On one hand, the dude is grossly misrepresenting his product. While everything in the advertisement is completely factual, the way its presented is obviously an attempt to make the product look like an RC stimulant.
On the other hand, he's charging a dollar for it.($2.50 including domestic shipping)
I'm not sure if this is meant to be facetious, although I'm starting to lean that way...
Edit: Wasn't sure where this thread belonged, figured this would be the best bet.

It may be a satire of the dihydrogen monoxide sort. Either way I am fairly amused at the thought of insufflating a cup of coffee as it has the same amount of caffeine as his recommend dose and costs the same from the local diner :)

I thought a cup of coffee was more like 100mg? A 12oz can of Mountain Dew only has 54mg.

Have to be careful with DHMO, inhalation can cause death.
Caffeine and Xanax can be a decent time.

IIRC standard cup of instant coffee is about 30mg caffeine, a medium starbucks is about 60mg.

Regular sizes are somewhere around 200mg per cup. You guys got me worried for a second, I dose 300mg caffeine powder in the mornings and I had to verify that it wasn't the equivalent of 10 cups :)

20 ounces! Lol that is so much larger than a coffee cup! ;D

Ah, Starbucks, with its over-stuffed brewing technique used to jack up caffeine content and unmask migraine and atrial fibrillation in the unwary. :D
A medium SB -drip- coffee is more than 60 mg, I'm thinking - the -tall- is 260 mg @12oz. [Do they even sell a 'medium' any more? I haven't been in there in a long time.]
Their espresso drinks are more in line with usual doses.
The Folgers Instant on that list is pretty shocking though, I have more respect for it now.
See, now, with that insufflation comment, now I can't stop thinking about the neti pot guy on youtube...
I'll stick with my current caffeine delivery method, thanks. :D

I started down the pure caffeine route after reading some of what was written at the bulletproof executive blog about types of mold that grew on most industrially processed coffee. Take his stuff with a grain of salt, but I could feel a significant improvement within a week of switching from three or four mugs of shitty office coffee to anhydrous powder in a capsule.

I absolutely love coffee and now I can drink it for pleasure when I find a good cup instead of suffering through black tar sludge just for a stimulant every day.

Caffeine is a very addictive drug with shitty withdrawals. :(
-
I haven't found it to be so, at least in pure form. I very frequently go cold turkey for anywhere from three to 14 days while traveling and avoid it on the weekends as well with no ill effects whatsoever.
I'm always happy to hear of something better though so if anyone has any recommendations for a functional stimulant that won't break the bank for daily usage I'm all ears.

If you arent already familiar with it, check out Joe Rogan's podcast about 2 months ago when he interviewed the guy that started the Bulletproof stuff.
It was a really good interview--very educational.
He has some really disturbing statistics about "normal" coffee.
Turned me onto bullet proof coffee, for sure. I havent tried the butter and salt thing, yet, though.

I concur.

Regarding my figures: cup sizes could vary in different countries. My info came from a report sitting on my GP's desk a few months ago(he was doing some admin stuff, I was bored as hell.)
-

100% correcto. Without a cup of coffee per day I get thee worst headache which ends in puking. :-\ I cannot go cold turkey. I HAVE to titrate off the coffee over 3 months. Round two - Day 2 and counting.... :)

So I hear this all the time regarding caffeine and also directed at others about various drugs. I never expected to hear that kind of judgement here considering the stated ideal of harm reduction. It just seems odd to hear a condemnation of something like caffeine on a site that supports sales of crack and heroin.
The vast majority of my country self medicates with caffeine. It has negative effects, fairly substantial ones in some cases. I don't think anyone disagrees or does not understand this to be true.
I have a health condition that absolutely requires a daily stimulant in order to be functional/productive at work. I would love to find an alternative to caffeine but every single doctor and knowledgeable person I have ever talked to responds with a negation of the entire idea rather than the least-worst option.
I'll reiterate my statement from above: if anyone has suggestions for a less harmful stimulant for controlled daily use that will not be financially prohibitive then lay it on me.

I think it's good to know exactly what you're dealing with when choosing your DOC. My angle is not to down caffeine, but that it's disturbing how so few people realize the ramifications of frequent caffeine consumption - for *some* people - and it's accepted to be as benign as OJ. I wish. I know I'm on the unfortunate end of the scale... :-\
But... apparently raw cacao is also a mild stimulant (with it's lesser quantity of a different xanthine chain - theobromine) and much better for your adrenals... mmmm chocolate! :D
