Pick your Poison: Caffeine edition

[Spider Jerusalem]

1. Cuban or Turkish coffee and Earl Grey tea.

EDIT: and dark-chocolate covered espresso beans. :9

Also, Bawls. (Guarana is good stuff.)

[ghostsofgiants]

2. Bawls

(Insert crude joke here.)

But since I can never find it, I usually drink Red Bull if I need a solid dose of caffiene.

[laheina]

4. What is that stuff? nt

[ghostsofgiants]

9. It's a guarana soda.

Highly caffienated.

[laheina]

12. I will have to check that out.

Is it yummy?

[ghostsofgiants]

15. Very.

I've been told it tastes like a Shirley Temple, but I've never tasted a Shirley Temple, so I can't confirm that.

[laheina]

16. iirc, A Shirley Temple

is Ginger Ale and Grenadine. I've never had one either, but I hear it tastes like cherry 7up. :shrug:

Thanks, I'll check it out.

But I *refuse* to say the name out loud.;)

[Jamastiene]

3. Dr Pepper n/t

[laheina]

5. Can I get it stong, in an IV drip to go, please? nt

[SmileyBoy]

6. Ahem...

[ghostsofgiants]

10. This man knows his caffiene.

[pokerfan]

7. In a soft drink...

As an espresso, café americano. Not because espresso is too strong by itself, it just doesn't last as long.

As coffee, black. No cream no sugar.




It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion,
It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed,
The hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning,
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

[unsavedtrash]

8. I like a little coffee with my chicory

[last_texas_dem]

11. Iced tea or Mountain Dew

That's about it for me. I'm generally more of a juice/ fruity, non-caffeinated soda kinda guy, but I've gotten to where I drink iced tea like water. A bad habit, but I guess tea's not quite as bad caffeine-wise as other caffeinated drinks. The Mountain Dew I should probably stay away from altogether, though...

[NMMNG]

13. Depending on my mood

A soy Latte or a soy Caramel Machiatto, perhaps with an extra shot of espresso. Hot or iced, always a Venti.

Mmmmmmmm

[Richard Steele]

14. I voted for cuban/espresso, but I am thinking of Turkish.

That's just good stuff!

[yellowdogintexas]

46. Turkish/Greek coffee is lovely, isn't it?

The only time my husband ever drinks coffee is when we eat at the local Egyptian place, and he always has Turkish Coffee.

[Cannikin]

17. I had to choose 'other' for coffee AND cola drinks

[tjwmason]

18. Espresso IS coffee - coffee IS caffeine.

It's that simple.

I do also drink tea (obviously), but that's not really a caffeine source in the same way.

[Minnesota Libra]

19. For me it's always Folgers dark roast and plenty of it too nt

[Cannikin]

26. I'm a Folgers man too

[Cobalt Violet]

20. 2 cups of Columbian, 1 cup of Green Tea per day.

Maybe I should drink more Green Tea.

[Mutley]

21. The peppermint mocha at starbucks.

Oh it's soooo goooood.

[aQuArius]

22. Jamaican Blue Mountain....

bought whole bean from Costco. It is fabulous coffee for only $9.99 for a 2lb bag! :donut:

[bugslsu9]

23. Community Coffee

Medium Roast. I have it shipped from Louisiana to Wisconsin so I get good coffee every morning.

[Endangered Specie]

24. Orange Juice...

I know it doesn't have caffeine, but since I stopped drinking caffinated beverages, a couple rounds of OJ is enough to get ye ol engine started in the morning.

[CatholicEdHead]

25. Mountain Dew of all non-diet and non-caffeine free types

Regular, Code Red, Pitch Black, Livewire.

[flvegan]

27. Ephedra and water.

Never much cared for coffee.

[flamingyouth]

28. Latte

But not from Starbucks. :puke:

[Squeech]

29. I found out

how to get fresh coffee airlifted from Brazil, from a plantation in Pernambuco. It's very delicions.

[grateful581]

30. yerba mate

I love this stuff.
It wakes me up and it is really healthy.

[DBoon]

31. Yes!

Celestial Seasonings had a tea called morning thunder". It was a mix of black tea and mate. It would definitely perk you up.

[Redneck Socialist]

40. With the power of a hundred charging buffalo!

That was the tag line that used to be on the box. I love that stuff!

[jberryhill]

45. I bought a Mate in Argentina

Virtually identical to yours, after spending a few days in Mar Del Plata seeing every living thing sucking out of one of those.

I bought a couple of pounds of yerba, and got lessons from anyone and everyone on their preferred technique.

With sugar, without sugar, second pouring of hot water... it doesn't matter - it still tastes like hay.

Everybody told me, whatever you do, don't smoke the yerba.

I've got half a mind to try smoking it, because as a drink, I can go suck on hay without importing it from Argentina.

[LynzM]

32. German coffee...

Barring that, (flame me now ;)) Dunkin' Donuts French Vanilla. I know, I have weird tastes!

[politicat]

34. What is German Coffee?

Is it anything like British white coffee, with condensed milk and enough sugar to put you in a diabetic coma?

[LynzM]

37. Oh hells no

It's strong, with just a little bit of sugar. But the coffee itself is good enough that you just need a little bit of sugar. We used to drink Tschibo a lot when we lived there, which is a bit like Starbucks here (big chain, lots of carp to buy in the store, etc), but I'd take that over Starbucks any day!

[Redneck Socialist]

42. Carp?

"Can I get a medium dark roast and a carp to go please?"

:rofl:

For some reason that just tickles the hell out of my funny bone.

[LynzM]

48. LOL, oops!

That's a holdover from a board I'm on where someone mistyped it once, and it stuck, for good... we even have some carp emoticons on that board! :)

"Carp to go" :rofl: Nice!

[sakabatou]

33. Homemade cappacino

[amitten]

35. DUNKIN' DONUTS. 'Nuff said. n/t

[deadparrot]

36. Fresca. nt

[DinahMoeHum]

38. Fair trade and organic whatever.

:9

[maveric]

39. Kona baby!

[Redneck Socialist]

41. French, Italian, Turkish

The darkest roast I can get my hands on. With lots of sugar.

[Pushed To The Left]

43. Uptime!

I have become pretty addicted to Uptime pills throughout the years, but I don't take nearly as much as I used to.

[NYdemocrat089]

44. Tea

I just have to be careful when drinking it. If I drink it too late I end up not being able to sleep.

[datsafact]

47. French Market Chicory

[BrewerJohn]

49. French Roast, but more importantly, Fresh Roasted

If you've ever been in a coffee shop that roasts on-premises, you know what
I mean. NOTHING better. Some of my friends have been getting into home
roasting, and I may have to go that way myself.

[njdemocrat106]

50. Good ol' Coca-Cola

Coke kicks Pepsi's ass :).
