CAFFEINE ADDICT'S QUIZ
Do you want to know if you suffer from "Alertness
Deficit Disorder" (ADD)?
Then just take this simple quiz. These questions will
help us to determine whether or not you suffer from
this terrible affliction; the only known cure for which
is caffeine. ADD takes the lives of millions of Americans,
hundreds of Canadians, and a handful of Ugandans
every year. If that doesn't scare you, let's just say
that you are more susceptible than anyone else.
YES, YOU! If you suffer from this disease, missing just
one trip to Starbucks could be FATAL.
The following series of Yes/No questions will allow us
to determine your Addiction Factor(TM). Keep track of
the number of Yes and No answers you get and chart
yourself at the end. Remember: Prevention is the best
medicine. Or was it laughter? Either way, read on.
