For
those who obtain your caffeine fix from the following culinary novelties, there
is still time for enlightenment:
A 12 oz Coca-Cola has 46 mg of
caffeine. A Coca beverage (8 oz.) gives you a 3-32 mg fix. Milk Chocolate
(1 oz.) gives a 1-15 mg fix, and I am not aware of any red-blooded American
who would appreciate only 1 oz. of milk chocolate at a time. One oz. of semisweet
chocolate (my preference) will supply a 5-35 mg rush.
There is help
for cola drinkers and chocolate gobblers. You too can graduate and join the ranks
of Javamanity. Pick up the phone and call 1-800-JAVAMAN. There are different self-help
packages geared for your individual special needs. They will elevate you to javatry
on a heady aroma, and you can specify whether it should be Columbian Hazelnut
or Peruvian Coca.
For those who want to shake the coffee habit and if
your hand is steady enough for you to type on your keyboard, then try www.javadetox.com.
They offer different self-help packages for all of javamanity, whichever level
you're on. All proceeds go to the International Tea Growers Association.
