Decaf? Never! When you feel that caffeine high wearing off, there’s only one thing to do. Refill. Grab another cup and repeat the cycle over and over and over. Caffeine’s a hell of a drug.
Can you always use some more caffeine, even if you’ve just finished a large espresso? Have your addiction printed onto a t-shirt for $19.95.
Meet Perky Jerky, the complete performance enhancing meat. Caffeinated via the addition of Guarana, you won’t even need your morning coffee to get that extra perk, though of course you’ll still take it, you friggen’ fiend.
Feeeeelin’ perky, oh, so perky. Just feel these nipples!
I’m sort of an odd breed of geek. I haven’t drank a significant amount of caffeine, meaning more than a sip of Coke, in more than two years. I know that most of you probably down energy drinks like they’re water, so you might like to see this visual representation of the ratio between caffeine and calories for certain favorite foods and beverages.
The Buzz versus The Bulge chart illustrates that geeks don’t always make the smartest decision, calorie wise. Unless your downing iced coffee as your main source of caffeine you’re probably downing more calories than you think. And you, fatty, drop the Hazlenut Mocha.
It’s late at night and your World of Warcraft raid just started. You’re tired and know the only way you’re getting those sweet, sweet epics is to gulp caffeine until your stomach hurts. Instead of reaching for the standard fare, like Red Bull, why not give Pepsi a try? I’m not talking about your standard Pepsi here, I’m talking about Pepsi Natural.
Pepsi Natural is a new initiative from Pepsi that brings back the classic glass bottles that our parents often reminisce about. Additionally, ingredients include pure cane sugar, sparkling water and kola nut extract. No high-fructose corn syrup for us, thanks very much. It’s a different taste for sure, but one that most people will find surprisingly refreshing. Now all that’s left is to score a free case from Pepsi. Pepsi, are you listening? Send over some chips and a few bottles and we’ll be square.
I bet you’re wondering what happened to the lens that was replaced with a Pringles can for that DIY project posted the other day. Turns out, that lens turned up on the Internet as a coffee mug.
Express your love of photography and caffeine simultaneously as you pour your daily Colombian coffee into this camera lens. Unfortunately, it’s just a concept and has yet to be realized but, now that you’ve seen it, perhaps you can make your own?
Hackers are a different breed of humans. They’re not into vanilla cola or Red Bull energy drinks. They stay away from the mainstream bullshit and rarely leave their router-filled lairs. This is why a drink like Club-Mate (pronounced “Klub Mah-Tay”) is not only the drink of choice here at the Last HOPE Conference, but it’s also a big hit with the hacker crowd in Germany.
We bought one for four bucks, which is a reasonable price considering the size of this thing, but after trying it, we realized we prefer beer. And while the bottle claims it’s an acquired taste with “You get used to it!” printed on the label, we still prefer beer more! Beer is flavorful and makes all the ugly chicks look gorgeous. All that Club-Mate does is pump your body full of caffeine and make you twitch while you hunch over a computer. Like I said, great for hackers.
People are so busy these days, even a simple task such as stirring a cup of java can delay them precious seconds. The Self Stirring Mug stirs while you multi-task any other project your working on. Your dose of caffeine is then ready for consumption, without even the smallest effort put into stirring.
With a liquid capacity of 16 oz, the outer layer of the mug is made of stainless steel, while the inside is made of plastic, as to not scald your skin off when you pick it up. It also comes with a splash proof travel lid. And for the very reasonable price of £12.49 ($16.39), you can buy one yourself. — Andrew Dobrow
