Coffee.
That is a word that has a whole lot of meaning. It can mean energy, staying awake, getting your work done, being sociable, and even more. For many (me included, until recently), it was a morning ritual.
Coffee means a whole lot to the folks in this country. It has for quite a long time (since the early 1800s, when we were unable to get tea…so we turned to coffee) and still does (we’re the #1 consumers in the world!)…
I actually rely on Diet Coke to get through the day. My caffeine habit started with my first 9 to 5 job, but back then I was drinking regular Coca-Cola. I switched to Diet as a compromise to slowly wean myself off soda altogether. I’ve tried switching to caffeine-free as a next step, but I can’t get through the day without my caffeine! Maybe I’ll try switching over to tea. Coffee is a little too strong for me.
I can’t stand coffee so don’t rely on it of course. I do love my hot chocolate though!
