Ewww chicory, I had a gulp of that once which also ended up coming right back out! There are a few thing in life for which there are no substitute, coffee beans and cheese top the list for me...oh and I would never touch something pretending to beer that wasn't in fact beer haha!
Hehe, I am with you on that. No way would these things be replaced unless by some astonishing found it was by something even more coffee/beer/cheesy!!! :0)
