Cramer's Stop Trading! Is Starbucks' Instant Coffee Better than Sanka? (9/29/09)

Stocks discussed on Jim Cramer's Stop Trading! TV Segment, Tuesday September 29.

Ralph Lauren (RL), VFC Corp (VFC), Walgreens (WAG), CVS Caremark (CVS), Starbucks (SBUX)

After a blind taste test, Cramer declared Starbuck's instant decaf the winner against Sanka, although he admits comparing Starbucks to Sanka was "setting the bar pretty low."

Cramer called Ralph Lauren a "miracle" and says it has been a "monster stock since the bottom." He says he doesn't know why the retailer didn't participate in the summer rallies and the fact it was at $60 was "heretical." Cramer says he also likes VFC.

Cramer also recommended Walgreens and CVS as a play on the winter flu shot.

I saw the coffee 'spitting' episode on CNBS yesterday and if that wasn't enough reason to take that buffoon off the air then what is?

I don't care what a few people who call in to his show say, Cramer is a disgrace and CNBS should be ashamed.

If they can improve instant, more power to them. I might be interested if they paid a dividend.

I tried the Starbucks, it is surprisingly good, does not taste at all like instant.
