Coffee Mugs™

Coffee was criminal !!  pt 6
In Sweden, circa 1746, King Gustav III banned coffee completely under the impression that coffee was detrimental to public health.  To prove his theory he experimented on imprisoned twins forcing one to drink 3 pots of coffee a day, and the other 3 pots of tea a day, expecting the effects on the coffee prisoner to validate all.  However, Gustav III was assassinated before the experiment was over and was never informed of the tea prisoner living to his 80s and the coffee prisoner living even longer!  The Swedes had been deprived of coffee for no reason.

they drank it anyway.
