Condiment Abuse

I swung by the Coffee Roaster on my way to work this morning for one of their amazing Americanos, and while I was waiting for my coffee I watched in amazement as the man in front of me poured at least three tablespoons of sugar into his coffee... He just kept pouring and pouring out of the sugar dispenser, giving it a quick shake now and again as a clump blocked the opening.



It seemed to go on forever... watching all that sugar go into the coffee made my tastebuds hurt. I don't have anything against a person sweetening their coffee; I do it myself sometimes, but this was extreme... I get a little bit queasy when I try to imagine what that coffee must have tasted like when that guy was done with it.



I never use more than a packet of sugar, maybe two when I'm sweetening coffee or tea... any more than that for me and the texture of the drink changes, getting noticably thicker and somehow leaving an instant film in my mouth and throat. I don't know why this only bothers me in a hot drink; I know soda has an ungodly amount of sugar per can, but I drink it all the time.
