Angry town hall outbursts have officially wound their way into pop culture as Starbucks, which is pushing a new instant coffee, references the town hallers in a couple of new ads out this week.

The theme of the ads is that no one — not priests, rabbis and jockeys, not people who look like their pets, not Civil War re-enactors — can taste the difference between their fresh and instant coffees.

In this one, a narrator says, “People who yell at town hall meetings can’t taste the difference.”
