Coffee

[supergee]

A while ago, John Scalzi did a post saying that coffee tastes like ass. Now he admits that he drinks it when there's lots of other stuff in it. He says that coffee is popular just because it's a drug, but it can't be as simple as that, because there's a market for decaf coffee but not for cocaine-free crack.

I like coffee insofar as it aspires to the condition of ice cream: lots of sweet stuff, lots of milklike stuff, a little coffee. It may taste like ass all by itself, but it makes the other ingredients taste better. Coffee is a seasoning.

You and me both -- although I still think it's nowhere near as tasty as Diet Dr Pepper.
