I believe you buy lots of stuff on the internet. :~

Yes, but none of those are weird - I buy fragrances, electronic devices, electronic consumables, etc., online. But not pure caffeine powder! (leave alone "online", I'll never buy shit like that). :)

I guess it has its uses. It's not a banned substance. Not sure why you'd think it's crap. :~ Btw, dude! Fragrances online? :omg:

Indeed Young people will do anything to attract attention. I was going to say he was probably a college student but I didn't see that in the report. I remember a while back a student swallowed a gold fish facing the wrong direction and choked to death.

It's probably a good thing he didn't spot the bulk buy savings: Ebay: 1Kg of caffeine £27.99[^]
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

He'd probably have got the entire party killed then!

I cannot possibly kill myself with cans of redbulls or cups of tea. I can't think of how can I possibly use this caffeine powder. May be it has its uses, but not that I can think of putting it to use in my daily life. And a couple of spoons will put an end to my misery. :omg: Well, I think it's crap.

Lots and lots of them. It's my hobby, and I've developed a good olfactory sense with this hobby over the years. Tens of bottles have come and gone through the vault. Now there are many bottles (and a load of samples). The collection contains all kinds of stuff - designer, niche, and some mediocre stuff too. The prices could vary from $20 to $185 per bottle, based on the quality of the ingredients. There are some custom blends too. Online stores have a great variety and they give me discounts, loyalty bonuses, etc., for repeat purchases. I've had plenty of compliments from co-workers, friends, etc., on how good I smell. :)

It did not matter. Two spoons would still have been enough.

Sure, you do. But a cup of coffee will have about 100 mg of caffeine (or may be less). I can't think of a reason to buy boxes of pure caffeine powder - AND - on the internet - AND - eat it. Weird, that.

There's some alcohol (that again depends, some very high quality fragrances are oil based) and other chemicals in fragrances, but that won't kill me. I'll definitely not try something like that though - especially because two spoons of it can be used for something like 20 wearings! :)

This just in: Another person has died after drinking bleach; one from eating a box of screws, another from sticking several knives into his throat, and fourth by leaping head-first from the roof of a house. Namby-pamby wusses are looking into the possibility of banning all bleach, screws, knives, and houses in the interest of public safety.

That sounds like an urban legend. Unless by "goldfish" you mean "koi".

Perhaps no one outside of North America gets this one... Sad... :( But a five from me.

I read manuals, but only after I can't figure out how to assemble that last puzzle I bought from Ikea.
