It's the gateway to greater sin.

No, if I'm spending $7 on a drink, it should be the one I want. Otherwise I'm

Hopefully they don't make a big deal about it. Just start selling normal sodas

So weird that it's 2015 and BYU doesnt sell Diet Coke.

mulletino

Why? I have no problem with it...Hate that I have so few options at work

Fdnman

Incredible that the food services people can't see how silly this makes BYU look

ArcticKat

2/11/15 12:30am

Somehow I don't think this is food services's call

Extra Biscuits

2/11/15 8:38am

BYU was going to start selling them earlier UNTIL the FB group made a big deal

runnincoug

2/11/15 7:10am

oh.. so it's about control?

jota

2/11/15 8:26am

That is the most ridiculous thing I've read in a long time

Blue Cougar

2/11/15 10:05am

BYU/Church does not respond to media-frenzied pushing. That was the problem

runnincoug

2/11/15 11:45am

This mindset is the problem. If BYU had simply and quietly started selling

ArcticKat

2/11/15 1:00pm

I agree, but it goes both ways. Also don't run to the NYTimes when you have a

runnincoug

I agree but BYU and the church need not overreact to every Facebook post.

Maybe some of the fans if caffeinated will show some emotion and show some life

Thanks BYU for keeping us safe!

Blue Cougar

Or soda, or donuts, candy, cougar tails, hot chocolate, ice cream, French fries

ArcticKat

2/11/15 10:13am

Honestly the whole "no caffeine" thing is just dumb.

Singcat

2/11/15 8:41am

What's crazy is the church has come out and said:

WHO DEY

2/11/15 9:15am

I think you are misquoting someone. They have not come out and said that.

cougrfan70

2/11/15 9:43am

From LDS.org

Yeah, "chronic abuse" of pretty much

Members of the church want the Church to come out and make a definitive

From the source you linked...

cougrfan70

2/12/15 8:16am

Either ban cheeseburgers too or neither. Both are habit forming, bad for you,

Extra Biscuits

2/12/15 9:14am

Exactly!

Blue Cougar

2/12/15 9:27am

Haven't judged anyone. Point out where I said anything

cougrfan70

2/12/15 9:50am

No, I think your quotes pointed out that the leaders don't call caffeine healthy

Extra Biscuits

2/12/15 10:38am

Really? Cheeseburgers may habit forming, but not more than any other food is.

thecelloguy

2/12/15 10:05am

Not all addictions are manifested by headaches. How about sugar? Should we ban

Extra Biscuits

2/12/15 10:32am

There's a whole movie about it! Check it out if you want:

WHO DEY

2/12/15 2:00pm

eh, nobody gets headaches from not eating cheeseburgers

runnincoug

2/12/15 10:17am

But burgers might cause a lot of you overweight CBers' wives to get headaches!

Blue Cougar

2/12/15 10:31am

So only those addictions that cause headaches are against the WoW?

Extra Biscuits

2/12/15 10:33am

obviously one of these things is more addictive than the other.

runnincoug

2/12/15 10:47am

There have been plenty of studies that have shown differently.

thecelloguy

2/11/15 9:21am

And just because it doesn't violate the WoW doesn't mean it's still a mild drug

runnincoug

2/11/15 9:25am

I'm not advocating that we drink it like water.

WHO DEY

2/11/15 9:30am

Yeah, don't drink too much water, either.

Snipe

2/11/15 10:39am

This is a good point, it is definitely bad for you..

lilpenny

2/11/15 2:24pm

I have seen the impact high caffeinated drinks have on kids and teens...no thx

Fdnman

2/11/15 9:24am

If that is your argument then ban all high-fructose drinks because it's all bad

ArcticKat

2/11/15 10:08am

No ice cream for anyone! Especially you Jimmy!

I think drinking soda generally is dumb, so I just stay out of this debate

What's dumb is justifying the partaking of one bad substance because it isn't

I'm not at all worried about caffeinated sodas

BYU loves to embarrass itself with this stupid stuff!

Blue Cougar

2/11/15 10:29am

Hopefully mild barley drinks are next.

It's kind of a silly rule I guess. But then again it's sad to watch people who

BYU isn't gaurding against anything. According to them "there's no demand."

Metallicat

It is sad when the head of PR at BYU lies like that. I expect more from BYU.
