Dipshit OD's on Caffeine

[ChrisS]

Party-goer killed by 2 spoonfuls of caffeine powder - equivalent to 70 Red Bulls | Mail Online

This article indirectly harps on the Internet as being the culprit here. Yeah let's ban the Internet and caffeine because of this brain-dead wanker.

The sad part is that the company that sold him the powder will probably get sued successfully for millions plus the FDA will ban powdered caffeine etc etc.

Fucking moron. If they start restricting caffeine because of this I will piss on this asshole's grave.

You truly do have to be remarkably stupid to do this, because it's the same as pointing a loaded gun at your head.

Couple years ago, there was a competition for like a Nintendo Wii or something, and to win it; you had to drink more water than your competition. This one woman wanted to win the Wii for her children, and was competing against some dude, and deep into the round, she went unconscious and dead.

Sad shit, I think the doctors said that she had like 8x more water in her system that she should have had.

this is no different then taking 1000 tylenols and shutting down your liver. they keep stating how easily it is obtained on the internet, but you can walk into a walmart and buy a 100 count bottle of 200mg caffeine pills for a just a couple bucks.

 

[AllBizNiz]

Holy fuck. I wonder if dealers cut that shit into a satch of blow.

Tylenol is not to be messed with. You could kill yourself with A LOT less than 1,000... probably a lot less than 100 even.

In high school there was this chick that had some serious bi-polar issues. Freshman year she took 40 Tylenol and her liver almost shut down but she was taken to the hospital in time.

Year after that she took 60 and killed herself. Doctors said that after 60 were ingested it didn't matter if she was in the hospital taking them there was nothing they could do.

So 50-70 is probably about as much a human can handle.

I don't know... is there any reason to be selling powdered caffeine?

If you wanted to kill someone, mix in 2 spoonfuls in some Tang or some shit, bada bing, bada bang, dey dead.

Haha was my first thought.

I guess it's cheaper... and since they know consumers compare prices down to each dollar they probably cut a few bucks in production costs by not having capsules and selling it in raw powder.

Weird... I learned about people dying from too much water on rave parties since some drink too much water to compensate for rapid dehydration.

Same reason they sell other supplements in powder form. People make their own capsules and shit. Also trying to poison someone with caffeine is super impractical. It tastes like shit in its raw form and it'd be obvious the drink was fucked with. Better to go with anti-freeze over a couple week period.

Tangs the shit. But I think drinking just tang might kill you, its like $1 here for a huge ass box. Its like kool-aid with some added kick. IF you ever go hiking just take a huge ass jug and mix it with tang. You will get jacked.

Put it in their coffee. Deadly coffee.
