Er, those reports always change every time the wind blows. All that caffeine can't be good for you. I remember they said drink wine, no don't drink wine, yea drink wine, no drink grape juice, no don't drink gape juice drink wine. MAKE UP YOUR MIND!
 
Meanwhile.. I think I'll have another cup of coffee!

The original Mountian Dew was drinkable, but they have ruined it with the new chemicals. Go start a Mountian Dew.. Is it still the same color? .. thread.

According to this source, coffee contains substaintially more caffein then Mt. Dew. I tend to stronger coffee, so a single 12oz mug of my coffee is like between 3 & 4 bottles of Mt. P** I mean Dew.

I keep forgetting the implied smilies!

Hurray! It's no longer an addiction, it's a healthy habit!

Man, do you get the shakes if you don't get ur hit of coffee? Thats an insane amount of caffeine. I don't drink caffeine because it lowers your creatine levels in your muscles.

P.S. The origional montain dew was from 1964! I bet you had to use a bottle opener for that! I guess things were different in the days before aluminum cans and plastic bottles. :biggrin:

I do not understand what you mean by not getting my hit? Why would I not start the day with a pot of coffee? Is life possible without coffee? :confused: (Black for me, none of those buffering fats and sugars, give to me straight!) One pound of whole beans lasts me about 3 weeks so I am not reallly that heavy a drinker. 3-4 cups to start the day another cup or 2 to get me through the night. (I work nights)

EDIT:
Yes it was 1964, I had a morning paper route, the new pop showed up in the pop machine at the local gas station. Yes, it was in green bottles, yes, it required a bottle opener, yes it was good.

Who needs caffeine? I have actually never drank any coffee. In fact, about 4 years ago I started drinking nothing but water, over those 4 years I have had maybe 6 drinks (~1 glass each) that were not water.
 
  • #16
I don't usually drink coffee because sometimes it makes my stomach hurt. But the last two days I drank a large coffee from starbucks because I needed help staying awake during a test. Man, I went through the day like a humming bird.

Cafe has been verdy verdy good, to me.

Since I have a variation on type I diabetes that could change to type II anytime, I think I'll have another fine cup of coffee. :biggrin:

I don't know about back in the plank era or whenever all you were born:biggrin:, but I know that in todays world, Mountain Dew has to be the most disgusting band of soda out there today! Yuck
 
  • #20
I think it tastes good, but it has to be SO damn bad for you.
 
  • #21
I hate the taste as well...horrible. I really think the , to quote another poster "Mountain P***" is a much better name.

Homer: Now what do you have to wash that awful taste out of my mouth?
Vendor: Mountain Dew or crab juice.
Homer: Blecch! Ew! Sheesh! I'll take a crab juice.

:smile:

I wished they aired that episode more. One of my favorites.
 
  • #24
Hahahah, Crab Juice, I remember that one. He bought meat on a stick...HAH!
 
  • #25
I couldn't find it. What's the caffeine content of crap juice?

Ivan, you got a pot of coffee ready?
 
  • #26
It's like 1000mg. Or maybee it is 1g. I can't remember.

I need caffeine because I'm NOT a morning person, yet the rest of the world seems to think EVERYONE MUST be a morning person. You do not want to risk having a non-morning person to get up early in the morning without having plenty of caffeine to ease the transition from sleep to wakefulness (that's about a 5 hour transition for me without caffeine...sometime around noon I gain full function of my faculties and can resist the urge to smack anyone who seems overly peppy). :biggrin:

And I was thinking a cup of coffee sounded good, I think I'll go make some now. It's never too early to get a good start on the morning caffeination. :biggrin: :smile:

We've got a pot of caffeine among all the other chemical compounds (about half a kilo). I think I'll start adding some to my camomilla tea :wink:

Actually I won't, the tremors, reduced patience, palpitations and withdrawal headaches aren't very enticing.

I'm sleepy - I was looking at the current list of GD threads and I saw:

"Ivan Blew up another pot of coffee"

I need more coffee to rectify this problem.
