Wait a second, this sounds strangely like gaming improves my caffeine intake. Something is backwards here.

I ordered a case of Jolt battery cans, but they won't get here for a month. We need Jolt distributors in Central Florida, now!

Caffeine ftw!

We (in the Netherlands) dont have much caffeinated stuff around - just Pepsi X which is slowly also going out of store (its 2x caffeine ).

The best is i think my brother uses for his workout - some kind of weight loss kind of thing, but has massive Caffeine in it... First time he used he almost got high on it =.='... may NOT be used together with other caffeinated stuff because of overdose, may definately not take more than perscripted dose... lol... Also may not take it in after 6pm because of sleeping problems.

ingredients in one capsule (4capsules a day):
Guarana (22%) 200 mg* HCA (Garcinia Cambogia) 200 mg L-Carnitine 125 mg Kola Nut 75 mg* Citrus Aurantium 75 mg** Witte Wilgenbast 50 mg Geen Thea (50%) 25 mg Chroompicolinaat 50 mcg *natural source of cafeine ** natural source of Synephrine

I dont know what Witte Wilgenbast is in english but it sounds like it comes straight off a tree - lol...

How much mg of caffeine is in..one cup of coffee? (to see if it really is that much)

Cheers!

so teh mints arived and i'm going to say one thing about them. the dont taste like crap. in fact they taste quite good.

all other caffinated mints i've ever tried have a gross taste, its a sort of chemical type of flavor that i just dont find pleasnt. these actually taste like breath mints should taste, minty. i like them and recomend that anyone who hasn't already tried these caffinated wonders try them.

OK, a few days ago I get a nicely packaged box addressed to Fatsobob.
I thought to myself, CAFFINE!!!!
I tore it open to find the chacolate and I had a piece.
I find out that they are tins of individually packaged chacolates.
I had a piece, and I found out that those little mofos pack one hell of an aftertaste.
If you get Buzz Bites, chew those suckers fast or your gonna end up with a bad taste in your mouth.

I too got my box of goodies yesterday. I came home from college this weekend for a doctors appointment, which by the way wasn't good, but after opening a brown box, I felt better.

The Buzz Bites are super sweet. They do leave a funny taste in your mouth, but it was worth it. I felt more alert soon after eatting just one square of chocolate goodness.

I will definitely buy some of these bad boys once they are gone.

Thanks again to everyone who made this contest possible.

caffeine in small amounts puts me to sleep . .. I need to drink around 15 sodas before it actually keeps me up.

Not while gaming... I drink two, strong, mugs of 'Arabica to get me going in the morning, that is all...
no sugar, just sweets and some soy milk...

When gaming (in the evening) I prefer alcohol... It gives me a boost till a certain point (might be due to my
odd & unpredictable behaviour in FPS games, when "on alcohol"..)...lol... after that I usually become a
"moving target"... hehehe...

Note.. this is with FPS games... with other games, a hot cup of chocolate works miracles!

I can stay up for 4 days without any caffine, however when it comes to gaming I like the nice cold taste of jolt or mountain dew to keep me relaxed, So I can get all those headshots.

I need caffiene for everything. Work, driving, handling heavy machinery with medication saying I shouldn't, and even sleeping demands caffeine. The best moment will always be that 5th cup of coffee or 3 mocha were you're entire body just fidgets.
