Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Brian at Candy Addict pointed out a story that I overlooked last week. A middle school student in Pennsylvania was suspended, not for stealing a cookie, but for bringing Jolt Gum to school and sharing it with another student. Jolt Gum was described by the superintendent as "a stimulant that has no other redeeming quality." "What if the gum had been given to a student with a heart condition?" she asked. The suspension was for three days, as the school has a zero-tolerance policy on stimulants, including caffeinated sodas.
Jolt Gum has 45 mg of caffeine per serving. For comparison, consider that a Hershey's chocolate bar has 9 mg of caffeine and a 12-oz. Coke has 34 mg (Diet Coke has 45mg).
