I don’t get the hate coffee gets. My favorite was being told by a coworker that my one 16oz cup of coffee a day (at work only) was going to kill me. Meanwhile he must have smoked at least half a pack a day.

When I was young I was told it would stunt my growth.

Now that I’m a parent I think people just didn’t know how to say “we don’t want kids to get caffeine because it will make them wild or prevent them from sleeping properly.”

    Except in all Commonwealth countries, where it’s 20oz. A pint is a pound in the United States is more accurate, but doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.
