As for handling the money on a Sunday : it may have been a one time deal but I worked with a guy about 10 years ago who refused to be scheduled on Sunday as he was mormon and refused to handle money on Sunday. Just my experiences with mormons and I don't claim to know anything about the core of their beliefs but someone was asking about caffeine and I don't think the hard core mormons are allowed caffeine but correct me if I am truly BSing. Maybe one should ask next time one knocks on my door for clarification

Again, I was in Utah quite a bit in the 80's and there was no shortage of Mountain Dew. Not every mormon wears the underwear. That's patently false. I'm sure many Mormon's refuse to handle money or work on Sundays....which is something not unique to Mormonism by the way. That said, there are plenty of Mormons who go to stores and buy caffeinated beverages in normal underwear on Sundays.
