Folger

Supermarket coffee name

Folger is a surname, most recognizable from Folgers coffee, the American brand that became synonymous with home-brewed coffee through decades of advertising.

The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., founded by Standard Oil executive Henry Clay Folger, houses the world's largest Shakespeare collection.

The Folgers commercial jingle was inescapable in the 1980s.
