You can't fix Stupid, but you can occasionally head it off before it hurts something.

Re: Camp Coffee
Coffee and chicory blend is a New Orleans holdover tradition from harder times...like the US Civil War under Union Occupation I'd guess. But... I'd think you'd have to look far to find this canned stuff in the US.Camp Coffee is a brown liquid which consists of water, sugar, 4% caffeine-free coffee essence, and 26% chicory essence

Duncan noted that early cans show the Indian as a servant and in the modern version as a social equal.
