The Naggy State

Ah, Taiwan. Land of the cat-fighting legislators and the soft-serve ice-cream served in a miniature ceramic toilet. Now something possibly even less essential has come along -- a warning sticker system on coffee to help the consumer gauge if he or she is going over the recommended 'ffeine limit -- three cups of Joe a day on average.

I'm sure I'm going to be using the system to weed out the wimpy coffee drinks with inadequate levels of the stuff. Take that, Department of Health. Your attempt to moderate my caffein intake is going to have the opposite effect on me.
