Nectar of the Gods
Something's been troubling me for a long time, and it has nothing to do with my family, friends, co-workers (as it 'twere), or anything like that. I am the first to admit that I have an addiction--I am addicted to caffeine, specifically in the form of Pepsi and other cola products. But as I look at the empty bottle in the garbage can next to me, I have to wonder--how in the hell can I drink something like that?
I mean, you have to wonder that yourself. It's brown, and made from syrup and things like that, and is pretty much a sugar product. The flavouring comes from the sugar, cola beans, and syrupy stuff, amongst other miniscule things. And that's another thing--drinking something made of beans. I mean, coffee's the same way. Beans are for eating and making pictures, not for drinking.
I say that this causes me to think, but I know I'll keep right on drinking the stuff. Hell, if I don't, I'll suffer withdrawl and will not be the best person to be around, and I don't want to do that to anyone. Until something happens to my stomach, kidneys, or whatever else caffeine and soda affects in your body, it's Pepsi all the way.
