Caffeine can be found in the strangest places.

by Liz on January 23rd, 2008

With a recent study indicating that pregnant women consuming 200 milligrams or more of caffeine a day increase their risk of miscarriage, it’s important to know what products contain caffeine and how much.

Caffeine, of course, is mostly found in coffee, chocolate, coke, and energized soft drinks.

But it seems that it can also be found in the strangest places. For example…

Shower Shock Soap

Running late with no time for a morning coffee. No problem - just lather up with the Shower Shock Soap. It smells of peppermint but it contains enough caffeine to let you absorb 200 mg per wash.

Snack Foods

In a place where no food or fluids are allowed. Then suck on a few Jolt Caffeine Energy Mints. By the time you’ve got to the fifth one, you’ve had the equivalent of a cup of java.

Or try the Supercharged Premium Sunflower Seeds. A 3.5 ounce bage will provide 120 milligrams of caffeine - that should be enought to keep you awake just a little longer.

Potato Chips

Then there’s the world’s first ‘energy potato chip‘. What more could we ask for? Potato chips already contain all things bad for you so why not add a little caffeine to the mix. Still, it might give couch potatoes the kick they need to get moving…

Lip Balm

It’s amazing what cold weather and night duty will do to you. For one cold and tired Alaskan Police Officer, it caused him to create the Spazzstick Caffeinated Lip Balm. It is, apparently, the world’s only caffeinated lip balm. Wonder how much caffeine is transferred with a kiss?

I don’t know. Call me old fashioned but I’d still rather get my caffeine fix from a cup of coffee.
