Rather generally, heh, I’m going to talk about the world’s most popular drug. Caffeine. I just don’t get it. It is a drug, a stimulant. You can drink too much caffeine and die. Some say too much of anything isn’t good, but wait, this is a drug, right? Yes, it is. So it doesn’t matter if I can die if I drink too much water – that’s not classified as a drug.

In fact, I’m sure all of the people who may read my blog post here are familiar with Coke, or the classic name, Coca-Cola. Kids these days think Coke Classic was a product that was always named Coke and got the Classic when the kiddie flavors came out.

You may or may not be aware that caffeine replaced Cocaine in Coca-Cola. Hey, no offense to you Coca-Cola, this isn’t that kind of post. I’m a Pepsi user myself, but I drink your product from time to time. But still, I know you want to get the Coca to go away.

Let’s forget about oil and free energy for a moment. Let us forget cigarettes and the stranglehold over the herbs of the world – all in the name of preserving market space for pharmaceuticals. Let’s just look at caffeine. Just one little peek. And ask why are you selling drugs to our kids? Why are you pushing those in the grocery and arresting our loved ones for others?

Caffeine replaced Cocaine when you made that illegal. Anyone will tell you from back in the day: “Don’t ever do that stuff these days, it’s not clean like it was yada” so I’m not advocating the abuse of cocaine whatsoever. The point is that the replacement goes into the bottles of some babies who might not have the wisest most experienced teenage mother in the world. lol.

McDonald’s from day one – possessively. And what do they serve there? You never heard Fries-and-a-Coke? I need mah Fries and a Coke. Want that Happy Meal with a Coke? This isn’t about Coke, though, if it was I’d also be talking about coffee and on the subject of soda I would be a prick to call out Coke and not hit Jolt first.

Caffeine is legal, beverage makers operate within the boundaries of the laws I’m allowed to talk about and vote on. Today I wanted to talk a little bit about that. Because there it is – right there – Pepsi and Coke – Blue and Red – the caffeine dealers in the marketing hustle. An expensive reformatting of the almighty pep.

“The Man’s” replacement for cocaine? WTF? Opinions? Have I been too vague, should I write more? Where should I go next when I talk about this stuff? This is where it’s on you when I’m generally speaking, speaking generally.
