AKA the Rare-Pair Threshold

If your pairing has fewer fics than this, it’s a Rarepair. Why was this particular number selected, you may ask? Well, you see:

It's that time of year again! The season of the Folgers Holiday Commercial! It's been over 15 years now since it came out (check out this article about the ten year anniversary and the impact it's had). It's an institution!

Unfortunately, Tumblr was a big grinch and deleted the old gifset version that had hundred of thousands of notes, labelling it 'adult material' even though nothing in it was adult, just some sweet siblings reuniting and having an, err, unusual amount of chemistry. But nothing inappropriate happens, so there was no reason to delete that classic post (I mean, granted, maybe some reblogs went more adult, but still, no reason to delete the root which deserved Tumblr Heritage Post status).

And for me, reblogging about the commercial, several times, was part of my Tumblr Christmas Tradition (along with *cough*writing at least one annual mashup fic to help populate the Folgers Commercial's tag on AO3*cough*). I had trouble finding another big post to reblog in its place, so I'm making my own. Except I don't really have the means to reproduce the gifset so until I find a better option I'm just going directly to the source to post the video.
