Nuclear energy powder

Harcos has done it again. The brilliant minds behind Mana energy potion, Blood Energy Pouches and Health Potions have outdone themselves with their latest product, Nuclear Energy Powder. I have been a fan of Harcos for a long time, and it is well deserved. They have been coming out with amazing and unique products with nary a misstep.

These are little resealable test tubes, named Uranium, Plutonium and Radium. Each one contains a pixie-stick-like powder in flavors of pear, raspberry lemonade and Yellow Cake.
Let me say that again for those not paying attention - the flavor of cake batter...
And they are good - so undeniably tasty that even those people in the office who shy away from my caffeinated treats were coming back for more. These test tubes are truly a work of genius.

You have been warned. The package does let you know you are sucking down 90mg of caffeine, and in such a way that the hit is fast and hard. It is like a double shot of espresso, only it comes on all at once. The subcutaneous effect is what is going on here, as thace caffeine is absorbed on your tongue and mouth more than in your system. This means that the caffeine gets absorbed through your bloodstream much faster than having to wait for it to be digested. This way, more caffeine is pumping though you in less time - giving a greater rush.
In terms of actual caffeine, there is only 90mg in here, but the speed of the delivery makes up for it. Of course that means that it leaves your system is just a couple hours - but that is all the more reason to buy 2 of them. I managed to finish all 3 flavors in one workday, without any problems whatsoever. Expect about 2 or so hours of energy from this before fading nicely back to normal energy levels.

You gotta try this. Seriously. these are Pixie Stix for grownups - a real treat for your mouth. The raspberry was so fantastic - tasting like the candy you had as a kid - full of sugary goodness. It is a little sour, but blue raspberry is supposed to be sour. No aftertaste at all, and there is enough in here to really enjoy it. And the best part - blue tongue!
Next up is the yellow cake flavor - which tastes just like cake batter! The aftertaste on this one is a little funky, but... cake batter!!! it is Just So Damn Good. Better than damn-good. I could eat these over and over and over.
The pear is the weakest of the flavors - not really tasting like pear. It does not really taste like anything at all. It is very very sour, and the aftertaste is very strong as well. While pretty amazing for what they are, it is not the best of them.

Just awesome. Ok, there are a couple issues, like getting the top off, but the clear beaker lets the bright colors through,and the simple label really says it all. There is a warning label for those who think this is caffeine free, and that's about it. This is another HUGE win for Harcos - destined to be a collectable on shelves of science geeks everywhere.
