If you're like me, it's hard to get moving in the morning before you've had your morning coffee. You need that jolt of caffeine to get the cobwebs out. Sometimes caffienated soft drinks can be substituted in a pinch, but who wants to drink 3-4 cans of soda in the morning to equal one cup of coffee? It's just too dilute, not to mention the complete lack of the sensual steamy goodness of a nice hot cup of coffee.
For me, nothing beats coffee, but there are alternatives. As I said, soda is generally easy to come by. In addition, many "energy drinks" on the market have caffeine levels approaching coffee. What does a caffeine addict do, however, when carrying or consuming drinks is not practical? A variety of caffienated candies have come onto the market for just that reason. I tried my first caffienated candy (excluding chocolate) several years ago. I was in the check out line in a book store when I spied a dapper looking little tin of mints, similar in size to an altoids tin. It had a penguin on the front, with white and yellow stripes bursting radially from the penguin's location at the center of the hinged lid. As a coffee user and and an altoid user, I was excited by the combination. I soon found, however, that the levels of caffeine were much too low to get the kind of lift I was looking for without constant mint-sucking.
Fast forward to several days ago. I was in a computer super-center waiting for a friend who was picking up some "free with rebate" merchandise. Next to the register was a display of small blue tins with the name "Bawls" printed on the front. It's a name that is well known in geek circles as a strong pick-me-up soft drink. The candy on the shelf advertized itself as "highly caffeinated", so I decided to give it a try. The "mints" which actually tasted more like sweet tarts, were slightly fizzy. They were tasty, but I suspected that the "highly caffeinated" claim was a little exaggerated.
Once again, a quick web search revealed all the answers. The penguin mints, whose potency I had been less than impressed with actually contained 7mg of caffeine per piece, compared with 5mg per candy in the bawls mints. The bawls mints, however, had a flavor that may be more conducive to chain-eating.
So what? My conclusion is that these caffeinated candies are OK for actual, caffeine intake, but only if eaten in large numbers. I suppose they are also a neat novelty, and the "highly caffeinated" claim enhances the placebo effect. As an alternative, however, for a potent "dry" caffeine source try chocolate covered espresso beans. Do be careful, though. Only you are responsible for what you put into your body and what happens when you do. It is much too easy to eat too many of these tasty treats for your own good, as I found out after a visit to Hershey's Chocolate World. Be safe, and enjoy.

24 Aug 2007, Sat: Went (first time) to Kokusai-tenjijo-seimon at "Big Sight" to see what it can offer me. So this is it! Huge!
Second prototype archery sight developed by Rein-o-King Industries under the company name TAS or Tactical Archery Systems. This is a revolutionary bow sight that uses reflex technology to project the pins onto a lens and by doing so gives the user point of impact tracking which will give the shooter instant feedback to weather he/she is having any bow torque or changes in anchor point. This sight can also eliminate the need for a peep sight or alows the shooter to look around the peep if there is any peep turn during full draw. Look for this sight to be on the market by next archery season.
