Diet? DIET!?! Full fat drinks only. ESPRESSO coffee, Coke, Dr Peppers and I sometimes have Lucozade for 'medical reasons'. But NEVER EVER diet shyte!

I LOOOVE an uber-cold Coke in the 12-ounce can. Hard to find "in the wild" these days. As long as I am not forced to buy caffeine free crap, I'm okay. I don't think we have Lucozade in the US, but I live where things are about 15 years behind the times. :)
Blargity, blargity.

Porridge done, coffee maker has stopped burbling, computer on, 150 emails from last night freshly baked and ready to be dealt withanswered, and so on to coffee assembly phase: sugar, coffee, milk. Except the coffee looks a little thin. Thin as in, it's just hot water. Maybe adding some grinds to the filter would help improve the flavour :doh:

One morning in the army I rushed to the lavatory with the rest of the herd, found a free sink and start washing my teeth in a hurry. The toothpaste tasted awful but awful things are standard for the army, then I shaved and left. It wasn’t before my face started burning when I realize I’ve washed my teeth with the shaving cream and shaved with the toothpaste.

It is an 'Energy Drink[^]' and is pretty popular here. It is a good way of getting a quick sugar rush. :-D

When home, we have a very good system. Mrs Wife usually rises before me and goes and puts the kettle on for her tea and switches on the coffee machine. I then have 5 minutes to get up and find the coffee. I only drink espresso and so have to wait for the water to heat up to make a coffee. I make my coffee, then start getting breakfast ready. By the time we have breakfast I have my second coffee and the world swims into order.

In my house, Mrs. Wife expects the coffee maker to be set up with her recipe when she arises, long after I have left for the mines. She only needs to press a single button to start the brew. If said coffee maker is not, in fact, set up properly, I will be called. Several things, none of them complimentary.

Most programmers I know in the US prefer either 1)Mountain Dew, 2) Diet Mt. Dew, 3)Diet Coke, 4)Diet Red Bull. Coffee is for those in the accounting department. :-D
I know I have to update this. Had to delete all previous posts to my blog because of husband. Long story. NO you don't want to know.
Au contraire, mon cher. Traditionalists, such as myself, prefer coffee first thing in the morning. Caffeinated corn syrup is best reserved for lunch and the afternoon. The accounting department doesn't drink coffee. They go to Starbucks™ and buy the no-fat-half-caff-latte-with-sea-salt-and-a-twist-of-lemon, or whatever the fashion is that day. That ain't coffee. Real coffee has a pH less than 2.5 and could be used to jump start a nuclear reactor.

I assume it's like Red Bull, but I think that is pretty ubiquitous across major countries. I'm still trying to convince people in my area that vinegar and salt crisps are not a product of the devil.
Eventually.
It's a sweet fruit drink, I like it anyway and it's a good wake up.

I'm starting to wonder how the Army packages their toiletries. My husband will use my shaving cream when he runs out of his, but I've never heard of someone using shaving cream on their teeth!
Blargh.
Well, if you have 10 minutes to wash, shave and be outside in a full metal gear, everything is possible. :-D
