They Didn't Get the Memo About Postum
I have Google Alerts about Postum sent to me whenever someone searches for it (or at least it seems that way). Apparently, some of the bigwigs in the newspaper publishing business didn't get the memo about the discontinuance of Postum.
SunJournal.com
I didn't see an author's name to go with "Looking Back" on August 4, 2008, so the author must not be that big of a wig.
The author mentioned, in the second paragraph:
One of the most delicious, wholesome and of late years, highly popular summer beverages is iced Postum. Boil according to directions on the package. Cool it with cracked ice, add sugar, cream, a "suspicion" of lemon and a "whisper" of nutmeg, perhaps - or simply sugar and lemon juice if you prefer it clear. No prohibition movement against Postum in any state, because it is made from clean, hard wheat skillfully roasted, contains no coffee, alcohol or other injurious substance.
Daily Herald
James Mooney stated that the "United States isn't energy-poor nation". He finished the story with the last paragraph on September 4, 2008:
I guess we will all have to switch to Postum if the South American countries stop selling us their coffee beans. That will really constitute a crisis for our country.
I couldn't help but comment on that one. He obviously didn't get the memo.

I'd never heard of Postum before now, so I read your post "What is Postum?" That's interesting how it's been around since 1895 and so recently shut down. What's more interesting is how those media people weren't aware of it!

WOW. These people really didn't get the memo. I am quite shocked! Thanks for sharing this. I am shocked as well.

I had never heard of Postum before. I wonder if there is anywhere in the states to still get it.
