"HealthSaver commissioned a survey to ask the question: 'When it comes to caffeine, which American city wins?'

Okay, well, no, it wasn't exactly phrased like that, you understand. They were trying to find out which city is the most caffeinated. I don't think there was, you know, a trophy or anything involved. Maybe there should be. If there was, then we would definitely need to know so we could gear up for next year.

Anyway. The most caffeinated city is Chicago. The least caffeinated city is San Francisco and Oakland. And considering how much it costs to live in San Fran (and New York City, which was also on the list), I'm surprised anybody there can afford caffeine once they get done paying the rent."
