And for a major coffee addict like Helenias, that's a good thing.

[Sanis Prent]

Green tea is better for you.

[Marcus Telcontar]

For the reasons in the article?

[Sanis Prent]

That, and Green Tea fights cancer, has more caffeine, reduces the risk of heart disease, etc

[Darth Viscera]

Coffee gives me diarrhea. I don't think my system can handle it, and decides to deport it immediately.

[ReaperFett]

Thanks for telling this Vis, I'll be sure to spike your drink :)


I drink hot chocolate and tea by the oceanfull

[Darth Viscera]

If you're going to spike my drink, please make it a caramel frappuchino with whip cream.

[ReaperFett]

Im not getting a STarbucks worker to spike it :)

[Alpha]

I drink hot chocolate mainly...Barney's coffee is good too though. :)

[ReaperFett]

You let a Dinosaur make you coffee? :)

[Chase Starwalker]

3 creams, lots of sugar! LOTS of sugar!


mmmm coffee :)

[Morgan Evanar]

I like coffee. Drink it once or twice a week. But its reaaaaly bad for your stomach, especially cafe' con leche.

[Alpha]

Capaccino(sp?) is good...:) And Fett~Please tell me you have something other then a Starbucks where you live...

[ReaperFett]

Theres one in town. I dont drink coffee :)

[Darth Viscera]

*tries to imagine a Starbuck's staffed with limeys and their outrageous accents.*

*ends up imagining 5 Winston Churchills and 5 Richard Quests wearing aprons*

*shudder*

[ReaperFett]

*tries to imagine anywhere with Vis*

*shudder*

[Taylor Millard]

I'd rather take the Winston Churchills. Plenty of conversation and cigars to pass around. :D

[imported_Lance Stormrider]

Hmmmm Cigars :rolleyes

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

gah; I'm so tired of hearing about Starbucks.

I swear to you all, there's both a Starbucks and a Tully's on every damn block, and then on every other one, we've got a Seattle's Best Coffee.




Seattle shouldn't be called the Emerald City, it should be called the Spawning Grounds of Microsoft and Starbucks.

[Marcus Telcontar]

As Helenias thinks she is a true coffee critic, she wont go near a StarBucks - she much prefers nameless cafes with weirdos in black, with real coffee from Brazil or Jamacia, with all sorts of weird flavours. She loves somethign called Mochachino. What the frell is that???

[ReaperFett]

Bat poo :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

:x

[imported_Lance Stormrider]

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT MOCHACHINO IS!!??? Where do you live a cave!!??? XD JK

Hmmm I've heard of it...but never tasted my RL mommy says it's excellent.....Gotta try some one of these days....

[ReaperFett]

Bat poo is used as food by some tribes :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

I dont really drink coffee, more of a tea person. So yes, I live in a cave.

[imported_Lance Stormrider]

Never drank Tea in my life :rolleyes and my parents always drink some......-_-

[ReaperFett]

Like Batman :)

[imported_Lance Stormrider]

Batman?? hmmmm.....

[Alpha]

Tea is good if it has lots of sugar...:)

[ReaperFett]

Yeah, Batman :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

Depends on the tea. Some tea (like chinese ones) taste really weird with sugar and are best off drunk as a brew only. Herbal teas are like this.

[ReaperFett]

sugar is a must for me :)

[Morgan Evanar]

Mocachino is eggselent. Miami has good coffee, despite the other things about it that are craptactular.

[Live Wire]

yummmm mocachino..........

I can't believe theres only one starbucks on okinawa! *cries*


Fortunately the people here are obsessed with coffee and tea so its not too bad. Coffee needs both cream and sugar but tea is good just the way it is. yummm......

*goes and gets some green tea*

[Gabran Darkysa]

Right now, iced cappacinos and iced tea are fine in southern California. Iced tea is a great means of hydrating myself, the weather here has been consistantly over 100F. Waaaaay too hot for coffee! I am sucking down alot of ice tea, water, and energy drinks these days... wheeeeewwww!


:: wipes his forehead ::

[Live Wire]

I heared it was really hot back home??? Hows the humidity level? Here its been in the mid 80's to mid 90's but the humidity makes it feel like 110. yuck!

Iced tea and iced coffee are a staple here too. There are vending machines everywhere!!! I mean like ever 10 feet and Im not exagerating. Even in the middle of nowhere theres a vending machine. And I understand why too.....hydration is very important.

[Gabran Darkysa]

We had a couple of days where the humidity felt like a 110%, no kidding. I thought we were in Florida and the air was very muggy and thick. Nights were even muggier. At my apartment the A/C freezes up occassionally, so I have suffered a few times. However the humidity seems to be dropping during the daytime.

Oh yeah, remember soda is a terrible way to re-hydrate with all the caffeine and it's diluted carbonated water.

[Live Wire]

lol yeah I've only had two soda's the whole time Im here. Vending machines here are mostly iced coffe, iced tea, juices and a couple sodas most likely pepsi. lol! oh and of course water. Its not like at home where vending machines are all various soda's.

yuck Im gonna leave humidity just to come home to humidity. oh well maybe I'll be used to it by then. A/C going out is not good. make sure you have a fan handy.

[Gabran Darkysa]

Yeah, cold showers, three fans, and cool sheets seems to have alleviated these A/C problems when they occur. ;)

[Live Wire]

ahh yes that should help

[Gabran Darkysa]

Yep! :)

[Daiquiri Van-Derveld]

Ive always heard that anything with caffiene in it is a de-hydrator. We have always drank iced tea at my house, even when growing up. I rarely drink coffee though but when I do it has to have a lot of cream and sugar.

But the best, imvho, is still Nestle's Quik. I started drinking it when I was around 8 and havent stopped. Its my morning pick-me-up and more than likely will be until the day I die. And I still drink it with a spoon ....nothing better! :)

[DarthHERA]

coffee good

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

never really liked coffee myself, affects me too much for some odd reason, makes me too wide awake for hours.....honestly buggy eyed look is not good.....

[Marcus Telcontar]

4 talkespoons of coffe.

5 tablespoons of sugar.

Mix

Get hauled off roof 5 minutes later

[Azhure Darkstone]

Did someone say coffee? :D

*joins them with incredible speed*

[Marcus Telcontar]

Sooo.... that's the secret to FORCE SPEED

COFFEEE AND LOTS OF IT!

[Mr Wednesdaydale]

My morning drink is a gulpers of Makers, because the best way to cure a morning hangover is to postpone it till the afternoon.

[DarthHERA]

I am a self-confessed 2 non-fat grande lattes per day dependant.

That doesnt include just regular coffees.

[Sanis Prent]

She has a coffee addiction. She walked a few city blocks to Starbucks, for crying out loud. That is sick.

[Seerrasseei Tsseerra]

lol, don't need coffee myself to wake up, sugar works if I have to wake up.......

[Mu Satach]

New research shows that healthy elderly people, with no signs of the brain disease, had consumed an average of three to four cups a day since the age of 25.

However, those with the debilitating illness drank, on average, just one cup of coffee each day.

THANKS MARCUS!

I have reason to up my dosage again!!!

:: does happy dance ::

[Live Wire]

my high school chemistry teacher will live forever if you use that forumla.

[Marcus Telcontar]

So would Helenias.

Me, I would suffer too much from insomnia

[DarthHERA]

First - stop L.A.

Second stop - Starbucks in L.A.

And yes, one cannot drink a Latte alone, so all you lot had one too! Fess up, Charley. You even went for machiato didnt you? Or was that LV?

[Marcus Telcontar]

Expain something me for a sec here folks....

Gloria Jean coffee I could understand. That is halk drinkable and comes in some quite amazing flavors

But Starbucks?

Your surely not talking about the woeful dishwater place that is just around the corner from me at work, that no one in their right mind goes to? Man, I hope it's a damn sight better in the USA, cause here it's awful :x

[Sanis Prent]

I had a macchiato...its true.

Starbucks here is fine. Its just monopolistic, that's all.

[ReaperFett]

They give out free samples over here some times :)

[Jedi Neo]

Coffie is the food of the Gods.
I use it to wake me up on Sunday mornings so I can go out to the Walmart Toy Department and get some work done.

[ReaperFett]

DRINK, not food ;)

[Wytchy Woman]

Coffee is what I drink in the mornings, two cups and lots of cream and sugar. My dad complained about the amount of sugar I use in coffee to my DH. Didn't do any good, DH uses more sugar than me. Cafe con leche is great. I have to make my own here, no fancy, smancy coffee cafes here. Use it sparingly and only when necessary; like when I have to clean the entire house for instance.
Being that I am from the true south, it is "sweet tea" for the rest of the day. Sweet tea is an art form here. A southern lady must learn early on how to prepare it if she wants to have any chance of gaining a husband. Tea is easier on the kidneys than soda and considering I drink about a gallon of it a day, my kidneys should be overjoyed.
That said, I have a new addiction - a little bottled concoction called "Mr. Green". I tastes like a blend of root beer and dr. pepper and has a healthy dose of ginseng in it. I actually feel half alive when I drink a coupla bottles of it.

[Sean Piett]

Coffee I love. A cup or two every day.

Cappuchino is good too. I make sure to have a cup thrice a week.


Mr. Green is great!

[Marcus Telcontar]

I dont get my wife sometimes. Her priority when looking for a job was that the place must be close to where she can get a good coffee. she thence spent more time telling me about the coffee at this little cafe in the city, then mentioned as an afterthought she got the job. Like, wouldnt you be more excited about a 10 grand pay jump?

[Wytchy Woman]

Finally, something someone agrees with me on! The only problem here is that I can only get Mr. Green in the 20 ounce bottles. I wonder if it will ever be available in 2 liters? Carrying a bunch of the little bottles home is a hassle.

[Wytchy Woman]

Speaking of southern fare, has anyone here ever tasted a potato jack? It is a southern specialty that we didn't have when I lived in the mountains. I had like my 3rd one today. They are out of this world! Getting the recipe tomorrow, gonna experiment with making it with my own special touches. Then I will cyber bake y'all some.

[Sean Piett]

Only in 20 oz bottles here too. Sobe never did do cans or 2 liters for their other drinks, so I dunno about Mr. Green..

[Wytchy Woman]

but Sobe does have one of those small, super-caffeinated (or something that gives you lots of pep) available here in a can. They are always in those real small cans - the super energy drinks I mean. I detest anything to drink coming in a can. Prefer the plastic, even better the glass bottles. Am I dating myself by reminiscing about sodas in bottles?

[Sean Piett]

Oh! Never seen it. Only Red Bull and Amped up here.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Am I dating myself by reminiscing about sodas in bottles?

If you were in Sydney, it would be the other way around. It's becoming harder to get drinks in a can, which personally much prefer.
