all the mormons I know are tee-totalers and drink only water or uncaffeinated drinks.


Most of them seem to drink soda here; in fact, we have a Mormon-owned soda shop in town that a lot of the school-age Mormon kids seem to hang out at! I've been told it's often a regional thing, that they're less "Mormon-y" (their term, not mine) if there's a community of them in the area. I suppose it's probably like any other group, and they feel less like outsiders.

Kinda interesting being somewhat immersed in what's effectively a conservative subculture that's supposed to not shun folks who aren't part of it. We have some weird conversations.


Swig, right? We had one of those open here and the line was ridiculous for months. Not my jam, but always blocking access to my coffee shop.


This one's called Straws.
