They definitely have. I've seen caffeinated cheese, popcorn, jelly beans, chips, chocolate, and the list just goes on and on for like a mile.

Hell, they've been selling caffeinated soaps and other beauty products for years now.

You can buy caffeinated gum off Amazon. It was really nice for boring afternoons at work before I got my insomnia under control.

Scho-Ka-Kola (for Schokolade–Kaffee–Kolanuss) was created in 1935 and patented by the Hildebrand, Kakao- und Schokoladenfabrik manufacturer, established by chocolatier Theodor Hildebrand (1791-1854) in Alt-Berlin. It was introduced at the 1936 Summer Olympics as a performance-enhancing energy "Sport Chocolate" (German Sportschokolade). It was also produced by the chocolate manufacturer B. Sprengel & Co. in Hannover, who in 1936 was recognized as an important pre-war economy operation, as well as produced by other German chocolate manufacturers.

This was actually a pretty popular addition to World War II German rations, and ironically ended up becoming somewhat dreaded: handing out chocolate was a common morale booster before a dangerous operation.

I bought the red (dark chocolate) and blue (milk chocolate) cans to try out. I prefer milk chocolate normally, but the dark chocolate works best with the coffee flavor. It tastes exactly like you'd expect: dark chocolate with coffee.

Also chocolate doesnt really need to be caffeineated considering all the theobromine to be found in a good dark.

(ie not hershey/alkaline process choc)

I have used the Shower Shock caffeinated soap. Not sure if it was the caffeine, or the bracing peppermint added to it, but it did give me a pick me up. Kind of interested in a caffeinated jerky...

It was psychosomatic. While you do absorb caffeine through your skin, it is in negligible amounts.

There's a guy in town you can hire to slow-cook your pig in ground for luau style action. He is awesome (but expensive).

It's a photoshop, zotter is a modern chocolate brand known for unusual flavours and "Panzerschokolade" was what soldiers called their meth pills.

It's a misnomer. Uncured bacon just means bacon cured in an 'organic' fashion, and usually with even more salt than normal bacon.

The institute’s military nutrition division is looking for 60 volunteers to try the vacuum-sealed food and drink consumed by soldiers in the field. Researchers are studying how the Army’s MREs affect digestive bacteria, called gut bacteria, that may benefit overall health and fight food poisoning,

Study participants will be able to choose among offerings like “canteen Irish cream latte,” “Bunker Hill burritos,” and “Fort Bliss-ful pudding cake.” Army dietician Adrienne Hatch told the Times she has heard some bad things about MREs from troops but “working with this cookbook project has shown me a lot about what the MRE can offer.”

Uncured is maybe the one term that means anything important with bacon, in that it is totally nitrite free, and potentially preserved by smoking or added salt. Organic cured bacon, or cured with no added nitrites, is the bullshit term that we will probably see small print showing up on labels now that the WHOs come out and called nitrites cancer causing because their trick is to ferment nitrites with an organic ingredient like celery salt, which will often over cure it anyway and give you a bigger dose than just adding a measured amount of scary chemicals.

I would say bacons identity is the cut more than the curing or preserving process.

Let's go see what kind of trouble we can get into.
Yesterday was payday, and I spotted these in the store. They'd been sitting there for well over a month untouched and I figured gently caress it, let's see how bad they really are.



The sweet corn one might not be a complete failure, I thought. Corn is sweet and so is soda, so maybe the flavors would work?

It smelled like canned corn, overwhelmingly sweet and like a sickly reminder of having to choke down overcooked, gummy loose corn at family dinners. The flavor was actually worse, like the entire thing had been pureed with an entire cup of sugar.

Weirdly enough, the bacon one wasn't as bad as it could have been. Maybe my standards have been lowered by all the lovely fake bacon flavoring that's out there. It was like weirdly sweet soda with a strange, smokey aftertaste; not delicious in any sense of the word, but it didn't taste like carbonated bacon bits.

I poured both down the sink.

I would think the minute chance of cancer from nitrates is better than a much greater chance of food poisoning.
