Caffeine

I ran out of coffee on Sunday and found myself immediately planning on getting a fresh supply first thing Monday morning, which brought a caffeine addiction to my attention. So, I decided not to buy any more coffee and in fact not to consume any caffeine for a week or so. Here I am two days in and I’ve got a banging headache and feel pretty crap, which is strange considering I only usually have a coffee in the morning and perhaps a cup of tea in the afternoon.

I’m interested to see how this pans out, and how I get on post-withdrawal.

Today’s kitchen experience

The box of Tetley’s Tea bags in the work kitchen has the following message on it: “A cup of Tetley’s tea has less caffeine then a cup of ground or instant coffee, and that’s a fact!”. It’s a fact apparently. It’s as if they know that people will expect companies to lie to them, so they wanted to make it clear that this is probably actually true this time. Basically, anything without a “and that’s a fact” suffix is definitely a lie. Everything else just probably is.

Also, Green Tea can help prevent cancer, but it gives me bad breath (well, worse breath). So, I’ll live forever, but I’ll be alone.
