Morning coffee
Coke with lunch
Afternoon Dr. Pepper
Sweet tea with dinner
I’m a caffeine addict. I don’t seek the caffeine directly, but rather I enjoy several products that contain it. I’ve noticed lately that skipping my coffee or opting for water with lunch leaves me with a pounding headache. But that’s not the worst of it.
There is another embarrassing problem. Halitosis. My lovely wife tells me when I have bad breath. Turns out, she is the only person who will tell me*. She will ask “what did you eat today?” The trend seems to indicate that Dr. Pepper, my favorite drink in the world, may be a leading cause of my less-than-sweet breath. But we haven’t rules out coffee and other sodas. They may also be guilty.
So, I’m thinking about quitting, solving both problems. Cold turkey. Not just the Dr. Pepper but the Coke and coffee as well. I think I’m going to try going all water. (except beer when the mood should strike) I almost hope the bad breath continues so Dr. Pepper can be vindicated and allowed back onto the menu. Time will tell.
I’m a little worried about the headaches and energy drop I may experience but this article offers help. Wish me luck.

Travis also said he is unable to smell becasue a 6th grader punched out this olfactory system. That sounds like a blog post, doesn’t it?

I don’t know what to say to this other than to defend you (and your breath). You have extraordinary breath most given days (you know this because I tell you) - all but a few days a month when I’d swear you ate a skunk for lunch!
LOVE YOU. Mean it.
