Meth Coffee - What’s the deal?
It’s all the rage in some circles - yet many have no idea what it is. It sounds like something related to my earlier ramblings on coffee pots used to make meth. However, this is quite different and legal even.
Meth coffee first came on the scene over a year ago. Created in San Fransisco California, this marketing ploy is really pretty clever. Although some find it disturbing and have even launched letter writing campaigns to the company telling them why this little play on words isn’t funny. The premise is based upon the fact that coffee is addicting and people are always seeking stronger coffee or “better sh*t”.
Here is the description from the company site:
Mental clarity! Mind-altering euphoria! Nail your ass to the chair with Meth Coffee, a smooth, rich roast supercharged with maximum caffeine and dusted with yerba mate, a powerful natural stimulant kept secret by shamans of the Amazon until now.
This vibrationical catalyst for upstarts, earthquakes, and brain shifts is roasted for you by a master druggist, bionicalbrain chemist, and coffee viscologist within hours of receiving your order to guarantee maximum potency. E-Z re-sealable interlock bag keeps product fresh for repeated consumption.
The company released a promo video (shown below) on utube which is pretty funny up until the part where he starts snorting a line of coffee grounds - they probably could have cut it there because the rest is pretty lame. I’ll let you be the judge on that though…
The coffee of course does not contain meth in any way, shape, or form. It is actually a mix of 99.99% Arabica coffee beans and an herbal additive called Yerba Mate. It’s kind of funny that they’ve added Yerba Mate because it is actually supposed to be an alternative to coffee; claiming to have a similar effect to coffee without the side effects.
Yerba mate users report a mental state of wakefulness, focus and alertness reminiscent of most stimulants, but often remark on mate’s unique lack of the negative effects typically created by other such compounds, such as anxiety, diarrhea, “jitteriness”, and heart palpitations.
So there you have it. Personally, I love me some coffee in the morning, but I have yet to try this one. Maybe I will order a “bag” and report back with details.
