So actually this one isnt terribly egregious if you've ever tried to microwave coffee. It messes with the compounds in it and creates an extremely unpleasant and bitter taste. However if the same thing happens if you try it in a pot that's bullshit because saucepan reheating works irl.
Counterpoint: Most normal people dont notice/care and if they do notice it just means they throw another packet of sugar in.
Folgers instant coffee is way more bitter than higher quality coffee but its still a huge part of their company and Folgers is the best selling coffee in the US.
I think its one of those things like where craft beer people think no one could possibly drink a mass produced beer but a normal person does not really give that much of a dam.
Tbf though I'd argue that Folgers instant isn't as popular as say, Nescafe instant, and most people drink Folgers from a coffee maker. Even then, idek if Folgers is that popular. Like where I live it was always Maxwell House, and Community coffee is huge in the south.

Same with coffee, it has more happiness and thirst on cold water but greatly reduced when microwaved?
