The Pepsi conspiracy

It's opening day!... night... whatever.

I've decided to stay up for the entire game if I can, but it's going to be a struggle. See, I'm going all-natural these days, meaning no caffeine. As Lloyd Bridges said: "I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue." I gave it up a few months back (which was brutal for a guy who used to drink 2 liters of Mountain Dew a day) after I found myself quaking at a funeral. For the first few days I suffered through some epic headaches and was constantly tired, but then came the breakthrough! Once you fight through the withdrawals you start to feel so good... run a marathon good. I strongly encourage anyone who suffers from caffeine addiction to kick the habit- it'll do you wonders.

Anyway, for the last few months I've been drowning myself in various orange sodas and root beers, but on a recent trip to the soda isle I grabbed a bottle of caffeine-free Pepsi. I've always hated people who drink this crap, I mean it can't be any good can it? I figured if you're going to drink caffeine-free Pepsi, just drink water! Man was I wrong. This stuff kicks ass! It tastes just like the real thing, which raises the question: Do they take caffeine out of caffeine-free Pepsi, or put caffeine in regular Pepsi? I think we may have a conspiracy on our hands...
