Who's going to 7-11??

I am addicted to drinking. No, I am not an alcoholic, though sometimes I think that would be easier than being fat. At least you get a 12 step program and you don’t need alcohol to survive. It sucks to be addicted to something that you need to survive. If only I could quit food cold turkey! But no my drinking addiction involves a well known little drug called caffeine. I drink Baskin Robbins Cappuccino Blast (which is basically a coffee milkshake) for breakfast. If for some reason there is a long line at the Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins I go to Starbucks and get a Java Chip Frappuccino. In Ohio I like Rico Latte and in Bakersfield I liked Supreme Bean, Java Detour, Dagny’s, and that one that used to be in a house before the neighbors complained too much about the noise the Bakersfield youth were making as they hung out all over the lawn. Oh Java Jazz.

In the soda department, I am a Coke girl. I love coke and I always will. I intend to never give it up. I would rather ride through a desert on a horse with no name and nothing to drink, than drink a Pepsi. Yuck, the devils drink.

I can’t get into diet coke no matter how hard I try. Coke is trying to make it easy on me though by giving me all those choices. Diet Coke, Diet Coke with Splenda, Coke Zero, Diet Coke with lime, 50/50 Coke. It’s so nice of them to try to keep my habit going and help me loose weight. I love the people over there at Coke! I can almost handle the Coke Zero and the 50/50 Coke. On days when I am into my diet that’s what I get. The other 355 days of the year I go with the Classic.

Unfortunately my caffeine addiction does not end there, I am also in love RockStar. It is the best energy drink out there in my opinion. I started drinking them when I lived in Vegas and I would hang out at Houlihans sometimes after work. They serve Malibu with RockStar. I was in heaven. Now it is a rare occasion that I get to drink my RockStars with Malibu mostly because I usually only drink them at work (a little Malibu there would not hurt every once in a while, would it?).

RockStars have something in them called Taurine. I don’t know what it is but my old boss told me that it was a derivative of cocaine. I think that is why I might be so addicted. I think a lot of other people are addicted to because RockStars are always sold out. I will see shelves full of them at White Hen one day and the next day all they have left is diet. GAG. I sent some kid at work out to get me a RockStar once and he came back with diet and I wanted to choke him. "Are you trying to tell me something?" I asked. I think he was actually afraid of me as he tried to explain they were simply out of regular. Red Bull in a pinch but NEVER diet.
