People know coffee is caffeinated and they'll generally buy one cup at a time, water it down with milk or cream and ice, and then nurse that one cup over the course of a morning.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

Apparently NZ says "jandals" because some company trademarked the shortening of "Japanese sandals" for a while which is even more bewildering.

Nippon slip-ons.




In the 80's, New Zealand's Auckland Harbour Bridge was widened by attaching lanes on the outside. They were manufactured in Japan and were consequently dubbed the "Nippon Clip-ons".

Today I learned that the godawful Logan Paul / KSI "Prime" energy drinks had been banned in New Zealand due to having too much caffeine (260mg+), however NZ schoolkids are paying through the nose to obtain contraband ones, and kids are even buying empty cans for playground clout.

I’m guessing kids more buy empty cans because they think you can use them as a prop to sell fake prime

Or homeopathic prime

You give them too much credit.

So there's a non-banned version of Prime called Prime Refresh or something which has no caffeine. It looks similar but does nothing, so in that sense it's Homeopathic Prime, and kids are demanding pocket money to buy that too in the hopes of looking like they've got the hardcore one.

I knew a kid who remelted hershey bars into a mold and sold them for 2x what he got them for on the playground. And I worked at multiple bars where we had to break any bottles we emptied or the owner would try to refill them with cheaper liquor. I give small business owners and their children about the same level of credit.

Don't worry, once our new gov finishes making smoking legal again I'm sure letting kids have insane levels of caffeine will be next on the list.

But no phones in schools, that would be too distracting and bad for their health.

Wait until they learn about the Lewis Road Creamery coffee milk that has 285mg/bottle (300mL).

"lemonade" is the subject on the first horizontal line with the adjective "the" dangling from it. "that kills you" is a subordinate adjective clause with a relative pronoun and gets it's own horizontal track below the independent clause and is connected with a dashed vertical line.

If we're being real i basically only drink coffee. All day, like 35 cups of coffee, from the minute i get up until the minute i lay down.

Because some people haven't built up a tolerance from chronic use? Like, I can do fine without drinking caffeine, but I assume you'd be pretty miserable if you tried to go a couple days without it.
