Fuma Lo Que Te Gusta
WTF is right ??? That description must have been written by somebody on some kind of drug, cause if they weren't that is troubling. Nothing in that paragraph made me want to try this coffee and I think the marketing strategy was in very poor taste. Good luck selling your "dope".

There is some wild stuff out there!! ???
What I find to be all too true, is that very morning people line up at Starbucks for their morning does of Caffeine, and they display all the signs of addiction. Yet the whole world is OK with it, and it really is nothing more that MIDDLE CLASS CRACK.

I'm sorry, but comparing coffee and crack is ridiculous. How many people have smoke pole for coffee, or turned tricks, or robbed liquor stores...
Having grown up in a town that is falling apart due to meth, I find the comparison revolting.
To the coffee, what the hell are you searching for. :laugh:

I had a friend in rehab and his roomie used to toss some meth in when he brewed his coffee. Crazies out there, this individual was up for 14 days straight one time. Just imagine how many years that takes off your life!!!

Why do you say that? There's nothing on the wiki page that says this is any worse than coffee. It may be better, actually.
This is just coffee and yerba mate, guys. While the whole "meth" thing might be tacky, it's just play on how addictive coffee seems to be to regular drinkers.

Do you really think that your "wiki page" is correct? Anyone can go in and change information posted on that site.
It's hardly a reliable resource.

Do you have a reliable resource or are you just here to hijack and bash wiki pages? I'm curious if there are known issues with yerba mate.
Please make your edits, btw and we'll see how long they last. Would be interesting to see. Or are you just bluffing?

Sleeping not so peacefully
Good job Cheekie. I think I'll stick to plain old coffee with no additional additives.
