This woman deadass said, and I quote: "soda is healthier than coffee anyway." Someone tell these Mormons that concentrated corn syrup in quantities of soda pumped with chemicals is infinitely worse for you than natural bean water with zero calories.
25-30 years ago it was the caffeine in coffee that was a problem for LDS and now it's OK to have caffeine in soda... and it's the fact that they're hot drinks that they don't drink them?????? so confused I am so confused.
@Wudup It could still be the caffeine. Not all soda has caffeine, but all coffee does. I stopped drinking Coke probably 4 years ago, but I still drink flavored water. No caffeine and minimal calories, but tastes similar. (I'm not LDS, just fat)
Honestly, my wife is so sensitive to caffeine that she can have a couple sips of decaf coffee. Or maybe a quarter of a mt dew. So, coffee caffeine is stronger…to her. May be diff for someone else? Everyone has unique body chemistry.
I mean every religion has loopholes and if not people create them no matter how hard priests complain. Christians used to consider usury was bad, and then changed it to only "unfair" usury is bad and now most christians couldnt tell you what usury means and now youre stuck paying student loans
I've lived in Utah most of my life. Salt Lake City has several of these places. The still very hypocritical answer I get most to the no caffeine no alcohol conundrum is; Mormons are not supposed to consume anything that is unhealthy for their bodies.I guess they don't know processed sugar and artificial flavorings are bad. Seeing the staggering number of snack vending machines on campus at BYU or UVU could put you into a diabetic coma, but no beer or smokes. The truly weird thing is medical Marijuana IS legal here.
Sweet things like chocolate or candies change the taste of your soda when you drink it so that’s absolutely gross, I agree. An ice cold Pepsi with salty and buttery popcorn is the answer. Savoury is the way!
Yeah it makes no sense. What about ice coffee or frappes? And like the other comment says, they drink hot cocoa. And it’s not about the caffeine, because they drink soda. So, what is the point?
I’m LDS, love soda, and wish I could try coffee. I think coffee would actually be healthier cause it’s from the earth right? 😂 tbh soda shops are literally such a vibe
My Bishop knows I go to Beans & Brews once a year from my Frozen Pumpkin Pie Fritalia & I still have my Temple Recommend. I say go for it! 😉 But I'm a transplant & a convert, so maybe they're more lenient with me? 🤷♀️
@@TheBikemaster94 yeah that's so true. That's why MountainDew is bannded in Europe. Everyone should look up 'U.S. foods that are bannded in Europe or other countries'

i think it’s mostly the syrups. like you could get a cherry coke anywhere but people who go to these shops want it to come ready with the extra, more obscure flavors like coconut or peach. weird business model but if it works, it works
Our religion forbids us to consume hot drinks with caffeine, hmm let's drink cold drinks with double caffeine and x8 sugar, and Jesus will be proud of each of us, and it also much much healthier..
I only drink Sparkling Water...and have done so for 15 years, long before the "Sparkling Water Craze"...It started with Perrier, then club soda, and now I drinks lots of La Croix (Lime is the best)...
Try hint waters if you want some really good flavored flat water!!! As far as sparkling, I like the ones you mentioned and AHA has a really good watermelon lime 😋
Whaaaat! LDS doesn't drink hot drinks like coffee or tea? I thought it was the caffeine that they were not partaking in and now it's hot drinks and by the way, soda has caffeine I am so confused by this.
It comes down to interpretation of scripture. Mormons follow "The Word of Wisdom," supposedly a revelation from the prophet Joseph Smith which contains a lot of advice on how to live more healthily. It forbids the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, too much meat and hot drinks, the latter of which have been interpreted as tea and coffee in many circles. Since the Word was first released, Mormons have debated whether just a drink's temperature was the problem, or whether there were other factors, namely caffeine as it is in both tea and coffee: the two most problematic drinks. As a result, many Mormons believe that caffeine is an issue too, and stay away from any caffeinated drinks, from cold tea/coffee to sodas. Most don't however, as you saw in this video, and happily drink caffienated drinks like soda. Some even seem to believe that it's healthier for you, and the Church officially gave soda consumption a blessing in 2012. So tl;dr: caffeine isn't the big problem, the temperature of your drink is. But since tea and coffee (the two big hot drinks) have caffeine in them, some Mormons also think that caffeine is an issue too, if not the main issue.
I've heard different things...does the LDS not allow caffeine, or hot drinks, or both? I know a devout Mormon at work that drinks Red Bull, saying he can because it isn't hot..but when I was at the Polynesian Culture Center in Hawaii (run by the BYU University there), all the Cokes were caffeine free...OK...I might understand the prohibition of caffeine...but hot drinks??? What about hot decaffeinated coffee or tea??? Why would a hot drink be prohibited???
The rule does not say anything about caffeine only hot drinks such as coffee and tea and alcohol; it also does not state why they can't drink alcohol, tea, and coffee. I would ask your co-worker why he can't drink coffee and tea. A theory I have heard is that it prevents them from socializing with other people who are not a part of the church.

A morning soda instead of a morning coffee? Oh my. All this time I thought it was about the caffeine, which I can understand - caffeine is mildly addictive, withdrawal headaches can be a pain, and caffeine crashes are a thing. But apparently it's not. I like the idea of soda shops though, especially in summer. Some of those recipes sound tasty, but I don't think I'd get a big of a cup as they have!
It's just weird. The New Testament even tells us that everything as far as food and drink is permissible if done with a good conscience and not in gluttony.

Well, words of wisdom states no harmful or addictive substances so sugar could fall under those categories. Also no tea and coffee also means no derivatives of, so if the caffeine comes from coffee or tea then it should be a no go and of course caffeine can fall into the addictive substance's. So sugary drinks full of caffeine etc. Well, go pray and ask of the lord, for the lord will reveal all truths which you desire of him if you pray with a sincere and contrite heart, amen 🙏
