      Okay okay you caught me.

      I don’t drink mountain dew, or black tea. I do drink some herbal tea though. Caffeine makes me sick overall.

      I had this meme stuck in my head, then just brain stormed what title would get me the funniest comments.

      So far saying mountain dew tastes better than tea has gotten some banger responses like this one, so all is going according to plan!

        Sometimes the best memes are made by those who are furthest away from the subject matter. I’m over here with the 9¢ green tea bags from Wegman’s though.

      The meme is about 4¢ tea bags. That’s certainly not going to taste the best.

    You can pour a deciliter of sugar into your cup of black tea and it will taste the same as mountain dew.

    If you are drinking tea for the caffeine content it’s best to steep the bag for as long as possible, iirc it takes about 15 minutes for ~95% of the caffeine to extract. One teabag usually has 60-80mg of caffeine so equivalent to one cup of instant coffee.

        Sleep is the condition where you lose consciousness for a few hours, allegedly allowing your body and mind to rest. They say you then ‘wake up refreshed.’ Yeah, I know. These peasants will never stop finding excuses to avoid work.

      Allow me to introduce you to Jolt soda. They make/made(?) cola, and a Mt Dew clone, but with something like 3-5 times the caffeine. That shits disgusting.

      Are a really easy way to accidentally give yourself heart palpitations and be awake for the next 36 hours?

        No. It’s like a peanut M&M except you have a candy shell around an espresso bean. You eat them like candy. Also, if you want to make hot chocolate with a shot of espresso, make them separately and then mix. Don’t try to cook them together.

    Uh. Yeah, but you have to drink like 12 cups of tea to get to one cup of similar caffeine in coffee.

    So, it’s actually cheaper to make coffee at home.

      That’s not true. Depending on bean extraction and quantity, a standard “cup” of coffee will have 100-200mg of caffeine. Black tea bags have around 40-60. A good rule of thumb is about 4x. Getting shit tier coffee goes for about $8/lb and will make around 30 cups, so about 25c per cup. So compared to the meme, coffee is still more expensive per mg of caffeine.

      Edit: on Amazon you can get 200mg tablets for about 8c each. So that would be your best bang for the buck. Semi related, an old coworker would dissolve a caffeine pill in hot water and call it “Mormon coffee”; he was a character.

      Okay that probably depends on brands and like what you add to coffee/tea. But the true enemy is energy drinks.
