ugh, sorry to hear about this. every once in a while someone at work will rudely make regular coffee in the decaf pot, and i end up walking around all day feeling like the top of my head is about to blow clean off. every once in a while if i'm especially fatigued i'll have some regular coffee to blow off the fog, but under ordinary circumstances it makes me feel horrible.
the unexpected-ingredient peeve i've had lately is with dairy products. it's remarkable how many store and/or generic brands of heavy cream and/or sour cream contain non-cream ingredients. in case, you know, anyone from another planet was unclear on this, the proper ingredients of heavy cream are: cream. the proper ingredients of sour cream are: cultured cream. not carrageenan. not whey. not "nonfat milk solids", whatever the fuck those are. cream. is this a difficult concept? i don't think so...
i was horribly disappointed the other day when i discovered that Trader Joe's store brand of sour cream contains even more non-sour-cream ingredients than Western Family brand, my previous nemesis. usually they're pretty good about the natural ingredients thing... why would they do this?
