I am not one to drink caffeinated drinks or sodas, I only like water and natural juices, I find processed juices disgusting. Of course I have had coffee from time to time and if I eat pizza or hamburgers the best company is a glass (small for me) of soda. This week something funny happened to me, in the afternoon I was craving a coffee, it was a cold afternoon, so I went to a store and bought a small coffee, with great desire and excitement I took the first sip and boom! DISGUSTING! The coffee tasted like cardboard, I am not an expert in coffee, but it tasted horrible, it seemed like they had left a cardboard soaking in water and that is what they served, it was horrible.
On the other hand, there is my mother, this lady is addicted to coffee, to the point that if she does not drink coffee during the day, she gets a headache. In the time of maximum scarcity in Venezuela, sugar was not found, it was a luxury to have sugar, so coffee addicts (like my mother) drank it like that, bitter, they also opted to sweeten the coffee with papelon.
My mom is like that too. Interestingly when I quit coffee, I never get a headache. I just crave it. It's mostly mental. Why is soda so perfect with pizza?

Even my mom says she drinks coffee to sleep better...
Pizza and soda is the best thing in life, it's the only way I can drink a few sips. Is there Nestea in the US? That was my favorite option when I was in Venezuela, a glass of peach Nestea, with pizza, hamburgers or hot dogs, that way I avoided the soda, but here where I emigrated they don't sell it.

We have it in the US. When I was teen I would visit my dad in the summers and we drank it by the gallon. I liked it then. Haven't had it in 20 years. I forgot about it.

I'm from a place where it's summer all year round and I loved that drink, I miss it a little
