Does Mitch live in Utah? I guess he does now.
Somebody noticed yesterday afternoon that he changed his Twitter location from Massachusetts to Utah.
Mormons consume caffeine. It's hot drinks they avoid.
Mormons avoid caffeine, that's pretty well known. Mitt famously felt guilty a couple of times during the campaign when caught sipping a cola.
Your misunderstanding is very common, I got embarrassed when I hosted a morning meeting including a lot of Mormons and served only herb tea, which they of course wouldn't touch. Because they avoid hot coffee or tea, people think it's caffeine, It's not. Coke is fine.
It's more complicated than that. Some Mormons won't drink coffee or tea, but will drink other hot drinks like hot cocoa or herbal tea. Some Mormons do avoid caffeine because it's considered a drug.
Some Christians, Hindus and Pastafarians may avoid caffeine for the same reason, but it's not part of their religious doctrine. Same for Mormons.
Maybe Mitt helped a lot of Mormons when the church had to clarify that for everybody. The media frequently says Mormons must avoid caffeine, so often that apparently some Mormons think it's true too. It's not.
