What form does caffeine come in? Like, is it a solid? Could it be packaged like sugar packets so you could add it into whatever drink you wanted, or sprinkle it over your cereal? Because man, I could use summa dat today.

like many of the great things in life..
its a white powder.

Well good. Then they should package it in individual packets and sell it. Because I don't like coffee and I don't have a dollar for Diet Pepsi and I'm going to fall asleep at my desk.

keep in mind that if i recall correctly, a sugar packet sized dose of caffeine will stop the heart of a good percentage of people, and the rest will become utterly useless in most situations.

Well, maybe tiny packets then. There HAS to be a way to market this.

I say find something to mix it with, make sugar cube or packet sized doses of diluted caffeine. Say two packets for one cup of coffee (one packet for a coke). That way people can self dose as they wish, without having to worry about an abnormally small amount of powder.
Is there any way to prevent overdose? Someone will end up doing so if its marketed in america.

As mentioned, white powder. Pure caffeine tastes like hell, though, as far as I know. I had to drink a concoction of caffeine and water as part of a study I was in, and it tasted whoo bad. Very bitter. Though I didn't drink coffee then, so my view may be skewed.

That and some dumbass would eat an entire shaker and make his heart explode, no doubt.

Apart from that... yay.

You can get Vivarin, if you really want a jolt... One tab is equivalent to two cups of coffee, so don't do what my friend did and take four at once.

Caffeine in its pure form is a white solid, but it's poisonous in high doses.

This is over the counter, yah? I may have to check that out. I'm just unusually tired today.

Yup. Known and loved by college students the world over.

Don't wash it down with coffee, either, like my friend did. How she peeled herself off the ceiling, I'll never know.

Heh. The only experience I've had with no-sleep pills was Freshman year in college, staying up all night to write my geology paper. I still like my individual packet idea though. They could be SMALL packets! :)

Mmm.... the happy yellow pills.

Yeah. No more that two at a time. Or it hurts.

[cheekybaby.livejournal.com]

Wow. I think you just became my personal hero. I'd sprinkle caffeine in my coffee, along with the Splenda. :)

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

See, that's the thing - I don't like coffee! My office gives us coffee and tea and cocoa free, but I need a burst de energy that only soda can provide and lo, I need my ones for the strip club for the parking machine.

Think of the possibilities!

Oh, and thought I'd point this out to you n stuff: http://www.cnn.com/2005/HEALTH/diet.fitness/01/03/weight.loss.programs.ap/index.html

That news is all over ww_users today. They're all really happy. :) But thanks, I didn't get a chance to read the article yet.


Mmm....sprinkleable caffeine. I wonder how many points that'd be. :)

There are a few brands of mints out now that contain half a cola's worth of caffeine in 'em. Popping Penguin mints was the only way I esceped Sophomore year with a decent grade.
