Ee-yew!

I didn't know about the chicory, but there's nothing particularly 
special about the coffee. I think "Chock Full O'Nuts" is mostly an 
East Coast (US) thing, though, because i remember the "Chock Full 
O'Nuts" restaurants (if you can deign to call them that) in New York 
City. The company dates back to the 1920's i think.

I do have a "Chock Full O'Nuts" can, though (not the coffee), because 
i like the old Art Deco style of the graphics. I got it in the 
1970's. They've no doubt revised it and the graphics are probably not 
as cool anymore.
