For me? 286 cans of Diet Mountain Dew. Want scary? Check out Red Bull… that’s a lot, but with those tiny cans it’s less than you’d think…

  1. Death by chocolate…

    It would take 238.88 cups of Starbucks Grande Caffe Mocha. or It would take 491.80 cans of Coca-Cola Classic to put me down.

    on the other hand,

    The 539.40 Hershey’s Special Dark bars might be the better way to go…

    1. Not good…

      Can this be right? ‘After 30.71 cups of Starbucks Grande Coffee, you’d be pushing up daisies!’ 30 cups? Are they talking 30 Grande servings, or 30 cups specifically, because I have to think that the Grande serving is at least a cup and a half.

      So what’s worse about regular coffee as opposed to Jon’s Mocha that would do me in faster?

      What’s not good? I’ve been known to pound S’bucks coffee as if it were going out of style. Not sure I could manage 30 cups all at once, though I’d be willing to try.

      1. Starbucks Grande Coffee

        They mean 30 servings, which are 16oz and boast 550mg of caffeine apiece! It looks like they are calculating at about 75mg/lb of body weight as your caffeine tolerance before death. Starbucks coffee (the regular percolated kind) is over 250mg of caffeine per serving. I remember reading an article some time ago that this is almost twice as much caffeine per serving as competing coffee joints… thus the popularity of Starbucks, and the peculiarly bitter flavor.

        A bit like the beans were roasted with a flamethrower with just a touch of added kerosene for flavor.

        1. You say kerosene, I say ‘delicious!’

          Not that the flavor doesn’t get to me sometimes, but whatever it is that they are spiking the beans with, it works for me. I’m at the point of chemical dependency with coffee, and I’ve found that if it’s not bitter, because of how Starbucks’ brand has so effected my taste now, that I can’t enjoy other brands. It comes across as just weak, brown water.

          All this talk of coffee reminded me that it’s time for my afternoon dosing.
