  1. You're the best, Aikar. Your hard work and sacrifice is greatly appreciated. You may have to treat yourself to Starbucks this morning or hit the Mountain Dew.

  10. Ewww, coffee is worse! :p

    Drink cold tea. Not iced tea. Tea that's been left to sit for 30 minutes or so. #SoMuchBetterThanCoffee

  13. I like tea and coffee...but coffee actually has a TON of health benefits. You won't get them from any starbucks drinks though, because they do coffee wrong. They went on record a few years back admitting they burn their coffee beans on purpose to get their 'unique starbucks flavor'...which also kills off the benefits.
  14. Tea has health benefits too :p I don't drink Starbucks tea or coffee, just because I have both coffee and tea in my house.

    British person necessities, everyone...

  15. Oh yeah tea totally does. Like I said, I enjoy both coffee and tea. A lot of people don't know about benefits in coffee though, so just wanted to throw that out there.

    I didn't know if your "coffee is worse" statement was referring to being less healthy than soda or not, lol, so just wanted to give that bit of information.
  16. don't be hating on my coffee.

    I can semi drink unsweet tea now, but I drink 99% water only now. Coffee is to fill some stronger caffeine needs, tea doesn't have enough.
  17. Over the last 4 years, i've been drinking 3 cups of tea a day. As you can imagine, caffeine doesn't work on me any longer :p
    I was referring to the taste :p
  18. Sweet tea is the bane of my tongue. I can't drink tea unless its unsweetened, you ruin the flavor with all that sugar and milk

  19. Unless it's Chai. :D

    Anyways, thanks a lot for all your efforts to restore the forums intact, Aikar. :)
  20. I'm from the south, never heard of milk in tea, unless you meant milk in coffee =P
