05.25.06 by Widge @ 8:05 am  Apparently there are some misfortunes out there in the world who can't screw around with caffeine. You have our condolences. You also apparently have a new gee whiz thing coming that will let you slake your paranoia about encountering the stuff. They're going to have strips that will detect caffeine, using an antibody found in llama blood. And no, we're not kidding, read the story here. Now the only problem is it won't tell you how much caffeine is present. To be perfectly truthful, I had a deal worked out where my blood was going to be used to do that, but after a clinical trial that looked like that "blood test" scene in The Thing the whole matter was dropped. I was pissed. Categorized as: Caffeine

09.27.05 by ScottC @ 11:04 am  While our collective of crazies is called Needcoffee, we have always said that we don't care how you get your 3,7-dihydro-1,3,7-trimethyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione in you. So we looked with pleasure at Yes, it's a lip balm with caffeine. Of course, this has limited appeal to the Needcoffee crew since most of us live in places where winter is a blink and you miss it affair. But with the caffeine and the two tasty flavors, Vanilla Toffee or Cool Mint, kissing could become even more stimulating. This product will definitely not disturb the sexy. Categorized as: Caffeine

08.18.05 by Widge @ 9:58 am  MetaFilter gave us a link to this nifty little utility, which will take your favorite caffeinated beverage and calculate how much of it it would take to kill you. Handy. And we started looking through the rest of the site, Energy Fiend, and we like their attitude. Here, check out this defense of energy drinks: They also have a handy guide to energy drink ingredients and a sweet guide to caffeine content. And we found a pointer to another site's list of coffee-related holidays. I love the Net. Categorized as: Caffeine
