I don't drink coffee that much. I'm an energy drink kind of guy. What I like to do is mix a Five Hour Energy shot with a BFC of Monster. Keeps me wired all kittening day! But a word of advice, don't drink two BFC's in one day. I did it and I thought I was gonna die. My heart was going a mile a second.

Drinking Five Hour Energy too much can be extremely dangerous for your heart. Not only will you're body get adapted to it, you'll have a major shut down eventually, ESPECIALLY with Monster. Honestly, it's really stupid to mix the two together unless you have a death wish and/or nothing better to do.

Tell that to my classmates.

A few of them drink 1-3 a day.

I know it's dangerous but I still do it. Plus whenever me and my friends pull all nighters with Virtua Fighter we stock pile Monster, Rock Star, Full Throttle, etc. And so we mix several different drinks together. Healthy? Hell no! Fun? Absolutely!

Honestly, I don't think it'll sound very fun when one of you suddenly starts seizure from the:

1) flashing lights of the game against the darkness of the room. (I'm assuming you play in the dark.)
2) The already sped-up heart rate.
3) Typical excitement of playing the game.

Seriously, don't play with dangerous game. You're too young to be doing that kind of stuff to your body, especially for video games. Be that excited for a job, not a game.

You guys need a glimpse into my daily life or lack there of. I go to school, go to work on the days I work, come home play games. I know I'm a loser. But c'mon! Pulling all nighters is so much fun so why not knock back an energy drink? (Or seven in my case). But if I do die, I'll go out with Monster in my system. Plus it will make one of the funnest headlines in history. I can see it now, "Idiot dies by drinking too many energy drinks". Besides, there are a lot of worse things I could be addicted to like nicotine, cocane, PCP, etc. I'll stick with caffeine thank you.

I know, but I'm just worried. xDD

It's the mom in me. XD;;

[NuclearRaven]

I'm not that important am I? If I die, then I'll see my lord and savior Jesus Christ and then he can tell me what an idiot I was but it's cool coming from him. Plus my own mother and father worry about me already no need for me to pile it on you. LOL!

I admit there's a possibility I'm addicted to caffiene myself. I regularly drink a lot of Diet Mountain Dew, but I tend to balance it with a lot of water as well. But several Monsters? Wow, seriously. They're right, you're probably going to kill yourself. =/

"Suicide by Caffiene".

I don't really understand it, but people do a lot of dangerous things I don't understand. See alcohol, drugs, cutting, etcetera. I mean, why would you want to risk your health for a short, fleeting rush? There are plenty of other, safer ways to have a good time.

The rush may be short but it feels like pure adrenaline for me and I love it! I will admit that I'm a hardcore caffeine addict. I drank a Monster BFC and five Cokes yesterday and I felt fine. Whenever I want an energy drink I'll get it and say to my friends "I need to go kill my liver".

Well, I guess we did kinda go off-topic, though I didn't really mind since I was the one who started the topic

So.. uh.. any other companies that we know besides the 15 mentioned near deletion?

Colbert talked about some of the companies that are having trouble.

Shuana Krispy Kreme has been gone for a long time now. The one by my house has already been torn down and turned into a bank... It's not coming back...

No, the company itself is still up and running:

Krispy Kreme. The famed doughnut chain got too chubby over the last 15 years, and it's been closing unprofitable stores to help reverse several years of steep losses. Revenue has plunged since 2005, but cutbacks helped the company turn a $1.9 million profit in the latest quarter. Lenders have provided a breather by easing some of their requirements over the last two years. The temporary reprieve expires in 2011. By then, the company hopes that streamlining, profitable new overseas stores, and other measures will have strengthened its finances.

Spokesman Brian Little points out that Krispy Kreme has cut its debt by nearly 40 percent and has a $21 million cash cushion. The recession, he adds, isn't as daunting to Krispy Kreme as to other food chains: "We sell an affordable indulgence consumers will purchase when they can't afford to treat themselves or their families to other luxuries."

I just hope that they can continue to survive, because Krispy Kreme makes the best donuts ever D:
