Has Sunkist always had caffeine in it?? I'm feeling extremely disillusioned with my life soda choices now...

because it is literally coke's mountain dew
not figuratively...

IS what I was originally going to type but then i realized, holy shit
>it's figuratively coke's mountain dew
actually makes a lot more sense

sorry anon, you're right and >>5450450
is a subnormal degenerate

>>	Anonymous Tue May 20 05:42:32 2014 No.5451300 >>5451293 "figuratively" isn't appropriate either. "basically" would work better in this case. "literally" is just a fucking filler word nowadays. pisses me right off.

>>5451311
yes but... ironically, you're taking that too literally.

in the context , "figuratively" doesn't really fit. it sounds odd, because the rhetoric is comparing sunkist and mountain dew and offering that they are basically the same.

"figuratively" is more suited to explain symbols or metaphors, or idioms (figurative language).

it's all about context. technically you could use "figuratively" there but it is a bit unnatural.

>>	Day12 Tue May 20 06:15:10 2014 No.5451364 >>5450358 yup! It always did. Its the only orange soda i remember that had it. Fanta doesnt have caffeine. cactus cooler is the best.

I never understood how people got hooked on caffeine. I drank absolutely nothing but mountain dew for 3 years and then stopped cold turkey for about 4 months and noticed 0 difference. I also never noticed any effect of caffeine at any point, though i wish i could so i could stay up and study sometimes.

most people have a life, so if you're feeling groggy later in the day and it stacks up and makes your weekends like hangovers where you just sleep the entire time...

obviously if you're a fucking neckbeard or child and you sit on Xbox Live no matter what kind of tumors are growing on you... then you would notice no difference.

When i drank 3 cokes a day, i got jittery by lunch and had a crash by 3pm, then had to re-dose and then couldn't go back to sleep.

Cause i think of shit when im awake. Every minute of every day im trying to improve myself, get to to the next step.

You're just a fucking loser and .... why the fuck were you drinking Mountain Dew in the first place? fucking disgusting. you sound like some guy saying "yeah i sucked dick for crack for 12 years and it didnt affect me"

xcept those dick shaped holes in your teeth

Addiction is apparently genetic.

Personally I was the same way with mountain dew and ended up throwing up, but then was fine. I did however notice a huge difference in my productivity and focus after quitting mountain dew and other sodas for a while

>I also never noticed any effect of caffeine at any point
I don't understand this though. why would anyone drink it if it never made you feel good.

>>	Day12 Tue May 20 06:22:57 2014 No.5451381 >>5451377 > I don't understand this though. why would anyone drink it if it never made you feel good. cause hes a retard. 1,000 x 0 is still 0. He just DID THE DEW! DO THE DEW!!! Wooh! Rock on ! USA! USA!

>>	Anonymous Tue May 20 06:27:32 2014 No.5451386 how are you bitches getting your caffeine fix from soda? there is like half as much caffeine in a serving of soda as a cup of coffee. it's like trying to drink beer instead of liquor to get wasted.

Wow, someone is really bitter. I actually am in the climbing club, fencing club, yoga club, and have an active social life. Besides that believe it or not ive never had a cavity. Maybe its because i actually brush my teeth. I drank mountain dew because it was fucking delicious and i have trouble maintaining weight so i figured since pop has lots of calories it could only help. Learn to discuss things in a civil manner like adults do.
>>5451374
Ah, that sounds like it could be a reason. I usually get enough sleep.

That is why i got it actually. I got really depressed after a breakup with my ex and got some from a buddy. It totally made it disappear and so i went to a doctor to get a script. Though technically its for adhd, which i believe i have to an extent as well.

It actually is. there's science behind it.

addicts probably use it as a bullshit excuse like fat people use, but there is science out there saying a genetic predisposition to experience withdrawal, tolerance, and addiction to stuff more.

Like there's a ton of stuff written on this, for hundreds of years we've known this.

hahahahahaha no. There are genes that predispose to impulsivity, which tends to lead to criminality and addiction. No gene (or group) has been found which is the root cause of addiction vulnerability. That's lifestyle choice and shitty family modeling. Get out.
