Weaponized Caffeine: a warning, February 19, 2009
Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars
I bought this as a joke, and because I knew I was going to need some caffeine in my system over the weekend. I've downed Bawls of every flavor without issue, and generally don't really get buzzed by caffeine.
But this stuff... this stuff is unique. First of all, while the bottle is pretty, it is the nastiest, most disgusting taste I have ever had the misfortune to let near my mouth. I instantly regretted the cough syrup like drink. Thick, dank, and putrid it slid down my throat and settled in my stomach like a stone lump.
And there it sat, oozing and slithering, until it finally hit my system.
I felt like I had gone from zero to sixty in less than a second. No, there was no gradual build up of energy, there was nothing, and then there was everything! I was twitching, insane almost, desperate to do anything and everything at once. Raid MC, knit a pair of socks, learn three foreign languages at the same time, watch all of Firefly, chat with friends, write a letter to dear grandmama, study calculus, program my own dungeon, and then I crashed.
It was like hitting a brick wall while rolling down a hill in a garbage can. There was too much energy, and then none at all. Uncontrolled explosions in my system followed by an oxygen vent to finally put them out, and the crew dying a fast and miserable death.
If you think the concept of the Mana potion is cool, then buy one. It is pretty, and it is a cool thing to look at. But be warned, this stuff is the closest thing to weaponized caffeine I have ever experienced in my life. From now on I'm sticking to Bawls, and staying away from little bottles that all but scream 'drink me'.
