    Meh. Doesn’t work. Used to have coke every day, for years and years. Never made me a better writer.

    Maybe I shoulda’ tried Pepsi?

      I smoked weed for thirty years and it made me a much better programmer. That app is going to be done any day now.

      Edit: I haven’t checked lately, but Visual Basic 3 is still what everybody’s using, right?

          I thought you drank Irn Bru?

          I tried some last year. Not bad.

          Only if you’re looking to write a book about Remote Controlled things. If you want to write about medicine or even self-help to a degree, you’d be best to stick with Dr. Pepper.

            The true secret is Mr. Pibb, but they no longer make it, so Stephen King keeps a giant walk-in fridge full of the stuff, enough to drink until he dies.
