Not for the faint of heart...
I bought one of these off of a co-worker this morning after he posted a picture of a can on social media last night. Something about the words "very strong stimulants" got my immediate and undivided attention. To be perfectly fair, my first experience with this was not exactly a fair one as I had drunk a Monster before coming into work. Something about ingesting 480mg of caffeine seemed like a great idea at the time. I'll try to do a timeline as best I can remember.<br /><br />T-00:00 - I open Spike Shooter and take a sip. It actually tastes pretty good. I can't remember what it tastes like now because that feels like a lifetime ago but I remember it being pleasant.<br /><br />T+00:30 - I definitely feel some jitters and the urge to talk more. Usually I'm a pretty succinct person but at this point I feel the need to pack conversation with additional words I usually deem unnecessary. I start using a manual surface grinder and notice that my rhythm and reflexes are much improved.<br /><br />T+01:00 HOLY COW I'M TOTALLY GOING SO FAST I CAN GET ALL THE GRINDING DONE FOR TODAY AND THEN I CAN DO EVERYONE ELSE'S TOO. My left bicep is starting to crank up because of working the handle so fast but I ignore it. I get a notification I'm doing a tour for a bunch of high school students in half an hour.<br /><br />T+01:30 Okay I'm here in the meeting room, ready to give a tour. There are twenty people in this room, the average number of hairs on their head is 3,562. Why is everyone else taking so long? I'm pretty sure if I stop moving I'm going to die. I'm gonna teach the SHIT out of these kids about everything.<br /><br />T+01:40-05:00 - Who knows? I'm sure I acted perfectly normal and and in a calm and professional manner.<br /><br />T+05:30 - Definitely crashing. Not sure if I'm going to throw up or shit my pants, maybe both. I've been sweating so much over the past few hours it smells like I took a swim in malt vinegar.<br /><br />T+11:00 (now) - After almost falling asleep and crashing on the way home, I managed to convince myself to take a shower and stumble into bed. I'm physically exhausted but wide awake and know I probably won't be getting any sleep tonight.<br /><br />10/10 will definitely try again.
