Anyone else tired of C&K’s spammy emails now a days...

Now before anyone makes a comment sure, I could just unsubscribe, but I like to see what upcoming releases they have in regards to new products. But today’s email takes the cake. The email had nothing to do with weightlifting, Crossfit, or the culture. Just some random dude talking about coffee milk and coffee bacon...

Anyone else feel like their brand has become watered down over the years?

@tboymessiah What new products could you possibly miss out on? A new coffee? A new t-shirt with their brand on it? I never understood the appeal of this company. They literally do nothing but sell a lifestyle of 'Hey you like coffee? You like working out? Let's tell EVERYBODY!"

@jnnp I definitely do kinda agree, on that, they haven’t really put out anything phenomenal in quite some time. But today’s email took the cake...

@tboymessiah But... coffee cake doesn’t even have coffee in it.

@tboymessiah I don't understand this company at all. It seems like they sell coffee, clothing, and some weightlifting accessories. Do weightlifters drink an inordinate amount of coffee? What do those things have to do with one another?

Is it just basically a brand of clothing?

Their website "about us" tells you absolutely nothing.

@graziella I agree, this company makes zero sense. You don't buy barbells from coffee growers in Ethiopia or Columbia, so why insist on buying coffee from fitness companies, t-shirt brands, celebrities?

@graziella The founders all used to train out of Coffee's (Weightlifting) Gym. It's actually more of an inside joke, and they also like coffee (the drink).

@tboymessiah I don’t even stay on email subscription lists from companies I use very often (Nordstrom, Misfit, nike, etc). How could you stand to get emails that are that lame? Instant unsubscribe

@unforgiven1 Agreed, I hate getting emails.

@tboymessiah Also the fact that they're always sold out, they make like 10 of each item max. So edgy!
