had some coupons for Folgers 1/2 Caff. So I tried it and what is really funny is that I plan on staying with Folgers. The flavor is what I was missing in my old brand. I also have found that my boyfriend has switched to Folgers also instead of that nasty unbranded instant. I love the classic and the french roast. cbwidow1@yahoo.com Thank you so much for making a great coffee.

Well, I have a thing for Hazelnut coffee. Back when I had a life (LOL, before marriage and munchkin!) I used to travel a lot, usually staying in hostels, and I picked up a habit of a cup of coffee that way. The very first cup of coffee I remember drinking was a hazelnut vanilla blend. (and way stronger, because it wasn’t in the US! LOL I prefer it a little more mellow)

I really love seeing all these breast cancer awareness items out nowadays. My grandmother is a survivor.
