It is not called 'instant' coffee here but soluble coffee. It all tastes bloody awful.
This is some of the muck on sale here:

No great selection but who buys it? Usually students.

Nescafé Original and Blend 43 are made from scraping the insides of manky hot water boilers.

Caffeine is caffeine is caffeine...

There's coffee that's been scraped from inside a boiler and there's coffee that's between squeezed through a civet's arse cheeks. The caffeine molecule remains the same, but the end result can be quite different. Heh... remains... end result.

Not advisable with rhubarb.

..and it smelled of instant coffee...

It being soluble, why drink at all? Attach IV for study session.

We used to be able to get pills called "No-doze", which had as much caffeine as half a dozen strong cups of coffee. I tried some at uni, for all-night study sessions, but they sure made me fucking twitchy...

ritalin is the study drug, but if you're like me you can't take it. Personally, I gradually become Columbo if Columbo were a paranoid schizophrenic.

It ain't pretty.

The best study drugs are a good night's sleep, a hearty breakfast, and sticking to a realistic revision plan.

Boring I know.
