Dunkin Donuts has terrible awful nasty disgusting donuts and mediocre coffee.

Coffee? :barf:

I've never developed a taste for it.

Bruise, just think if you gave up the flower and switched to an IV of life-giving rich Italian espresso

Notice the attractive jitter lines. Look at the improvement of mood. Notice the lack of the wilted flower, and how it has been replaced with an impressive Fonzie thumb. :thumbup: Ayyyyyye! :thumbup:

Dunkin Donuts has terrible awful nasty disgusting donuts and mediocre coffee.

As in all things everything has its day . Dunkin just had its day already . I always though their coffee could be used for a vacum cleaner cause it sure sucks ! L:O:L Their Do-nuts used to be better and that is why I said they were resting on their Laurels .
Perhaps "riding the wave" might be a better term to use . It is a business and a good approach to business sometimes entails realising all good things come to an end . Maybe this was the case here . Who can say ?

Tim Hortons evolves . It barely has any donuts anymore . In truth it was the outstanding donuts as well as no frills good coffee that stole dunkins show
Now , try and find a chocolate creme donut and you,ll be outa luck .
Tasty fairly small homestyle bun sandwhiches trio-ed up with a coffee and (you guessed it) a do-nut . While selection is limited they are available .
Course you want a bagel and you can get poppy seed to all dressed . (my favourite .)
The bagel may be Tim,s downfall if He enters the U:S: market . I think it is one of the fundamental differences between you guys and your northern brethren . What we think the ultimate bagel should be . Personally I think Tim holds his own against Starbucks or second cup . They aint the same kettle of fish though . If you want to hoist a pinky in the air while you chug your brew you,ll get laughed out of Tim,s place . .

I'm not allowed to make the coffee at work anymore. My boss says my coffee "has authority" like "navy coffee". My best friend at work called it "cowboy coffee", and he grew up with cafe su da

Tim Horton's double/double is the top of the pyramid for me. Unfortunately I live in utah.

I get the beans green, roast them, grind them, and drink 3/4 of a pot each day.

Course, my pot of coffee is a little darker than what you typically see...

munk, I should have known you roasted your own! I roast my own beans as well, because once you've had coffee that way you'll never want to go back. I used to work at a coffee shop so I've got quite the stash of green beans stored up. I like a light roast but I brew it good and strong.

Coffee?

I've never developed a taste for it.

My advice? Drink black coffee. Rather, drink good black coffee. Sometimes I like my coffee to taste like coffee ice cream, but 9 out of 10 cups it's "as black as hell, as strong as death, and as sweet as love." That's a turkish proverb and they traditionally brew their coffee with sugar, but I prefer the natural sweetness of the beans.

45-70, to answer your question, I'd limit myself to 6 cups a day if you can. To me that's a lot of coffee, I keep myself to one or two a day. But everybody can handle different amount of caffeine, so take that into consideration. Check out http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/caffeine/caffeine.shtml
if you want some excellent info about caffeine.

I had a Turk read my coffee grounds once . He looked at me , he looked back at the cup . I try not to put too much sugar in my coffee seeing as I drink so much . I think they read the legs produced by the sugary grounds .
Apparently I didn,t have a leg to stand on ! L:O:L

What happens when you overdose?

From Desk Reference to the Diagnostic Criteria from DSM-3-R (American Psychiatric Association, 1987):

Caffeine-Induced Organic Mental Disorder 305.90 Caffeine Intoxication

1. Recent consumption of caffeine, usually in excess of 250 mg.
2. At least five of the following signs:
   1. restlessness
   2. nervousness
   3. excitement
   4. insomnia
   5. flushed face
   6. diuresis
   7. gastrointestinal disturbance
   8. muscle twitching
   9. rambling flow of thought and speech
   10. tachycardia or cardiac arrhythmia
   11. periods of inexhaustibility
   12. psychomotor agitation
3. Not due to any physical or other mental disorder, such as an Anxiety Disorder.

​

Basically, overdosing on caffeine will probably be very very unpleasant but not kill or deliver permanent damage. However, People do die from it.
Toxic dose The LD_50 of caffeine (that is the lethal dosage reported to kill 50% of the population) is estimated at 10 grams for oral administration. As it is usually the case, lethal dosage varies from individual to individual according to weight. Ingestion of 150mg/kg of caffeine seems to be the LD_50 for all people. That is, people weighting 50 kilos have an LD_50 of approx. 7.5 grams, people weighting 80 kilos have an LD_50 of about 12 grams.
In cups of coffee the LD_50 varies from 50 to 200 cups of coffee or about 50 vivarins (200mg each).
One exceptional case documents survival after ingesting 24 grams. The minimum lethal dose ever reported was 3.2 grams intravenously, this does not represent the oral MLD (minimum lethal dose).
In small children ingestion of 35 mg/kg can lead to moderate toxicity. The amount of caffeine in an average cup of coffee is 50 - 200 mg. Infants metabolize caffeine very slowly.

Well, then I guess I was suffering from caffeine intoxication.

1. restlessness
2. nervousness
3. diuresis
4. rambling flow of thought and speech
5. psychomotor agitation

Yuo da funny.

Even though the brown beverage of satan is available at work for free...

I don't like the shakes it gives me. You never know when you might have to shoot zombies at long range.

Run up to the foul beasties and inject them with caffine . Then trot back to your rifle . By the time you get back there they will be jittering along at the same frquency as you . Its a question of harmonics . If both objects are in sync . They do not appear to be moving in relation to each other . Really I wish you could give me tougher problems to solve . L:O:L

Well you set the bar so high. The pressure. How are we to rise to the challenge. I mean we are capable of killing zombies, even caffinated zombies, but to challenge you would be a true feat. I was educated in the south. No chance.

Well I thought you just used your crysknife and the weirding way to dispatch wayward zombies, even irradiated alien mutant zombies?

Did I missed something again?

 

[MauiRob]

The only thing to keep in mind is that caffeine affects your heart...at about 100mg per cup, 8 cups in 5 hrs seems like a whopping big dose of caff. to your ticker.

That means we won,t even get to the E:T:C: (electronic trigger control ) I developed for you jittery boys . It takes the slightly spamodic finger twitches and smooths them out . Oh well I guess I,ll forget that call to the patent office .

B:T:W: I only scored 66 percent on the zombie test so i,m a bare borderline zombie killer . Sure I have good suggestions . You gotta live to implement them .

I have a feeling that's from Dune. :grumpy:

Didn't the mods say Dune references are punishable by banishment?

 

[munk]

Dune references are an important tool to define Dunies and non Dunies in the Cantina. There are also ex-Dunies; those who could stand to live out the rest of their days without further Dune references, who do not believe the Dune series defines reality and all future realities.....

Is this a defining moment ? Have I been a transgressor all this time ?
There are actually a couple of parts in the movie I like . Oh the foul fates !
To be shown up in front of my brethren after all this time !
A movie where "Sting" dies in it can,t be all bad ! Didn,t you guys like the dueling machine ? Maybe if it had a Kukuuri attachment ?

I bow my head brfore you in dismay ! Maybe this is the reason I only scored 66 percent on the Zombie test ?
