Gag. Ever had a caffeine pill melt on your tongue? Now think of doing it on purpose, for an extended period of time.

I was about to say that caffeine infused gum tastes mostly normal, but then I read what they actually took in the study: For men it was about 6 portions of gum totaling 300mg of caffeine. Basically 5-6 cups of coffee’s worth of caffeine.

Yeah… “gag” is probably the correct reaction to this…

You're saying one cup is equivalent to 50mg of caffeine? I thought one cup was commonly equivalent to 100mg.

Sorry, I was thinking like espresso based drinks. A cup of drip coffee would be definitely closer to 100.

Me and Boris Diaw just like to have an espresso before the game instead.
