forgo daily

I ran across an article or two talking about caffeine. It says that caffeine is added to soda (or pop as I call it) purely to create an addiction that keeps people drinking. Soda makers claim it’s added for flavor, which the study says is what cigarette makers used to say about nicotine. Anyway, my interest was peaked as I read it, as I do drink about a pop a day. But when I was done reading, I didn’t think too much of it. Today, I had a root beer soda pop. Towards the end of the day I was really anxious and unable to focus. I looked at the can, and it was caffeine free. “Egads!?” I thought, “Could I be hooked on caffeine?” So, I’ve decided to lay off of Captain Caffeine for a while; perhaps you should too? He’s a bastard anyway.
