Coke makes a great cleaner, too. You can use it to get burnt gunk off pans, or blood off cement, and to scrub toilets. Still sound appetizing?

I think the carbonation and (as mentioned) sugar and artificial sweeteners are just as bad for you as the caffeine. And the acidity of soft drinks will erode the enamel on your teeth.

On the other hand, chocolate, I’m pretty sure, has medicinal properties. I know it always makes me feel better…

I saw this post over on MMB and stopped by. That was really interesting, and for me, very timely. I got on caffeine for the first time in my life 3 years ago when a new baby decided sleep deprived parents were funny. Once on it, I have had a really hard time going off and realized that I needed it to too much. I’ve been off for a week and am feeling much healthier.

Exactly what *is* a nocturnal freak? I need to know if I have them.

And, are you supposed to lick the caffeinated soap?? That’s the perfect way to get your potty-mouthed children good and hyper.

Thanks for the comment on my blog!

The only headache medicine that works for me is Excedrine.

I gave up caffeine about 9 months ago, after having my first panic attack. Caffeine and anxiety are heavily linked. I started drinking it a bit again, in the past month, and last week, started having racing heart beats.

There might be something to that whole Word of Wisdom thing, I guess. Who knew?

My mother always kept caffeine in the house for miagranes. That was the only time it was drunk growing up. My husband, however, should just get his diet coke in an IV, it would be easier that way.

Thanks, Jennifer, it will make me feel better for the next time I grab a handful.

I’m not a soda drinker, but I am a chocoholic!! Big time!! At times of major melt down, I will go grab a big handful of chocolate chips. (Like when the kids pour a whole box of rice krispies on the floor.) I also keep dark chocolate chips in my closet, and other such candy.

I am not a fan of caffeinated drinks. They make me sleepy. Yes, I am aware that is opposite of what they are supposed to do, but what can I say?

My husband, on the other hand, would love a Diet Pepsi IV. Maybe I can get him one for his birthday!

I’ve actually never had a caffeinated drink before. Crazy right?
But I get plenty of it from chocolate! That’s for sure!
