The little tidbit of info on the Fox Futurama site about Fry's numerous Cola-induced heart attacks in high school got me to thinking, if Fry is indeed that allergic/reactive to caffeine (besides that, Cola's basically sugar and caramel coloring), why was he just drinking coffee just fine and dandy in 1ACV04? The only thing I can think of is:
a. Fry's drinking decaf. Sounds plausible. b. In the future, people drink a cheap caffeine free coffee substitute (Postum anyone?) c. Fry's allergies(?) went away after high school. Don't know exactly how, but sometimes it happens. d. I'm looking waaay too deep into this.
Personally, I'd go for A, unless he was actually EATING that caffeinated bacon...
