Care for some Caffeine?

[Paperback Writer]

Too bad the church doesn't agree with you, since cold tea can still get you in hot water.

In my view, it's only a matter of time before that changes. I don't care for ice Tea - it's probably an acquired taste. But what about a Starbuck's mocha frappuccino? It has chocolate in addition to coffee, it's iced not hot. Where to draw the line? So it's OK to have a caffeine spiked energy drink but not an ice tea snapple?

I drank iced tea every day of my life until I got baptized.

Yuck. That stuff sucks big time.

Like many things, you like what you were raised on. I love the taste. My mouth will still water if I think about it.

And further, the correction says "despite what was reported" as though NBC made the error. It was hardcore Mormon mom that made the statement.

NBC did report it, hardcore mom perpetuated it, then dad basically called bs saying he drinks dr pepper.

THAT WOULD REQUIRE A CONTRACT WITH PEPSI!

I expect this from YO but Waup.. Say it ain't so..

Yes! Coca-Cola makes a much better cola soft drink than Pepsi! It's way more delicious!

I can only drink Coke Lime or Vanilla.. The rest blows..

"Pepsi: For When There Isn't Coke."

"Do you really want to live in a world without Coke?"

"Pepsi: The Scrappy Doo of Soft Drinks.

You're probably right. I remember it as a question to hardcore mom but if they said it otherwise then I agree with your thought.

You mom must have had some unique talents.

Speaking of Central American roots, I have a daughter-in-law who is further south and has South American roots. Peru to be specific.

She is a wonderful DIL, wife and mother, although quite fiery. She and her family were converted when she was a teenager, but went inactive while here in the good ole USA.

Her roots also have a need for coffee, but also no sense of guilt in wearing a short skirt or heaven forbid a Bikini. She took some heat from some sisters in the ward and hasn't been to church since.

Is she odd or is the South American culture not so hung up on bare belly's?

I can confirm that in Brazil, women show more skin. (They are also quite enamored with pale skin and blue eyes. I lost track of how many times I got called "coisa linda" by random women during my two years.)

So it's OK to have a caffeine spiked energy drink but not an ice tea snapple?

Yes, I think it's all very clear and simple.

Elder do olhos azulados,
Dos seus bom genes,
A sua brancura
É mais que a gente
É a coisa mais linda
Que ela já viu passar

Iced tea is delish.

I just don't get why they dither on this. It reminds me of Neal Andersen's recent talk about having kids. The one where he said that it was up to the individuals to decide, but then all of his examples were about how not waiting makes you happy and waiting doesn't.

Go search caffeine on LDS.org. Every single hit is a cautionary tale about the dangers of caffeine. But lets be clear, we don't prohibit it!

I guess it really depends on which church leader's opinion you go with. I have been drinking iced green tea since I was a teenager. I like my caffeine organic.
