Are you guys addicted to anything? I have developed a fantastic addiction to coca cola. I drink it with breakfast, lunch, and late nights at the bar. Of course I realize its ‘bad’ but its so hard to give up on that heavenly sweet/slightly bitter, fizzy nectar.
I know I have a problem because my assistant only buys coke on a weekly basis.
Thats a disappointment - the thread titles "Coke Addiction" and just when you jump in for all the fun and confessions, turns out its Coca Cola.
If its any consolation, Coke is called Coke because it really used to contain Coke, i.e. Cocaine.
The chemist who came up with the formula was a war veteran and back in those days soldiers took heavy doses of these drugs to subdue pain. He wanted to reduce his dependency on more potent drugs so he thought he'd make a tonic with a lighter buzz instead. Coke as it was distributed in the late 19th century and early 20th century really did contain Cocaine, until much later it came clean and replaced it with Caffeine.
