It may taste as almost as good, but it absolutely doesn’t give me the same jolt. No BS, there was accidentally some decaf at the office (where I get my second traveler-sized cup), and I noticed both a mild flavor difference (wasn’t my preferred brand) and a huge caffeine difference.
I can’t find a way to logically race a 4/5 crit, but this guy makes me want to race a crit the same way AC/DC thunderstruck makes me want to start a boxing match.
