- spazmaster 17y agoWe've just quit the sodas perk, replaced them with fruit and we took time to explain why. While we didn't get high fives for the changing policy, now two three months later we're hearing, "gee, thanks, this is a great idea".

- silentbicycle 17y agoWell, (off the top of my head) guarana berries are caffeinated. There may be more. Plants have caffeine because it helps defend them from insects.
- rbanffy 17y agoA couple years back, I was working in an office where it was usual to go out of the building to smoke and/or get some coffee. More than once I had my cup of coffee stolen by very aggressive bees that, I thought, were attracted to the sugar. I then switched to sweetener, but the bees kept coming. They had either associated the smell of the coffee with the presence of sugar, or were addicted to caffeine. I felt it was better to leave the coffee to the bees than to argue with caffeine-addicted africanized bees.
