Title: Swiss Miss 'Pick Me Up'
Post by: Slide Panda on June 10, 2008, 10:22:41 AM
Ok so this stuff might not be new, but it caught my eye while getting some lunch at the grocery

Swiss Miss has a new Hot Choc labeled 'Pick Me Up'.  I took a closer look our of curiosity.  The finer print read 'As much caffeine as a cup of coffee '.  Huh well danm, look at that.

So for those of your who don't like coffee, but demand that caffeine fix there's yet another option.

Anyone have FHE with it?  I used to make 'ghetto mochas' at my old job since the hot choc would cover the taste of the wretched free coffee there... wonder hot this sizes up.

I'd try it. When I worked at Trader Joe's they had a caffeinated water that come in a sports bottle for a quarter. Damn good water and I'd be tweaking for hours.

Huh, never tried that.

I have been known to make a cup of hot chocolate with our wretched office coffee, all the sugar twice the caffeine  [drink]

I've lately become addicted to Java Monster Mean Bean or Lo Ball [evil] 

Hmmm... Java Monster - Official Drink of the DMF?  [cheeky]

What gives me the best fix is Peaberry's Cola Bear - Coke with a couple shots of espresso.   [thumbsup]

Your Stok shots are weak sauce. Potent for volume, yes, but not a lot of caffeine over all.

Old News (http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0876/is_91/ai_n14939663)

A lot of times I'll just dump a hot cocoa packet into a cup of coffee rather than mixing in milk and sugar.

Far easier on a not-quite-conscious brain.

The other day, in a fit of impatience, I mixed two of those (because two is the daily limit, amirite?) with one of these:

...in a cup, and drank it.  It tasted like yak anus.  But it had caffeine in it, unlike...well, nevermind.
