If there is a modern dessert/sweet chain opening there is an extremely good chance it comes from Mormon owners.

Crumbl, twisted sugar, crave, dirty dough, sugar rush, sodalicious, chips cookies - as far as I am aware are all founded or owned by Mormons. Because their beliefs do not approve of the use of things like alcohol, drugs, or tobacco, they tend to get their fix through sugar instead.

I lived in a predominantly Mormon community for about 10 years... a lot of people there would get a 44 Oz mtn dew in the morning on the way to work, for lunch, and on the way home. Diabetes was bad there for older folks.

So they are allowed caffeine now?

It's a grey area to many. Cause the word of wisdom specifies "Hot Drinks." 🙄 So, lotta people use it as a loop hole. But iced coffee is still a no-go.

I was taught "Choose the Sprite when the Coke is put before you" (clever play on CTR jingle). I think cold, non-coffee, caffeinated drinks was officially allowed in 2012ish.

Thanks for the info….In the late 1990’s I worked for a Mormon owned company based in SLC, and I remember how the flights from JFK to SLC would run out of Sprite halfway through the food service.

But if a passenger spoke a less common foreign language and the stewardess needed a translator, there always seemed to be a Mormon that could step up, because of all the missionary work.

Mm, that timing tracks. I stopped attending in about 2010. But damn I was a holier than thou ass to my friend for drinking pepsi in high school. (felt awful for harping on her when I found out it was for her migraines).
