Caffeine is awesome.

I've had so much caffeine in the last 18 years that normal doses don't do anything anymore. So I went down to the local 7-11 to pick up some Vivarin, $2.59 for 16 of the little suckers, the equivalent of 32 cups of coffee. So I took them to school to help me stay awake through physics, but they just weren't cutting it. So the next day, I went a little crazy and took 4 of them. Well, still nothing. Apparently there's a breaking point, like where your body goes "Hey, that's enough!" and then goes into a series of fits. That happened at the 7th pop. Man, was it fun! My heart was racing at a full 120 beats per minute, my breathing was short and shallow, and my hands were shaking uncontrollably! And when I tried to talk, my voice was as bumpy as a ride down a dirt hill on roller skates! And coming down off of it was awesome, too! I felt so relaxed for the rest of the day. You ought to, after 1.4 grams of caffeine and all.

Does anyone else have any caffeine stories? Or are you a fan of caffeine? Want to tell me I'm an idiot? Go for it!

Get help. 😕

Seriously, it's not cool to do that to your body.
 
I have to admit, I have never tried that kind of dosage, but caffeine does nothing for me, if anything it helps me sleep better.
 
caffeine doesn't affect me that much, therefore i have no need for 32 cups of coffee.... hahaha

well, maybe after that many it would really affect me!! but just having a cup doesn't do much, if anything!

hey - whatever works, man!
 
That is a very stupid thing to do. Caffeine is thought quite safe in reasonable quantities. 1.4 grams is not reasonable. Not even close That's like taking 23 cups of coffee at once (60 mg per cup about). Do not subject your body to this again.
 
Caffeine does very little to me in terms of keeping me awake or alert, I just drink one latte a day because I'm addicted to caffeine.
 
I remember a few years ago my friend was completely addicted to Mountain Dew (large quantities of caffeine)....on a bet he stopped drinking his customary six pack a day for about a week, but by the fourth day he started to shake. I mean seriously shake - he couldn't write anything his hands were shaking so badly. It was amazing to see what an addiction can do to someone...

IDEEEOT!

Can't stay awake? Try doing jumping jacks or taking a power nap instead. You're better off sleeping through physics than doing this to your body. :frown: 🙁
 
Penguin Mints

Every three mints has the caffeine equivalent of a can of Pepsi, there are 75 mints per tin. Each tin therefore has the caffeine equivalent of 25 cans of Pepsi.

You can buy a case of 12 for $25.

Maybe not as potent as Vivarin, but at least there's some benefit other than just being wired.

On CNN about two or three years ago, it reported about a kid who took a whole bottle of caffeine pills (about 90 pills) on a bet.. He died three hours later of heart failure.
