Tea could suck a fuck, but for its caffeine. Except iced tea, which is OK. And sometimes chamomile and peppermint "tea," but also iced.

Then I've got this little "cup at a time" coffee maker, it's got a permanent filter and you actually put your mug under the drip. The coffee is fine but it's messy and, well, it only makes a cup at a time.

Diet Coke tastes like emptiness.

Diet Coke in a can, on the point of freezing is like drinking from the teat of a goddess.

Tea is the world's beverage. I like it a lot. I also like licorice, caring for dogs, waking up early, mangos and walks on the beach of moderate length.

Indeed. There's something hideously provincial in not liking tea.
That coke article is interesting. I didn't know all that stuff.

The Cult of Tab.
I had a boss who was a Diet Coke fanatic, as in several empty lipstick-stained cans littered around her office at any given time.

also, i love overlong, pointless walks on the beach and i miss having an ocean in wintertime to take those walks on.

I read that as "ocean in wartime" and didn't even think that was weird.

That said, I love a fine cuppa tea, especially Sleepytime with honey.
John, would you say you are more into downers than uppers? Do you ever drink regular Coke?

Note: I don't hate tea in the least. In fact, I quite like it, as the drawer full of various kinds of bagged, loose, herbal, and caffeinated tea in our kitchen and the ownership of my very own proper tea pot demonstrates. I just vastly prefer coffee. Coffee is a magical drink.
― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link
OTM.
― JordanC (JordanC), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:57 (seventeen years ago) link
This is indeed true.
But boy, bad coffee is *really* bad. Bad tea is just kinda flat or tinny tasting, but bad coffee... woo. Ashtrays and assholes.
― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 27 November 2006 17:57 (seventeen years ago) link
No, I miss coffee terribly. I *loved* the mental/creative stimulation it provided.
My antipathy for Diet Coke is mostly the empty metallic taste. Regular Coke is too syrupy. But I can't drink either, so the point is moot.

Also, I prefer the taste of really good coffee to tea. Which is why I drink ROASTAROMA tea every morning.

Due to some health issues, I went without caffeine for two years straight. I lost a lot of weight that way. Also, I developed a taste for Sprite.
