exactly. It's the same in russian and a few other slavic languages, too. The question is: which language is "decaf" taken from [edit]apart from english, of course[/edit]? :rolleyes:

Ok. I'll bite. Decaf is a misspelling of "decof", short for decoffeed. It means they take out all the coffee and leave you with coloured water. I'm not sure why the misspelling has stuck :)

Ah damn. I forgot to add the "I am trying a highly intellectual joke now, please cover your eyes" icon.

There won't be a world cup. I snuck in and I stole it while nobody was watching. I'm sitting at my computer now and the world cup is filled with decaf Chai Tea and I'm sipping away as I enjoy the thoughts of all the panic I just caused. People will have to go home now. No posts on message boards. No more making fun of France. People will just have to quietly go away. I'll never give it back again. It's mine. So I guess I won. :-D

I don't actually like Tea, but this blend of "stuff" is actually pretty decent. A little too sweet to drink on a daily basis for my tastes but every once and a while it is a nice break. I’m sure Starbucks / Caribou Coffee add way more sugar than what is really needed.

Same here, I dont like to have tea at all. Lots of coffee is what I like. I remmember having cocoa tea once and that tasted really nice, but I havent been able to get that mix in any store.

Give that Chia stuff a try, it’s different. I don’t know what I would do without my pot of coffee a night…

Its not like hot choclate. It tastes lot like tea but with a sweatened flavour and you can feel the taste of cocoa as you sip it in.

Are you sure? I thought decaf comes from from decaffeinated, which means no caffeine in the coffe. Oh wait, it's just a joke, is it? :laugh: *DOH*:-O "You are special, but so is everybody else." "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner" - Ross Edbert Sydney, Australia
