Yesterday I picked up a tin of Penguin brand caffeinated peppermints. I tend to eat mints like candy (even Altoids, which leaves my mouth feeling wierd the next day), and drink Mountain Dew like water. My caffeine addiction sometimes gets to be such that when I sleep, I wake up tired due to prolonged lack of caffeine. Mints and caffeine in one is like mana from heaven for me. Plus, the tin they come in is really cool looking.
