OMG, Meryaten! I just checked out that link under your "brains" signature thing. LMAO!! I can see that you have a healthy appreciation of warped humor, so you might want to check this out. Caveat: yup, it's pretty distrubing....

:huh:

I have had power chains for about 5 months all in all. I like you am addicted to coffee and drank normally, no straw or anything of that sort. I didn't notice my chains stain at all! I wear grey usually and I have no problems with them staining. I'm also an avid Chai Tea drinker and that's black tea but I've yet to see them stain from that either!! I hope this helps and enjoy your space being brought together!! At least your pulling together now and not apart! :)

Hey, lildave –– are your grey powerchains appreciably more noticable than white ones?

I'll see how my white chain is looking by the next adjustment, but as of now (knocking on wood) it's still white, and I've had tomato-based pasta sauce and all kinds of no-nos. (I just brush right after.) Not going to take any chances with curry though, as much as I love it.

I've stained a clear chain quite badly, due to tomato sauce and coffee. This time I'm giving up both and hoping I can get to the next adjustment without staining the chain too badly. I have to admit, the last time the chain looked nasty by the time I had it removed. I'm switching the color if I have to.
