Glyko-to keep you cool
Metrio-to help you find the bus or subway in the morning
Sketo-to keep the bugs away
I'll take the first one, because with all that caffeine who needs a ride
and the bugs couldn't keep up to land on you anyway.

Hey, Doug. You had better change your tipple! If you come out here, we
can give you a coffee that will REALLY wake you up, 49% caffeine, 49%
flavour and the rest water! It's made in 3 varieties, glyko, metrio and
sketo, to suit all tastes. In most places it's only about 20 or 25 US
cents/cup. A good kick-start for the day and MUCH cheaper than
Starbucks.
Best regards,
Brian
