Sorry, mountain dew tastes better than tea?

What garbage store brand floor scrapings sorry ass tea have you tried.

[-] ericbomb@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

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

Excuse me? Mountain dew (any Energy Drink for that matter) tastes horrible.

Tea all the way!

You stayed loyal to tradition and are reaping the finical benefits for it!

Just pee in your green tea and add a cup of sugar per cup of pee tea.

It will look like mountain dew and get you sweating like mountain dew and taste like SHIT!

Whenever I really have to pee I say "why did I drink all that crab juice!" out loud and no one knows what the hell I'm talking about.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 17 points 1 year ago

Excuse me sir that's just bollock, dried leaves water is clearly superior.

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.

[-] tigaente@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

It's also gonna be super bitter at this point.

[-] yukichigai@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

That's why you load it with a half cup of sugar.

Or just slam it like you're doing a Jager Bomb

Mountain Dew isn't only the worst caffeine fix.

Mountain Dew is the worst soda in general.

[-] los_chill@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago

I think Mountain Dew is the best soda.

Instead of caffeine I sleep for 7 hours

[-] habanhero@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago
[-] evlogii@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

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.

Caffeine pills are faster and also dirt cheap.

[-] RepulsiveDog4415@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

Do i shit gold? Who the fuck buys tea in bags?

You pay at least 10x as much and produce a ton of waste in the process...

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It really depends where you live, if all tea is imported bags are usually cheaper. 250g of budget loose leaf in Australia is $4 which is affordable and cheap, but you could also get a 100 pack of tea bags (approx 200g) for $2.50. So it's technically cheaper to buy bags. But only slightly, and the quality difference does mean it's often worth spending more for loose leaf.

[off topic] Chocolate covered espresso beans. Expensive as platinum but worth it. Check out high end candy shops and gourmet stores.

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

Seriously those things are really good and before you know it the packet is empty and you are afraid for your life.

Monster White is my bane. It's so good. It also has lots of caffeine. Send help.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Monster White sounds like slang for cocaine

If you’re really hard up for caffeine, purchase pure caffeine powder. $20 is enough to satiate an average person for a year, or to overdose daily for a month.

[-] ericbomb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Looking at the math it honesty looks like cheap black tea and cheap caffeine powder are about the same cost. Can get 400 tea packets for 15ish bucks, or a year supply for 15$.

Tea just is secret top tier.

I drank a lot of sweet tea and mountain dew in high school and occasionally coffee, then switched to energy drinks in college. Until I did the math on the energy drinks and bought a Keurig, which is convenient enough that I stopped my daily energy drink habit and saved a ton of money. Are there cheaper ways to get caffeine? Yes. Will my sleep disordered ass use any of them? No.

[-] ericbomb@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

So post was actually inspired by a guy who was a rep for gas stations, so spent his day driving from gas station to gas station to like take inventory, make orders, and what not.

Where at each gas he would buy a single energy drink for like 5 a day.

Buying energy drinks exclusively from gas stations has to be the least cost effective way to get caffeine.

So while your coffee machine isn't the cheapest... by the stars you're miles ahead of that guy.

I consider the privilege of choice in taste of one's preferred stimulant to be one of the few small joys to late stage capitalism.

Pardon me? Only uncultured american teenagers who don´t know anything about good taste believe such utter nonsense! What "tea" are you drinking anyway? Must be the dust they collect after sweeping the floor of the packing plant and then put in teabags to sell it to people who know nothing about tea. Do yourself a favour, go and buy some nice loose leaf Darjeeling, FTGFOP or even better SFTGFOP, prepare it properly and apprechiate something truly good, maybe it´s not too late and your taste can still be saved ...

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

maybe try different teas? even mixing a couple together?

[-] stolid_agnostic@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Umm. Mt Dew is nasty. I'll take really bad tea any day over that.

Tea is best!!

[-] poopsmith@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Caffeine pills! You can find them for cheap at most drug stores. Plus you can dose the exact amount you want.

[-] Enigma@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I was so obsessed with Dutch Bros Paris tea that I went and ordered a bag so I’d stop spending $5/day going there. It’s still the best tea that I’ve ever drank, IMO. Add some agave and it’s my own little Dutch bros at home.

Harney & Sons is the brand they use.
