What the hell would make you want this?

Maybe all that coffee triggered a form of Synesthesia. Wouldn't surprised me a bit. (Though it is fun tasting colors, I'll bet. Wonder what fuschia tastes like?)

If you look at the last 2 lines of the "Description" block in the Wikipedia entry, you'll see that it's a subtle grape flavour spiced with black pepper. Of course, it's pretty obvious what orange tastes like.

Heh, I kind of assumed that everything had a different taste for different people.

I guess colors are a lot like normal food!

well for me at 140# it would take around 124 shots of espresso to kill me*, though I wouldn't be feeling very well after more than ten(I have had a caffeine overdose, it was not pretty, dehydration, shaking, vomiting every 30 minutes, I was in the ER for 4 hours just getting IVs to rehydrate)


*source-death by caffeine calculator-enjoy!

Gulp down 233.79 cups of Brewed Tea and you're history.

Y'know, that's sounding an awful lot like a challenge to me (I drink anywhere from 4-10 pints of day DAILY)

I shouldn't laugh but that was funny. besides it sounds like some of the weird shit i use to order. like going to starbucks and asking for a red eye ... they stopped to verify "did you really want a cup of coffee with 3 shots of espresso?" Me: um... no make it a quad! Barrista man:

That order shoud require a signed release. When I worked at Not-Starbucks (a little family-owned joint), we had a regular who liked turkish coffee, which uses a finer grind than espresso, and he wanted like 4 or 5 shots of that.

I am open to name suggestions

Caffeiney Meany, though is that meant to be the drink or the drinker?

I'm not a doctor, but I play one in coffee shops.

I tip my hat to thee Mocha Dieb.

I have a t-shirt that has the Fear litany with a more coffee tilt

I must not do decaf
Decaf is the mind killer...

Actually, that Wikipedia entry is for fuschia the plant, not the colour, and describes the taste of its fruit. Synesthesia not needed to get a taste for that - hence my comment about the taste of orange being obvious.

Random talk, seemed crazy, slammed down a ridiculous amount of caffeine.....

I think you met Serge Storms!

Whoops. I'd blame the pregnancy hormones, but my curiousity seems satiated so I didn't pay much attention to the Wiki page.

Although now I'm wondering why I never knew that fuschia was a plant too! I feel uneducated.

I vote for Java ex Machina, if we're still picking nicknames.

by my rough calculations, dude downed 2 grams of caffeine.
most i've ever had at once is 1 gram... it was unpleasant.
