La Touraine Coffee

Muppets, Inc. produced fifteen 10-second ads for La Touraine Coffee, a Boston-based company, from 1958 to 1962. The ads featured Wilkins and Wontkins.

Following the success of the Wilkins Coffee commercials in the Washington, D.C. market, Jim Henson sold the concept to coffee companies in other local markets around the US, including La Touraine Coffee, Nash Coffee, Community Coffee, Martinson Coffee and Red-Diamond (Martinson) Coffee. The same ads were reshot, with the only difference being the name of the coffee company.
