VINTAGE COMMERCIAL - JUAN VALDEZ COFFEE - 1970s

A shame now whenever Colombia is mentioned, the only thing that comes to mind is cocaine.

Working his ass off for the GRINGO COFFEE COMPANY!!

It is in these hills that Juan Valdez and his trusty goat gather coffee beans every morning.

Hello Ladies!

You know, listening carefully, I could swear that the announcer was a gringo talking in a phony accent...

The phrase "rrrich Corrrinnnthian llleather" would fit perfectly into this monologue.

OMG I love that guitar playing throughout the commercial...beautiful music

It's a gringo with a great voice! Norman Rose.

Somebody know the name of the song the guitar is playing throughout the commercial...

Rined

R.I.P. Carlos Sánchez as Juan Valdez

RIP

Hey Now!

HOW can "Historic Films Stock Footage" claim copyright on another corporations TV ad?

I wonder if this company is backed by the cartel....y wouldnt they run a coffee business on the side....extra money 4em.....

I bet Juan grows more than just coffee in his farm

I remember this commercial from when l was growing up. The beans were hand picked by Juan Valdez!
Years ago a relative was in the hospital and we went down to the cafeteria. This relative was in a cranky mood. Someone got a coffee from the machine, and my niece said 'the beans were hand picked by Juan Valdez...' our ill relative took a sip of coffee, looked at it, and grouched it looks like Juan Valdez took a shit in it... we all cracked up laughing!

Does he have his papers?

"Juan Valdez has been seperated from his donkey."

Juan worked hard those days

Juan Valdez switched to growing coca in the 1980s.

“Gracias, Juan!”

“S’alright.”

Been drinking Columbian coffee for 46 years to the day and I plan on drinking Columbian till I die.

I didn't realize Juan hand picks and washes one bean at a time. Most coffee makers wouldn't do that. Thanks Juan! 😍
