Vivarin Caffeine Alertness Aid

OR: How I Stopped Sleeping and Started Walking On The Ceiling

I was on the popular website reddit the other day, browsing through a section that highlights free stuff and giveaways available to the public. The Vivarin caffeine tables caught my eyes and I thought, "Why not?"

It's a fair certainty that many disasters have happened all through history that began with the question "why not?"

"Beautiful Queen Helen, will you run away with me?"

"Sure. Why not?"

*War*

"Hey, do you think we should make another Jurassic Park?"

"Why not?"

*Jurassic Park 3*

See? Disasters and horrors.

I'm not saying Vivarin is bad. Oh, no. It does exactly what it says it does on the tin. I'm feeling alert, completely energized, 100% unfocused, and about 30 times more jittery than I do when I drink a cup of coffee. I think that if I held a glass of water right now over my laptop I would soon need a new laptop, assuming I didn't shake the water out of the cup between the sink and the couch.

I still have 3 more of these pills laying around; for a free sample they definitely did themselves justice. Most companies only send out one of whatever it is you want to sample. I definitely give them credit for that. I think that if I'm going to try any of these other pills I need to keep one very important thing in mind:

Eat first.

I'm thinking it may not be their fault that I'm a little "bouncy" at the moment. I had some food and I slowly (the only thing I'm doing slowly at the moment) seem to be coming down into a normal zone of "okayness." At the height of my bounciness I'm pretty sure I would have made a High School mascot look lazy.

What do I think? I think that these pills aren't for me. Would I recommend them? Absolutely. Right after making sure the person knows what they're getting themselves into.
