THAT Folgers commercial
Two speakers discuss a famous 1990s-2000s Folgers commercial featuring a brother and sister with uncomfortable chemistry that has spawned thousands of fan fiction stories online with explicit content covering numerous sexual categories.
Summary
The speakers discuss a viral Folgers commercial from the 2000s that featured a brother and sister with an awkward, seemingly suggestive dynamic. One speaker reveals that this commercial has inspired an enormous fan fiction community online, with thousands of stories written about the characters. They note that these fan fictions have expanded into an entire fictional universe with an 'expanded universe' concept. The speaker examined the content tags on these fan fictions and found that the community has created explicit content covering virtually every sexual category imaginable. The conversation then shifts to imagining the experience of the actors involved in filming the original commercial. They speculate that the actors likely worked on set for only a few hours, earned modest compensation (around $200), and expected to receive residual payments. However, decades later, these actors have become unintentionally associated with an enormous body of sexually explicit fan-created content, making them inadvertently famous in internet culture for content they never created or intended to inspire.
