Euromints

Damnit I FUCKING NEED THESE! Where do I get them???

I don't know where you would get them, the only place I've seen them is in the store at my university, so it's not like it was a REAL store.

You can get Penguin Mints too.

Jolt Gum as well.

mini-problem, they make me paranoid and space-out. Well, it's less spacing out, and more like blocking out everything around me and focussing needle sharp on what I'm working on. This is really cool, but I hope the house doesn't catch on fire while it's happening, because I probably won't notice. I'm still pretty wired, and I haven't had any more to eat. I'm probably not sleeping tonight.

Caffeine's for nancy boy!!!!!!!
Do crystal meth!!!!!

...and god damn it I wanna try now!!!

point of note:
aside from choclate I have NO caffine intake in my diet, this gives me a low tolerance to caffine, so much so that after only 4 bottles of VK Blackcurrent I'm bouncing off the walls, my brain is going 4 billion miles an hour, my heart rate is up from its normal 60ish to around 120 when resting, my throat is closing up and I look like i've taken drugs... AND I LOVE IT, bwahahahahahahahahaha.


i need these [sad]

reallize, I downed the equivalent of 5 sodas in about half an hour. The only thing stopping people doing that with soda is the fact that the liquid starts to take up space in their stomache.

I know, two years ago, between Jolt Soda and Penguin Mints, I was in a pretty bad shape.

Original post by HowStuffWorks Caffeine is an addictive drug. Among its many actions, it operates using the same mechanisms that amphetamines, cocaine, and heroin use to stimulate the brain. On a spectrum, caffeine's effects are more mild than amphetamines, cocaine and heroin, but it is manipulating the same channels, and that is one of the things that gives caffeine its addictive qualities. If you feel like you cannot function without it and must consume it every day, then you are addicted to caffeine.

is it possible to overdose on caffeine through consumption of caffeinated goods?

The page says that a typical soda contains 50mg of caffeine, so if 3 tabs = 1 soda, 1 tab = 16.667mg caffeine. Let's round that to a nice number like 15m. I have 63 tabs left, so that's about 945mg. Most people consume a gram of caffeine over the course of a day, I'm guessing it would be a bad idea to do it in one shot.

However, five our six of these crushed up to sweeten my coffee would rock.

penguin mints taste like processed ass packaged in a pretty package. it's still ass though, in case the packaging distracted you.

Yes, if by overdose you mean cause an irregular heartbeat and other problems.

I've built up a tolerance to caffeine because I get free espresso at school (my friend works at the coffee shop). So I guess it works similarly to other stimulants. I doubt that they would give you enough to "OD" without vomiting from eating too many mints.

Original post by HowStuffWorks The most important long-term problem is the effect that caffeine has on sleep. Adenosine reception is important to sleep, and especially to deep sleep. The half-life of caffeine in your body is about 6 hours. That means that if you consume a big cup of coffee with 200 mg of caffeine in it at 3:00 PM, by 9:00 PM about 100 mg of that caffeine is still in your system. You may be able to fall asleep, but your body probably will miss out on the benefits of deep sleep. That deficit adds up fast. The next day you feel worse, so you need caffeine as soon as you get out of bed. The cycle continues day after day.

I'm quitting now!!!

A quick google search seems to give a LD50 of 200mg/kg (most often quoted number - some sites give 10g/kg). For a 80kg person, that's 16g.

A 12oz can of soda has about 45mg of caffeine, LD50 is reached at about 355 cans, or 4267oz... or 1065 mints.

A 2oz cup of espresso has about 100mg of caffeine, LD50 is reached at about 160 cups or 320oz.

Either of which will give your kidneys a good workout.

JiveTurkey - Well, I guess I like ass then.

I agree. I wouldn't say quite like ass, but it's an "offsetting" taste.. combined with mint.

That "off-taste" is caffeine you idiots!

And yeah, I had a mild overdose after having a frappucino, two starbucks espessos, and two boxes of penguin mints within 45 minutes. Yeah, my stomach hurt like hell, but I was also acting weird. I dumped my girlfriend and didn't realize it til the next morning.


Weird.
