Is This Really Necessary?
For the last couple days I’ve been getting a 7-11 coffee after lunch. Mostly because it’s been freezing cold even during the early afternoon, but also because their coffee is 99 cents from noon to midnight. I normally ignore the fancy gourmet creamers and other weird add ons that they offer there, since I just like to add a couple hits of sugar to my coffee. However, I saw something in the creamer bin with a warning message on it. This immediately piqued my interest.
Black Coffee Shot WARNING: HIGH CAFFEINE
STOK (pronounced: stoke) is basically a shot of espresso worth of caffeine for you to add to your coffee. While I know that there’s a huge energy drink/legal speed crowd out there in the world (and especially in the US), but is this seriously necessary?! I mean, are people really doing that much that they feel the need to add extra caffeine to their caffeinated beverages? And if so, maybe it’s time for these folks to just breakdown and develop an amphetamine habit.
Either way, I can’t imagine what type of people would use these on a daily basis (but the clerk at the 7-11 told me that there are quite a few regular customers that do add this to their daily cup of joe). At best I can see this being used as a one time thing like if you need to drive another few more hours on a late night road trip and are slowly succumbing to drowsiness. In many regards I’m kind of afraid to try this stuff just once even for a review/my thoughts on this. This shit really seems dangerous…

Don’t worry My father used to have coffees which i used to call Mud & they much stronger that these energy drinks & stuff.
He’s used to do it for years with several heaped teaspoons of coffee & several sugar spoons of sugar so these things are completly safe.
