Caffeine Stix: Inhalable Caffeine
ThinkGeek have come up with an impressive caffeinated product. What a shame it’s an April Fools Joke.
SurgeStix
We at ThinkGeek have made it our mission to get caffeine into your system in as many ways as are available: eating, drinking, absorption. There is one final way to get caffeine into your body: breathing!
You can see why we were so excited when we saw SurgeStix at a trade show in Canada. Though they look like cigarettes, you don’t light these Stix. You crack them like glow sticks (to get the caffeine solution flowing) and then take deep drags.
Each breath will suck in about 18mg of caffeine, each Stix has about 10 “hits,” so you are looking at 180mg of caffeine going straight into your lungs and surging into your bloodstream. Now, the warning says not to exceed 4 Stix in a 24 hour period, but we know you will. Heck, we did too! In fact, the entire ThinkGeek office hasn’t slept a wink in 3 days! Get your SurgeStix now, and you too can be sucking in no time.
They even went to the trouble of making up a phony product page.

I want these now!!!!!!!!! Last year’s April Fools joke was similarly awesome and I want that one as well . . . a man can dream rite? @_#
Dude, that’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard. What would possibly possess you to try and snort it? People die from that shit.
No they don’t.
Those things are theoretically possible…
They’d be pretty cool.
Yeah–Last year the item was a caffeine inhaler. All of my coworkers were watching in horror when I tried to order 3 of them…which then turned to laughing when we realized it was an April Fool’s gag. T_T
I admint, I tried to order last years, I tried to order this year’s.. make the caffeine inhaler!!!!!
SWEEET ^ ^
this is a kik @$$ item…. i need to get them…
but i dont like the fact that they look like cigaretts
as awesome as it might sound and actually be, I could easily see these getting abused, hell even by some people I know and happen to be friends with. I wouldn’t even put it past myself to do such a thing if it were possible and easily obtained.

OK! Someone needs yo make these NOW!
These stix would be idea for patients like myself with severe hypnic headaches (rare, only 85 documented cases). Caffiene is one of the only four preventatives available, and when I have extreme nausea and vomiting, my “tablet” medications (preventatives indomethicin, caffiene) do not work at all because they are expelled. I would purchase these “stix” and give them a try, anything to avoid the Emergency Room visit.
IM SO PISSED THEY DONT MAKE THESE. Seriously, it’s a amazing idea, they make caffeinated everything else, why not caffeine ciggs? SERIOUSLY WTF
I was so excited when I saw the title of this article – I have wanted a caffeine inhalator for some time now. They had me going for a minute.
I tried to snort Morning Spark once – some very important things to notice in the ingredient list (things I missed) are Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and citric acid. Imagine snorting the white powder left in the bottom of your bag of Sour Skittles. It’s like laughing soda out your nose multiplied a few times.
