Coke allowed, dining services now debating a "sin tax" on caffeinated beverages.

There IS demand.

Hard stuff to be sold at games to soften blow of on-field performance.

Caffeine now, beards and staches next on rebels' radar.

In other news: BYU-Idaho reaffirms its commitment to a drug-free campus. Reminds students that they are above such

This would be funnier if it were not so close to true

jkccoug

9/21/17 8:26am

Isn't that what makes jokes funny?

byujacob

9/21/17 9:03am

Yeah. But I am genuinely pained by the BYUI approach because it emphasizes all

I went to BYU-I and I think you are completely wrong, there were things that

Helm Hammerhand

I don't mean I hate everything about the "I." I love the school in many respects

jkccoug

9/21/17 11:28am

I've only heard that sentiment from BYU alumni, never from BYUI.

BigEasyCougar

9/21/17 1:31pm

Yep, the only time I heard it at BYUI was in jest.

Metallicat

9/21/17 1:33pm

I heard it 3-4 weeks ago at the CES college firesides

jkccoug

9/21/17 1:48pm

Must be the odd crowd you associate with 😉

BigEasyCougar

9/21/17 3:35pm

I find those who didn't go there are more bothered than those who did. I loved

IronPotato

I agree.

Did they still talk about "the spirit of rick"?

conetah

Ha! The spirit of Ricks!

Helm Hammerhand

9/22/17 11:36am

This is kind of amazing.

RugbyCoug

9/21/17 8:13am

It really is. This is such a major shift in the "culture" of the church

9/21/17 8:15am

I have an early morning seminary student who loves to argue with other students

WhiteKnight

It's about time! Many other cultural items remain

Is this for real?

BRONCOUGAR

I would never lie to you.

9/21/17 8:14am

Can't be, there just isn't any demand.

I buy caffeinated soda regularly but don't really care that I can't get it on campus. I do hate trying to explain to

Rhino84

9/21/17 8:14am

Haha they have a recursive health program called EAT: Eat, Act, Think.

supertux

9/21/17 8:15am

Well calling it Think, Eat, Act might give the wrong idea with its acronym

Mike Honcho

9/21/17 8:17am

I can't wait to hear from Michelle Peralta 2.0 on this

9/21/17 8:15am

They still stand by the "no demand" story:

supertux

9/21/17 8:16am

How do you believe members who adhere to no caffeine will react? Could be funny.

SouthernBlueBlood

9/21/17 8:16am

I don't drink caffeine and I don't have any issue with it.

IronPotato

9/21/17 11:02pm

I rarely visit Utah, much less Provo, and this makes me happy.

Metallicat

9/21/17 8:17am

So does BYU get a special blue label coke - like yewts got red for pepsi? Or are we more secure than that? the latter

Desert Rat

9/21/17 8:17am

Makes me wonder if the "no demand" comment may have been accurate... he says that they rarely received requests

SuperTank

9/21/17 8:18am

There can be a strong "don't steady the ark" element at BYU.

SandYFan

9/21/17 8:37am

Yes, but will the cans be blue?

valcorger

9/21/17 8:18am

Doesn't matter unless they have Dr Pepper and not Pibb

fattycoug

9/21/17 8:18am

In terms of not looking like super weirdos, it matters.

9/21/17 8:20am

It's a useless move unless there's Dr Pepper. It means nothing without DP

fattycoug

9/21/17 8:27am

There is no demand for DP.

I assume they were very deliberate to not say it was approved by the Board of Trustees even though it probably was.

Rhino84

What a shame. Still no Dr. Pepper?

That is hilarious. I'd never heard of it.

Thanks, good insight into the decision making.

who would have thunk. I would have guess BYU to B12 before BYU added coke

JONBOY

9/21/17 8:47am

The real question is whether caffeine will improve our on-field performance

panguitch

9/21/17 9:18am

Next stop, beards! Chooo choooooooo!

No Mountain Dew?

Evil Empire

9/21/17 1:59pm

Mountain Dew is a Pepsi product. Mellow Yellow probably is on campus.

9/21/17 2:09pm

Yeah I know that, I just think they'll make more money selling Mtn Dew

Evil Empire

9/21/17 5:54pm

A friend of mine posted a photo with Mellow Yellow on campus yesterday.

I wonder who's the sales rep from Coke who landed BYU, big commissions!
