Caffeine and Jello

Being a big soda drinker, particularly for the caffeine, I have often wished that there would be a clear soda with caffeine that would stay on the market for more than a couple of months. This way I could drink soda without the damaging effects of the dies in the soda. I still haven't found that and I'm not really sure why it hasn't taken off, but I did find a way that I could make caffeine Jello shots by buying caffeine powder, should I desire. I have no plans of actually doing this, but I did find it interesting because I could, in theory, take one of the clear sodas and add my own caffeine to it. I found the descriptions of the effects of caffeine quite interesting:

* 50mg- Mild energy rush. About equal to the caffeine in a can of cola.
* 100mg- Enough energy for 80's dance night. Equals about a 2 ounce espresso.
* 200mg- Same dose as in 2.5 cans of Red Bull.
* 300mg- Twitching starts. Jello shots begin to taste very bitter.
* 400mg- Feelings of hopelessness set in. Not recommended to go past this point.

Please remember that it *is* possible to overdose on caffeine and have it kill you. It may take quite a bit with drinking soda, but with stuff like this, it could be very easy.

Getting a pool full of Jello and squirrels (a moose will work, but squirrels work better), well, that's a different story... :)
