Caffeine in LES. How do we get this to happen? TH, in response to the spring

Meh. Caffeine headaches have become part of the climate for me now.

Can't you skip caffeine for 3 hours? Seems so insignificant even to me.

No. Caffeine free drinks are nasty.

Should have been more clear: caffeine free Coke and Diet Coke are gross.

That's called "addiction".
Skysthelimit

Not even close. Mormons have a very skewed definition of addiction
Dissenter

That's a gross generalization. Many people don't understand addiction

That is a generalization as well.

Well, if that's the line of reasoning, just don't sell soda at all.

No t the same line of reasoning. One requores a change. The other doesn't.

Have you considered why the choice was originally made?

But there is no church rule against caffeine. It's just BYU's rule. I can easily pull some

To be fair, it isn't even a rule at BYU. You can drink caffeine all you want.

True. I just find it ironic that they would sell one form of caffeine and not the other.
