No Coffee Zone
I don’t like coffee. I don’t like anything coffee flavored. I don’t even like mocha, which is half coffee, half chocolate - and I am a huge chocoholic. Therefore, when I wake up in the morning and start stumbling around, all I have is juice to drink. After I fall asleep standing up in the shower, as nearly happened this morning, I find myself in a big hurry to get to work so I can get myself an o-so-healthy diet cola so I can finally get my hands on some caffeine. This morning, I had an idea for a great product - caffeinated fruit juice. They make juices with vitamins and calcium and all sorts of other stuff, so why not caffeine? Then I wouldn’t need to resort to diet soda. Seriously, what beverage options are there for us who need caffeine? Coffee, tea, soda, and those jet fuel drinks. Soda’s the only one I really like out of all those. So come on, juice seller people. Put some caffeine in the stuff so picky people like me can stay awake in the morning!
Quick - patent your idea. Being a coffee person I probably would not have thought of it, but it’s brilliant. They have calcium-fortified OJ now, so why not caffeine-fortified OJ as well?
I should totally do that. It sucks having soda so early in the morning for the caffeine, and I thought of that as I was looking at some calcium and/or vitamin fortified juice. I mean, everything else is so loaded with caffeine, they might as well do it to something with some sort of nutritional value to it.
