    Melissa, a friend of mine sent me that link. I’ve never tried one.

    I’m a regular reader of this blog, and figured I need to finally post for this:

    Me and my brother found the ‘Hello Boss’ coffee cans a while ago in an oriental grocery store in Tempe and we immediately knew they are an imitation of the Mr.Brown iced coffee, which is Taiwanese and is very popular in my home country of Cyprus among other places. The logo for Mr. Brown is very similar but better drawn.

    We bought some because we miss Mr.Brown and could’t find in in Arizona so far, but I don’t remember the taste. Mr Brown Vanilla is glorious, however, and fuelled both me and my brothers through our mandatory army service years.

    Actually, my wife found these here in Tempe - I’m not sure where, I’ll have to ask her. It was “made in Vietnam” I believe, but packaged for the states (different than the can pictured here). There were two varieties. They actually tasted pretty decent.

    99 Ranch Market on 44th St, in the Chinese Cultural Center Carries Mr. Brown as well as many other Asian canned coffees.

    Oh that’s very interesting.

    Here’s a photo I found on Flickr of Mr. Brown.

    The Sunflower Market in Tempe is where you can get them… packaged in English, distributed by Walong Marketing, made in Taiwan.

    The same site with the Hello Boss review has a fairly damning review of Mr. Brown coffee…
