Today, when I was on the phone with my friend, a lot of the discussion focused on how tired we were. His advice to me was, "Drink some coffee." I explained to him that I've never really been that fond of coffee. It's ok, but I'd much rather have a Coke to get my caffeine fix. "Coke doesn't have as much caffeine. Coffee's a lot better," he continued, "I guess it's an acquired taste."
An acquired taste? That phrase has always bothered me. Why would someone want to acquire a taste if they don't like it, especially if it's bad for you? Why would I want to repeatedly ingest things like coffee and alcohol to make myself like them? I'd much rather grab a Coke or some juice.
