And it is most likely stupid and wrong. How many doubles does it take to fill up a Red Bull can? Three?
So there is more caffeine in a Red Bull can than in three doubles?

A Red Bull can filled up with stale Folgers, sure, that is another deal. But on the other hand, most people with any tastebuds left would prefer Red Bull to Folgers anyway.

Oh, and speaking of Red Bull and the caffeine effect, here´s a good one:

or fill a redbull can with 6 ristretto's, thinks that will give a better result, but just don't drink 20 ;)

The fourth rule on my list, about brewed coffee not being stored, it comes from a similarly horrifying question. My step son's girlfriend (she is from Denver... it'll explain what followed... ) had asked for a cappucino. When she got it she took a small, small sip and then said, obviously very surprised for some strange reason, "oh, this is strong!". I'm thinking "well, what the hell did you expect?" but I'm not saying anything. Then she decided that it was too late in the evening to drink coffee and asked if she could store it in the fridge until the next morning... at this point it was hard to keep quiet... but I was about to say what became rule number four on the list...
