death by...caffeine??

So I was "stumbling" around the web this evening and found this amazing site.  Basically you "pick your poison" from a drop down menu and then type in your weight.  It calculates how much/how many you need to ingest to kill yourself (yes, sadistic, but in a can't-look-away-from-the-car-crash kind of way).  Anyway, I'm a horrible caffeine addict thanks to medical school and use No-doz (it's like getting the caffeine out of coffee without the calories from my 10 tbsp of sugar and 5 creamers).  Anyway, here's what it looks like:




So if you're interested, to kill me it would take:

  • 1365 Kit Kat bars
  • 60 bottles of 5-hour energy drinks
  • 353 baking chocolate squares
  • 172 cans of Cheerwine
  • 241 cans of cherry coke
  • 1638 glasses of chocolate milk
  • 237 cans of regular Coke
  • 126 regular Excedrin pills
  • 8,190 hershey kisses
  • 136 Midol Menstral completes (ok I can't believe MIDOL has caffeine in it...? this was pure curiosity!)
  • 102 cans of Red Bull
  • 2048 Reece's peanut butter cups
  • 63 cans of Starbucks double shot espressos (this was my drug of choice in undergrad)
  • Only 327 cups of green tea!!?
But keep in mind, you're dealing with a caffeine-dependent addict so you'd probably need to double these numbers, for those of you who have already started plotting!

Anyway, have fun, there are hundreds to choose from:
