OT - Caffinated Soap |
Anybody here tried the soap with caffeine in it? It's supposed to
give you a caffeine boost in the shower, similar to that first cup of
coffee in the morning.

That's what's used to knock out the frogs before you cut 'em open,
that is, if the students are lucky enough to get live frogs instead of
pickled ones. :-)

Doh! Of course. We only had the pickled ones, never had to put a

In Thailand, that would not be a biology but a cooking class.
Yummie! Pickled frogs with chili!
Some entrepreneurs even can them, and ship them to France. Anybody
interested in canned frogs with (LOTS of) chili and garlic?

I'm somewhat curious. How much of a frog is edible? You mentioning
frogs with chili brings to mind an image of a huge granite stew pot,
red juices bubbling and heating and as it's stirred, the occasional
"greenback" churning to the surface as the cook stirs the pot with a
ladle... <lipsmack> ;-)

I think it's more like which parts you don't find disgusting or can't
bring yourself to eat. I'll bet you'd eat the whole thing if you were
starving or hungry enough.

Except at Christmas when the red and green look festive.
This made me think of the National Lampoon (?) cartoon showing a fancy

Near the kitchen door is a frog with no legs on a wheeled platform looking

No, I'm cool with the lobsters (though perhaps not in a red sauce) - The idea of
parboiled frogs is what grossed me out ;)

I really have no idea. I have eaten a few cans, and it tastes good.
Very spicy, mind you. No bones, no skin.

Caffeine is not something that gets absorbed through the skin. Such a

What about caffeine anhydrous?
That, I'm not familiar with.
I notice the people who make it also sell jolt caffeinated gum. :-)
http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/candy/5b96/
Like most drug-vehicle gums, the caffeine is probably released in to your
saliva as you chew; you swallow the saliva and voila! You have ingested the
caffeine, just like you would if you drank a caffeinated beverage :-)
I expect the "two years of research" was in how to cover up caffeine's
taste, and not in creating the delivery system.

The veins under your tongue can absorb certain chemicals faster than
swallowing them, iirc. Don't people who take nitro-glycerin tabs for
heart problems put them under their tongues?
I expect the "two years of research" was in how to cover up caffeine's
taste, and not in creating the delivery system.
It's probably only a matter of time before someone markets a caffeine
gum with nicotine added for more of a boost, if they haven't already.

Caffeine is not something that gets absorbed through the skin. Such
a soap is nothing more than a marketing ploy.
What about caffeine anhydrous?
That, I'm not familiar with.
Me either.
I notice the people who make it also sell jolt caffeinated gum. :-)

Like most drug-vehicle gums, the caffeine is probably released in to
your saliva as you chew; you swallow the saliva and voila! You have
ingested the caffeine, just like you would if you drank a caffeinated
beverage :-)
The veins under your tongue can absorb certain chemicals faster than
swallowing them, iirc. Don't people who take nitro-glycerin tabs for
heart problems put them under their tongues?
Lots of meds can be taken like that. It works the same way in the other
end also. According to some of the drug labels (Ativan for one) in the
hospice kit that was given to my dad.
IANAD but I think the drugs are absorbed under the tongue the same way as
in the stomach/intestine. I would imagine the taste of a lot of drugs is
what gets in the way useing them like that.

I can't speak for nitro-glycerin tabs,
but that's how one usually absorbs
LSD. . . looks around, at least that's
what people have told me as I would
have no first hand knowledge, of
course.

Of course. :-)
I tried Skoal tobacco a few times when I was younger, and got a
damn good buzz from just a pinch between my lower cheek and
gum. Had to sit down the first few times to keep from falling down.
Never swallowed any of the juice, but still got some heavy noticable
effects just from putting it in my gums.

Considering how effectively cocaine and heroin can be absorbed intra
nasally, I wouldn't be surprised if the skin can absorb caffeine.
(Also, part of the reason for avoiding contact with pesticides,
herbicides, solvents etc, is absorbtion.)
But I wonder just how concentrated the caffeine would have to be, and
how it may affect skin diseases, eyes and other sensitive parts of the
body.
How about a Valium bathing powder for that relaxing bath b/4 bed?
