Slog - Comments on Look What Happened While We Were Distracted by Hillary and Obama http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/look_what_happened_while_we_were_distrac Snickers Charged happened. It's a Snickers bar laced with caffeine, taurine, and B-Vitamins. What the fuck? It has 60mg of caffeine in it, which is five more than a 12 oz. can of Mountain Dew. It has 250mg of taurine, which is one quarter of the amount found in an 8.3 oz. can of Red Bull. It comes with a warning label: "Not recommended for children, pregnant women or people sensitive for caffeine." And there's a scary rhino on the wrapper. It tastes just like a regular Snickers bar. No, really. What the fuck?...

Then again, you can probably pick up turbocharged candy bars 3/99 cents with your QFC card.

I fixed it and just said rhino because even spell check didn't know how to spell rhinoceros.

I'm a really bad speller. Especially when it comes to prehistoric species.

Columbia (or whatever brand those bottles are) can't be psyched about that. Is Chardonnay + Snickers Charged the new Sparks?
