Pop them in your mouth, they dissolve, you get the Happy Stuff. As they explain: The trouble with energy drinks is they go into your stomach. That might sound strange at first, but read on. When you imbibe an energy drink it has to go through your stomach before getting into your blood stream, which significantly slows down your rush. And we just can't have that, now can we? 25mg of caffeine per strip, which means I would need to consume an entire pack of 18 before I would feel anything. But for those of you who are normal, you might appreciate them. You can snag them from ThinkGeek by clicking here. Categorized as: Caffeine

No doubt you're all getting ready to increase your own city's standing next year. And to this we recommend subscribing to our feed so you can get the latest on this and other items that are guaranteed to ruin your sleep. Sleep--it can be eradicated in our lifetimes. Join us, won't you? HealthSaver commissioned a survey to ask the question: "When it comes to caffeine, which American city wins?" Okay, well, no, it wasn't exactly phrased like that, you understand. They were trying to find out which city is the most caffeinated. I don't think there was, you know, a trophy or anything involved. Maybe there should be. If there was, then we would definitely need to know so we could gear up for next year. Categorized as: Caffeine

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Your friends at Energy Fiend have posted a chart detailing a complete list of Starbucks drinks and how much buzz you can estimate you'll be getting for each. Very handy. But this is just an estimate; as they state: A recent laboratory test sampled a series of Starbucks Breakfast Blend brewed coffees. The caffeine dose varied from 299.5mg right up to a massive 564.4mg per 16oz cup! What's astonishing is that the 6 samples were obtained from the same outlet on 6 consecutive days. That is fairly astonishing. I would want to find out which barista was responsible for the uber-caffeine drink and they would be my bestest friend in the whole world. Categorized as: Caffeine

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Energy Fiend points out the latest food to get the caffeine-added treatment. This time it's Golden Flake, and it's in their NRG Potato Chips going under the name "Phoenix Fury." Added to the hot flavor the chips are supposed to provide are taurine, caffeine, and B vitamins. I've done some rooting around and I can't seem to find the caffeine content of them either. If anybody knows, give me a headsup. Getting something caffeinated to not taste like ass is hard work--caffeine is not something that's exactly smack your lips yum if you were to try it straight. And no, I haven't even though I've got some powder in my pantry, so calm down. I'm just saying. Anytime you can combine it with food and make it still tasty is interesting, especially the higher caffeine content you go. Hence my interest. The site for the new NRG line of snacks is here.
