Does anyone know how much caffine it takes to kill a person? I found these things called Penguin Caffinated Mints (sort of like Aloitds that leave you a little wired), and I wanted to know the most powerful, non-lethal buzz I could give myself (or someone else).

Assume the person is 150 pounds. Three mints have the caffine of a bottle of cola. Maybe I could soak them in Jolt first?

Well, all the mint would probably rot your stomach out before you OD on caffine.

Not to mention the laxative effect of consuming large quantities of mints...

I'm just a bit curious, why exactly do they call them penguin pills? Do pengins take them and thats why you always see them bouncing around, or do they grind up pengins in an evil scheme to make us addicted to penguin? Maybe i just think to much and i am a bit demented, no that's the journalist's job.

I've had penguin mints before. I dunno, they were ok. Not much to them. I guess if you ate enough, but at that, why not just have an espresso?

If you don't feel like ordering them online (you can also get them at [url="http://"http://www.thinkgeek.com"]www.thinkgeek.com[/url] for that matter) you can find them in retail stores such as Commander Salamander, Urban Outfitters, and Hudson Trail Outfitters depending on where you are. A couple years ago I used to drive into Georgetown to hit Commander Salamander just to stock up every couple of months, now I just go to the mall and get them at Hudson Trail. Good things for road trips in that they keep you awake and keep your breath minty fresh.

I'm opposed to penguin pills, because penguins are beautiful creatures.

A truly beautiful way to take medication is to have it breathed in. Unfortunately, most of it ends up going to the lungs.

New information: They are also found at the home store Bed, Bath, and Beyond near the registers as an impulse buy.

Probably because coffee is one of the few things I refuse to drink even when I have nothing else to drink. Can't stand the taste, aftertaste, texture, smell, or anything else about it.
