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

before but have been getting more and more. Perhaps people just accepted that BYU didn't sell caffeinated beverages before and so people didn't make actual requests (e-mails, letters, huge banners, etc) for them. So maybe the "no demand" aspect was true... we all saw that people wanted it, but maybe people were really not requesting it. I know I never did when I was at BYU. And I wasn't some anti-caffeiner.

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

Isn't that what makes jokes funny?

byujacob

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

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

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

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

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

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

Rhino84

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

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.

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

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

Metallicat

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

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

SandYFan

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.

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

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