I always thought your accent was a little posh...I am glad I never said anything. ;-)
Good thing I'm humble and keep my head low (Hey! No laughing!) - my brother says I speak like Stephen Fry.

Strange, I never percieved Mr Fry to have a Norwegian accent...

I just learnt that caffeine can increase one's sense of motivation (yeah, trying to motivate myself to do some work...). Complete hogwash, of course, since it sent me off to find out how much coffee we actually consume - and that didn't really help me getting any work done

Anyway, I guess it is probably more correct to say that caffeine is essential to survive long and dark winters, the top cunsumers being
1. Finland - 12kg per capita per year
2. Norway - 9.9
3. Iceland - 9
4. Denmark - 8.7
5. Netherlands - 8.4
6. Sweden - 8.2

(I'm guessing the Dutch need to clear their heads.)

They used to - four seasons worth - a long time ago; one of them has since passed away.

And number 10?

10 – Canada: 6.5 kg per capita
Canada stands out as the only non-European country to make the list of the world's top ten coffee producers. From east to west, Canadians love their coffee. Although popular chains are common across the country, every city in Canada is often home to a number of independent shops as well. The drink is so popular in this country of 33 million that the Coffee Association of Canada calls it the most commonly consumed beverage in the country.

Despite the prevalence of coffee shops in Canada, many Canadians prefer to drink their coffee at home. Cold weather and long winters have been stated as a popular pull factor, drawing residents into the allure of the hot brown beverage.

Morning all!

I think a lot of the younger generation gets their caffeine fix from soft drinks, at least here in the USA.

Canada peeps, Smoke 'em if you got 'em!
Never was my cup of tea, or coffee.

50 % cheese
14 % bacon
36 % mainly water, I guess, and some melting salts - whatever is needed to make it squeezable.

I eat the stuff mainly when camping etc - easy to transport without things getting messy, it keeps well etc.
Thanks savoche!
Velveeta needs to make something similar, I'd brush my teeth with the stuff.

Good morning! Or rather, good afternoon...

I don't want no soft caffeine! Give me coffee or give me... umm, tea?

And unlike Charlie I don't smoke my coffee!

For Canuckinas they need a Kraft mac & cheese in a squeeze tube.
I suppose our "Aussie" friends are tired of food in a tube.

Oh, so that's what Velveeta was made for!

But there's already bacon toothpaste out there, you know.
