    Lemme lead off with this interesting tidbit: caffeine does nothing for me. :(

    I get NO boost from it, and it doesn't keep me awake. On the plus side, I don't get nasty withdrawal headaches like TheWife if I don't get any.

    That said, I still quite like a lot of beverages that have caffeine in them and do drink them regularly. I down iced tea like an Irish poet downs whisky. And I like the occasional iced black eye (coffee with two shots of espresso.) But when I want to really freak people out...I'll have a five-shot mocha...right before bed. :)

    I have weened myself off of caffeinated drinks over the last month. The last time I had a drink with caffeine in it was about 2 weeks ago.

    But when I was on the 'feine my drink/s of choice were Vanilla Coke and Dr. Pepper. Now I'm all about the water. :)

    You know QT and these other places have Vanilla flavored soda for fountain drinks now...pretty awesome :)

    Two weeks is a long time man!

    I like a large double double coffee from Tim Hortons (double sugar double cream). You guys don't know what you are missing if you don't get Tim Horton's plain 'ole coffee. Cheap, too! Only $1.64 Canadian for a large cup, and their drivethrough window is one of the fastest setups on the planet. Other planets, I'm not so sure about, but...
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Never heard of Tim Hortons :)

    oh diet coke how i miss you. seriously i can't believe pregnancy forever ruined the taste of my fave beverage for me. it tastes like poo to me now, even after the baby is here!
    i love unsweetened black iced tea, mmmm. and i have yet to drink coffee again since Claire arrived but i am totally craving my past staple of iced 4 pump vanilla, 5 shot espresso from starbucks. i might just have to go get one to celebrate when she finally comes home!

    Wow, how awful would it be to not enjoy DC anymore!

    Mountain Dew.

    Diet Coke? Sure it has caffeine in it, but it is the last ingredient listed which means it has the least of that ingredient in it. :o)
