1. Republicans must go to Starbucks n/t

[vanderBeth]

2. What's the dealio with NH?

[Sugarcoated]

3. And Utah!

How's that happening?!

[vanbean]

4. This is a very generalize reply to Utah

but almost all of the Mormons (I know a lot) don't drink coffee. They have a thing about it but I get different reasons why. That might possibly be the Utah reason?

[Sugarcoated]

6. 7-11 sells hot tea

just saying

[SoxFan]

8. It's the caffeine that's the issue

Mormon's don't drink caffeinated beverages. Former NH congressman Dick Swett and his wife are Mormons, and they only have decaf at their cookouts and Christmas party. Even Katrina's incredible coffee ice cream drink is made with decaf.

11. Nope - Im a former LDS member and my whole family is LDS

caffine is not a problem - coffee is - see the link I posted.

[Sugarcoated]

12. Okay

that explains Utah. But what about Kansas? Texas? Not fussing with anyone here, I'm just wondering why Sev's cups aren't going red in the red states.

[ObamaKerryDem]

18. Yet they drink Coke and Pepsi...the ones I knew do, at least (and my hometown was full of them)lolnt

[FreeState]

10. Mormons do not drink coffee - its against their health code

called the Word of Wisdom. (Im a former Member - drinking coffee is a BIG no no)

13. That alone would keep me from being Mormon, LOL

I looooove my coffee. :donut:

[vanbean]

22. Shared a dorm room with my mormon friend

It drove her nuts. I get varied answered about it though, from the caffeine to the tannic acid which I used to hear a lot until I asked them why they could eat onions? Anyway I am really not surprised by the cup thing in Utah because a lot of tea is forbidden.

[FreeState]

23. Tea

LDS only drink 100% herbal tea - meaning it contains no tea leaves. :)

I checked at the 7-11 here and they only had real Tea no herbal teas... but it may be different there (I went to school there and cant remember LOL).

[SoxFan]

7. Not a lot of 7-11 franchises

They have competition from Cumberland Farms and Irving, so they aren't as ubiqitous as they are in the rest of the country.

[beac]

17. NH = green= don't buy coffee in disposable cups?

:shrug:

[WinkyDink]

24. They hate taxes, and also probably the smart kids who attend college there.

[TexasLady]

5. Including Texas!

works for me~!

[RebelOne]

9. Unfortunately, no 7-11s here in Georgia so I can't vote. n/t

[BuyingThyme]

14. No 7-11s? What the hell?

[JimGinPA]

15. Keep A Long Needle In Your Car...

Whenever you go into a 7-11 poke a hole through all the McSame cups at the same time.

[blogslut]

16. Obama went up a point in Texas

Considering that Texas is the original home of the Southland Corporation/7-11, well, it's a good sign that Obama's got 60% in Texas.

[ObamaKerryDem]

19. He's winning it in AZ, too! LOL! :D

Remind me to stop by a 7 eleven soon and get in on the act..;) :P

[TexasObserver]

20. Well, to be fair, lots of Republicans are drinking Hemlock these days!!

Oh, no he di-ent! He did not throw down a Socratic reference!!

[crispini]

21. LOl! nt

[progressivebydesign]

25. Jones Soda Co. has McCain and Obama sodas... there are LOTS of McCains sitting on the shelf..

the Obama Colas are dwindling down, I've found that with most things for sale like that lately.

[bigwillq]

26. That's cool.

They have 7-11s up here in CT but I rarely go to them. I don't like coffee but I may stop in to buy a cup! :bounce:

[msallied]

27. I love this. LOL

I had no idea that they even did this in previous elections. I don't usually buy coffee from convenience stores, but I might have to make a stop by there before the election and weigh in. LOL
