Lee: So is “Chock Full o’Nuts” just nuts, or is it something with nuts?
Della: There are no nuts at all in it. It’s coffee.
Lee: Is it made with nuts?
Della: No.
Lee: Does it taste like nuts?
Della: Nope.
Lee: Then why is it “Chock Full?”
Della: I keep meaning to Google it and find out.
Lee: Hmm. I should blog about that.
Della: Yup.
What a complicated life you two lead. 😉
Shut up you miss us. :-p
Oh Dickie, don’t be jealous.
<3 you Lee.
It’s true. I do. And I am. =)
While, y’all were yackin’ I did google it and find out. Chock Full of Nuts started out as a bunch of stores selling nuts and then they switched to selling coffee during the Great Depression because shelled nuts were too much of a luxury. It’s all here in the official Chock Full of Nuts History:
