Interesting Boatman, thanks. Instant coffee between the cheek huh? Well, I used to dip (skoal bandits, nasty stuff sick) when I was a teenager....so I suppose instant coffee couldn't be any worse. Even though my life wouldn't be the same without it, I don't know if coffee is quite as addictive as nicotine though. No coffee = cranky SOB with a headache. When I gave up nicotine it felt like gremlins were jumping on my brain for two weeks.
