    I may be the only dinosaur around running Boolean searches on Google, but I find that I nearly always get exactly what I want doing that. Boolean won't hunt down related terms, sure, but 99% of the time I don't need that. So to step forward, I stepped backwards. Boolean still rules. #googlecaffeine

    @beekerstudios: you are inane and stupid: No, I know exactly what you mean. Boolean doesn't give you "sorta like this, but not exactly that." It's a definite limitation.

    @KeyserSoze: Mmm. Chicken-y Boolean goodness. Just like mom used to make! #googlecaffeine

    @moo083: Actually, Uncle Rupie wants to get paid. As far as I'm concerned, he can get bent. Go to a NewsCorp site, and the robots.txt specifically allows Google's indexing, and even points to the sitemap. If he didn't want to be searchable, he shouldn't allow searching. He just wants Google to pay for regurgitating NewsCorps already regurgitated stories. #googlecaffeine

    I truly do not understand the geek obsession with caffeine. I guess if you really fit the stereotype and never exercise then it's the only way to get energy, but... having an obvious addiction to something and being proud of it is just so strange from a group of smart people.

    Not to nitpick, but phenylalanine is not aspartame. It's an amino acid, and it's definitely found in aspartame (as well as a bunch of other things.)

    I need to go make coffee now. Damn all the coffee talk this week, it's all I can think about.

    I use the penguin mints seen in the first picture. But mainly my caffeine comes from caffeine pills, soda, and espresso. Eat more fiber and the runs will go away.

    Good stuff man. I have to agree with you that artificial sweeteners do SUCK. They rip my stomach up and induce instant headaches for me, so I stay away from them. As far as the caffeinated products the suckers and cookies are about the only ones that sounded even half-good. Those penguin mints are "OK" but meh. Great article though!
