...Speaking of caffeine, this thread just reminded me that I actually have a cherry pepsi sitting right by me, one that I forgot about even though I grabbed it only like fifteen minutes ago oops. The ice in my cup is already melting ahhhhh.
But yeah. Among other types of caffeinated drinks .... okay, yeah, I grabbed that pepsi to try to perk me up slightly right now. That's about the best I can usually hope for from caffeine, just a little boost. Can't rely on it for much else. Although when it comes to choices like coffee or tea .... tea all the way. I could probably drink tea all day if I felt like making it all day. I can't stand the bitterness of coffee in more than tiny amounts.
(Which means, yeah, the only times I've enjoyed "coffee" is when it's also laden with large amount of sugar and syrups. Not something I'm going to have often.)
