...Buzz Bites after my morning coffee. Whoa there, Speedy Gonzales! Should I be driving? A tin comes with six silver-wrapped chocolate or mint-chocolate chews, each containing 100 mg of caffeine (roughly equivalent to a cup of joe and more than in a typical energy drink), a good dose of B vitamins, as well as ginseng and taurine. After my three-hour drive on three hours of sleep, that tin somehow pulled me through a full night of work. But in my sleep-deprived state, it also made me mesmerized by all the pretty colors...

Still, this gum does deliver an even-keeled, concentrated boost, vs. a spiked buzz. I started chewing the recommended two-piece dose and felt a little more alert but not antsy.

European doctors in the Middle Ages recommended raw eel and bitter almonds. Mongolians ate pickled sheep's eyes, while China went with a more palatable dose of green tea. Germans still eat Katerfruhstuck, a postbinge breakfast that usually consists of herring, pickles and goulash. Russians don't eat anything at all; they jump in a sauna and sweat it all out, sometimes flagellating themselves with birch branches to aid blood flow...
...dark ending to a bright day for the Obama family, who spent Friday out and about on Oahu during their most public day since arriving home for the holidays on Dec. 20. At midday, Obama decided to take family and friends out for a dose of shave ice, a local refreshment, and a visit to Sea Life Park, a popular aquarium located on a rocky point near a lighthouse on Oahu's Windward side. Tourists who were inside showed pool reporters photographs they took of Obama and his group. Obama was wearing a casual cream-colored shirt tucked into olive...
