It's midnight and I was drinking a GIANT cup of caffienated Coke [TMI]

So, today after school, as I was pumping gas at a neighborhood Walmart gas station (pretty small), my mom gave me and my brother $10 to spend to buy 2 drinks at the gas station and give her the change. I pumped gas and my brother went inside to get the drinks. My mom and I were expecting him to just get those regular sized soda bottles but we both knew he was doing something more when he was taking the time it took me to pump gas and then some. So, when I finished, I went inside to check on my brother and saw that he was getting the biggest filler cups I have ever seen and filling them up to the brim with root beer for him and Coca-Cola for me. I was like "[bro's name], why'd you get such huge cups?? 😂" And he smiled and was like "because...why not?"

So, we bought them, and mom say them and almost freaked out lol and was like "that's not what I told you to get" but then just ignored it on the way home.

So, I drank some throughout the rest of the day and it ended up being nighttime and I was still drinking it. I very recently just put it back in the refrigerator like probably 10 minutes ago.

The problem is?? It's caffeinated.

And it's midnight.

And now I can't go to sleep probably for another few hours.

Don't do what I did, please. I'm really wishing it translates to my energy in the morning lmao

(it was pretty much this size, just different design)

*looks at the Monster in my hand* Young lady!!!!!

I have no room to judge!!!

Hehehe.

LMAO this comment made my day...night...early morning...?

My early morning has been a roller coaster and yuh (cuz I watched sad tiktoks. The things caffeine makes you do, huh?)

IT'S ALMOST 2AM AND I'M STILL WIDE AWAKE

I'm doomed...

XD

Best big brother example ever thou

But those dreams are always so fun!!!!!!

That's how I had my Twice glove box taco dream.

LMAO now I want to go to sleep now and see where my mind takes me lmao

My most recent Twice dream was when I went to Lotte World with Twice.

Best part of that song, hands down.

Quote from keyboardwarrior7

Well my heart rate was through the roof, and there was this pressure on my heart (gas lmao).

Edit: Also got very dizzy.

So the whole time I was like, "Am I okay? I'm okay right."

Having a stroke at 28 is not the way to go lol. And I live alone, so if I die. No one would know for awhile.

Oh, my goodness!

I've actually never had an energy drink before, and I probably won't even touch one now lmao

I think energy drinks contain a lot more caffeine that natural coffee, some teas and the average caffeinated soda.

So I was reading...

The average cup-a-joe has 95mg of caffeine-ish.

A small can of Coke, 7.5 ounces, typically has 21mg of caffeine with diet typically having 28mg (with a full bottle of coke, 20 ounces, being 53 for regular Coke and diet Coke having 70mg)

An energy drink can range anywhere from 50mg to 500mg of caffeine...that's a LOOOT

So I think mine was a 44 (?) ounce cup? I drank most of it and if a normal bottle of Coke is 20 ounces and has 53mg of caffeine...how much did I have?? So I got like 80mg...(i'm too lazy to do the math so i literally just went to some website and put in that I had 2 bottles of regular Coke)

How much caffeine did you have then???

Quote from horizonshard

Oh yeah. I've experienced that too.

Or when the whole world seems to slow down because you're hyper focused.

Ahhhh, caffeine.

I hope I don't get addicted to it...I've heard about how bad caffeine withdrawal is

I should probably try forcing myself to go to sleep. I have school tomorrow and have to wake up early and the last thing I want is to almost fall asleep in class multiple times...

I didn't even stay up that late those times. I stayed up till 2:30am-ish (maybe earlier) and woke up around 7:30am-ish both days and I was still very tired the second day.

best lyrics of 2022!!!

Check out, popcorn and zero coke!

I wonder when they're going to make their next comeback. I'd be surprised if they don't release at least 2 albums/singles this year. Maybe October or November...

Quote from Jae-6

give it to me

LOL just shipped it

Quote from keyboardwarrior7

They're coming back this month!

Oh, really?? I missed that! Maybe because I'm still not over Talk that Talk lol

I need to join the NMIXX taglist!

They look gorgeous! Loving the concept

Quote from keyboardwarrior7

I drank this and this....

They both have 200 mg of caffeine.

HOLY MOLY HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE AFTER THAT?????

Also, here's a better question...WHY???

Quote from keyboardwarrior7

Yeah, people have been posting stuff in the K-News area, but that area get less attention than the K-lounge, which is probably why you hadn't seen it. I don't think the people posting are even using the taglist lol. I have to go hunt for the teaser threads in the morning.

Aww, I see...

Yeah, I get why we split the sections but at the same time, I don't like it at all because it's confusing and then you have one subforum getting more attention than another. And also, we had something similar to the K-POP subforum division that we have today at the beginning of this forum revamp but people were too confused on where to put certain threads.

I guess the wording was confusing but basically people were putting news threads in with general KPOP discussions and vice verse and constantly had to be moved to the right sections

Quote from selfmate

are you saying two more or two in total this year?

2 total. I wouldn't expect them to make 3 this year, especially not at this point.

And plus, I just found out that they're coming back but it's been on the downplay here and this is where I get most of my news from groups that I'm not constantly following.

Quote from selfmate

they are indeed coming back so looking forward to (hopefully) something good

Yep, I hope for something good too. They said that O.O was just a teaser based on the lyrics so I expect all their future comebacks to be absolutely amazing.

Quote from Jae-6

it came late (which is why I'm replying so late)

Sorry bout that bro...my shipping service is slow af lmao

Quote from keyboardwarrior7

Sis, I have no idea lmao. I drink energy drinks not because of the caffeine, but because I like the taste lol.

So, I bought these, and I knew they were energy drinks, but I think I subconsciously forgot? Probably because I just wanted something tasty, sweet, and fruity to drink while I ate my pizza. I didn't even think to look at how much caffeine was in it since I usually only drink one. And, I forgot they were energy drinks until I looked up and it was 3:45 am and I was wondering why I was still awake. I also ate whole pint of Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Brownie ice cream that night.

So yeah, loads of sugar and loads of caffeine. It's no wonder my head was spinning.

LMAO oh my goodness!!

I---

But ngl, this is loosely like my situation. I didn't realize I was drinking caffeinated Coke but I was drinking it because I remembered I had it and I love the taste of Coke. I didn't even notice it was midnight either...Big mistake.

But this is hilarious lmaoooo

Hopefully you didn't have anything important going on the next day???

Quote from Jae-6

Nope. Too expensive

Quote from Jae-6

Nope.
