    Wow, I can't believe people would eat this packaged garbage. I know back when I was a tubby young office worker I would happily much down on heavily preservative laden foods but now just looking at these makes me ill.

    Still, I do loves my Diet Pepsi.

    Not to nitpick, but phenylalanine is not aspartame. It's an amino acid, and it's definitely found in aspartame (as well as a bunch of other things.)

    I need to go make coffee now. Damn all the coffee talk this week, it's all I can think about.

    Good read. Now back to my piping hot cup of psychoactive substance.

    You mention caffeine pills, and you leave out Jessie Spanno from Saved By The Bell? How could you? She's soooo excited!

    I use the penguin mints seen in the first picture. But mainly my caffeine comes from caffeine pills, soda, and espresso. Eat more fiber and the runs will go away.

    @appletoad: I read too quickly, and saw "Eat more fiber and the nuns will go away" which, coupled with your "penguin" reference, had me extremely confused.

    I'm only on my third cup of coffee...

    @echodubs: It would fit well with a "Going Green" theme. I'm curious to see the related gadgetry. Is there a Yanko high tech concept bong, or perhaps a Brando USB bong?

    Good stuff man. I have to agree with you that artificial sweeteners do SUCK. They rip my stomach up and induce instant headaches for me, so I stay away from them. As far as the caffeinated products the suckers and cookies are about the only ones that sounded even half-good. Those penguin mints are "OK" but meh. Great article though!

    Great article. I've always wondered how effective the caffeine "supplements" are. I routinely drink copious amounts of coffee, so for the most part I'm maintaining, rather than invigorating, myself. Perhaps the gum would help me kick the coffee addiction, in the way Nicorette gum would help to quit smoking? Worst case scenario: I'm consuming ten packs of gum per day, along with 24 cups of coffee. Yikes.

    @met2art: unless you're hitting Starbucks daily, the gum addiction is going to cost you a pretty penny more.

    @RenegadeIrishman_IsFullOfStars: It's not an issue of cost. It's an issue of having too much caffeine in my system consistently. However, sudden withdrawal leads to headaches, and other uncomfortable issues. Switching to decaf and using the gum judiciously seems like it could work.
