If you keep beating the addiction on a regular basis, you're still addicted.

Yeah, okay.

Well if I've learned anything from all the addicts I've met you're supposed to feel some sort of craving or need when you don't get your fix. I use Pepsi on a regular basis in order to get more work done because I'm impatient, but there's no feeling of need for the caffine or its effects once the deprivation phase passes; only my need to write.

Maybe that's just me.

I've had timbits only once in my life. It was glorious.

Also, Dunkin Donuts coffee or GTFO.

McDonald's supposedly switched to 100% Arabica which is probably why it tastes better.

I still think it tastes like ass, personally. I think Maxwell House is probably the "best" coffee, though I don't drink it a lot.

I think the best coffee I had was some from Sumatra that the coffee company had forgotten about under a pile of bat shit, yeah I think it was bat shit.

See, coffee tastes better the worse the conditions of its aging were. It wasn't until I sipped that heavenly ambrosia did I know that there WERE kinds of coffee that you could drink just for good taste, as opposed to energy boosts/habit/culture/with enough condiments to turn to it to candy.

So that coffee that is literally cat shit is indeed the best tasting shit ever? (It wasn't under bat shit, it is cat shit).

Didn't we have a thread praising Starbucks for something a while back?

I will never drink their regular coffee. But their espresso drinks are fairly good.

While I prefer DD coffee, their lattes and the like are very sub-par here.

Of course if I really wanted to earn my coffee/espresso cred I would be at the local coffee shop, instead.

Coffee? What are you philistines talking about *sips his freshly brewed Earl Grey*

Not how it works, actually.

You can totally quit smoking more than once, if you quit, let it get out of your system entirely, cease having cravings for it, and then at some later point get offered a cigarette while drinking/after sex/inwhateversituationthiswouldseemlikeagoodidea and then you're addicted again.

Caffeine is worse that way 'cause it's like, "Well I beat the addiction, removed my cravings and feelings of sluggishness when I don't have it. Haven't had caffeine for months. But now someone else has done the shopping and it's either soda or water and fuck. Welp, here we go again."
