I've started brewing my own beer!
I figured if I have beer and caffeine pages, I need some notes on tea.
At Ratri's prompting/insistance, here it is: Morrigu's Wish List!
My thoughts on Caffeine
I've been working in IT for long enough to have developed a deep relationship with caffeine. When you can get woken up pretty much any time, day or night, year round, and have to be awake and alert enough to support the systems that your office relies upon, you begin to realize the value of stimulants. Before touching a system I'm responsible for I want to make sure that I'm alert enough to not make any horrible mistakes. Towards that end, I've been trying various products offered on ThinkGeek. Here's the list of what I've ordered and tried, and what I think of these products:
Caffeinated "Magic" brownie mix ($13.99): Simple brownie mix with coffee bean chunks in it. Reasonably tasty mocha flavor, but the crunchy bits are a turn-off to me.
Blood Caffeinated Energy Potions ($4.99 ea, $15.99/4): Tasty, a little sweet, fruit punch, with an appropriately metallic aftertaste. Got the first one free, I'll be paying for the next. ;)
Mana Potions ($19.95/6): Taste nasty, and have varied reactions. If they work for you, they're great. If not, they're too expensive.
Diablo Energy Strips ($2.99/18 strips): Taste pretty good, and are a nice sugar-free pick me up. Well worth the low price.
Oral Fixation Night Light chai mints ($2.99/pack): Tasty, but low on the caffiene. If you like cinnamon mints, they're pretty good.
BuzzStrong Cookies ($4.99/dozen): Chocolate chip coffee cookies. Pretty tasty, but too heavy for anything but a snack.
ShowerShock soap ($6.99): It's like showering with that first sip of coffee in the morning. I'm ordering a case.
VoJo Energy Mints w/Guarana ($3.99): Little mints in a case with a mirror and small rectangle of paper inside. Not enough caffeine to notice, but they're tasty.
Caffeinated Nixie Tubes ($8.99/pack of 5): These are sort of like pixie sticks, but in plastic test tubes and with caffeine. Some taste horrible, others are pretty good, but in general I think they're more gimmick than anything else.

I don't know who drew the picture on this page, but I seem to remember getting it from somewhere on the maille artisans web page. I just think it's pretty. -Morrigu 23:58, 12 Nov 2004 (EST)
