Snickers X-Treme


I found these on a recent road trip to Champaign, Illinois.


I really, really, REALLY wanted to try one, but then I read the warning label:
Not suitable for pregnant women, children, or those sensitive to caffeine (paraphrased).
Is it possible to be in all 3 categories?
These bars have 60mg of caffeine, which is more than a soda and on the lower end of a cup of coffee.
"To meet consumer needs and help millions of Americans take back their energy-zapped afternoons, SNICKERS(R) Brand is proclaiming the post-lunch, pre-dinner hour between two and three p.m. the SNICKERS Charged(TM) Re-Power Hour."
A quick search on the web is not too enthused, but multiple blogs end with the musing that: it's cheaper than a cup of coffee.
I prefer, however, to get my caffeine from a "delicious pastry item":
"Some people get their caffeine buzz from soda, chocolate and other sources besides coffee," Dr. Bohannon said. "The Buzz Donut and the Buzzed Bagel lets them get the caffeine buzz by simply eating a delicious pastry item."
(Immediate opening available for Press Secretary to Dr. Bohannon)
