Some have indicated that after a dose of around 1 g, toxic symptoms begin to manifest, a dose of 2 g requires hospitalization, while higher doses (e.g., typically 5 g or more) could be lethal

So he'll probably live, but his heart will be going like the fucking clappers.

Anon fellates a potion of heart failure

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 14 hours ago

That's about 11 cups of coffee. Should be okay.

I calculated the LD50 times average adult weight divided by 100mg per cup before, and I think the result was over 100 cups.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 13 points 11 hours ago

I start feeling it after like 5 or so. 11 would give me a panic attack.

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 11 hours ago

Oh yeah I don't think it would feel great, I'm just saying it's far enough from the LD50 that the answer to Anon's question "Do I survive?" would be yes. (Unless he's a child, or he has some preexisting condition making him more vulnerable to caffeine).

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

There's also a handy calculator that works for various drinks

As a bored, teenage barista, my coworkers and I would sometimes kill time by doing espresso shot competitions.

I did 10 once. Never again. I feel like something permanently changed in my brain chemistry that day (not to mention my gut was fucked).

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 12 hours ago

Thats less than 3 large starbucks coffees. I guarantee you some people are hitting that on the reg.

[-] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 hours ago

As long as they’re healthy, yes. That’s roughly the same amount as drinking a few espressos. But they won’t have a good time.

[-] Spookyghost@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 hours ago

Espessos have ~60mg of caffeine, each squirt would be one. Still should be fine, but i wouldnt recommend drinking 18 espessos at once.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 hours ago

This is anon we're talking about, no way they're healthy.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 10 hours ago

Sounds like a lightweight.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 50 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

wtf is that product, op can't be the only one misunderstanding it

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 8 hours ago

It says on the fucking bottle that it's a "light squeeze per 12 oz of water". Anyone stupid enough to kill themselves with it has it coming.

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 21 points 15 hours ago

It has "energy" and "caffeine" on the front, OP didn't read

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 4 points 14 hours ago

that's fair, I more meant the sheer amount of it though

[-] janNatan@lemmy.ml 11 points 13 hours ago

"Mio" is one of those products where you squirt a little bit into water to give it flavor. It's extremely concentrated. Honestly, I don't know how OP even managed to drink it all without diluting it first. I've tried drinking a single squirt of a similar product before, and it was awful.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 9 points 13 hours ago

They probably didn't drink it, they likely calculated how much was in it and made a funny.

Pretty much anything that says "energy" in it will have a ton of caffeine, surely everyone knows this by now...

[-] quixotic120@lemmy.world 18 points 16 hours ago

This honestly makes so much more sense from an environmental standpoint. Why waste so much in terms of resources shipping hundreds of millions of pounds of sugar water every month so picky babies that refuse to drink water will pump more money into the coca cola empire so they can get type 2 diabetes as fast as possible. Instead just ship this little cup thing at 1/18th the weight and save so much gasoline, road wear and tear, etc.

Who am I kidding, they’ll just put this into plastic bottled water that’s been shipped from 3 states over

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Eww stateside water?? Nah bro give me that other side of the world Fiji water.

[-] blackmagic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

Wait is that what Fiji water is? I assumed it was a marketing thing. Do they actually ship that water from Fiji?

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

Everyone knows the further water travels, the better it tastes.

[-] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Can't even quench my thirst if I can't taste that planet suffering in the bottle

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 26 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

It's a water flavoring. Most are just that, water flavoring. Few squirts into a water bottle make water more "palatable" for some. There are different types of this water "enhancer" that contain caffeine. This is one of those kinds.

[-] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 hours ago

Either your a spider or you meant palatable.

I've got a torch buddy, I'm onto you!

[-] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago

You know what, you're probably right.

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

About the spider thing?!?

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

They make THC ones too... I tried them the one time my local dispensary had a flash sale and marked them down from like $30 to $6 (probably about to expire).

Can't say they're worth full price, but was great for $6. Drinking THC, interestingly, has a different high than eating it. It's kind of in between smoking and eating. Takes like 20-30min to hit (instead of 90min+), but doesn't last as long as an edible (which some might see as a plus, though I don't mind waking up high the next morning lol).

After a while, the taste/smell did start to bother me. Whatever the shit is suspended in (PEG? I don't know) has a distinct smell and aftertaste. I wonder if this stuff is similar.

[-] Pieisawesome@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

There are better THC drinks than these additives.

In you are in California, PBR makes a delicious non-alcoholic thc drink.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Yeah, they sell better ones at the liquor stores here actually... They're all packed with sugar substitutes though, which is another aftertaste I'm not a fan of. They're a bit overpriced too...

The cheapest ones for THC per dollar, that I've seen there, come to about ~$6 a piece (in a 4-pack, so ~24) and have 20mg THC.

[-] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 12 hours ago

i thought it was shampoo 😂

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 10 points 17 hours ago

Looks like Mio, you add it to your water to get flavoured water. I guess like Tang or Kool-Aid but modern and typically zero calories or something like that.

I'm guessing this one has caffeine and for some reason they chose not to mix it with water.

ld50 150 mg/kg

Anon almost definitively survived, but they got on a fucked up ride

[-] schmerm@sh.itjust.works 53 points 19 hours ago

LD50 just means half of a test population dies at that dosage. Anon took just over 1/10th of LD50 so there's a nonzero chance things did not go well

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 35 points 19 hours ago

Study I read stated that 57mg/kg was the lowest recorded ingestion leading to mortality. Anon’s organs lost a few steps but they’re likely fine enough

[-] Shortstack@reddthat.com 15 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

So more like ~1/4 towards potential death level amount. Bro is never gonna touch caffeine again after riding this out

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago

Nah, they'll be back on the horse soon enough like a good anon...
