Summer Days: Day 16

Well, day 16 of summer is just getting started. I'm virtually procrastinating on my essay that's due today for class, yet I am not worried. I even have time to write 2 blogs (including this) today.

Summer is taking its toll... I like the long days, but I dread the hotness...Feeling toasted in the heat of the sun and being bored at home is a very bad combination...or is it? I was so thirsty that I went to the fridge to check what drinks we have that is cold. I saw our pitcher of water and a couple cans of Mountain Dew. I decided to take the water because I want to drink O.J. using the powdered O.J. and water. While I was getting a glass, I thought of something interesting to do. I thought I should try doing an experiment.

I put the water back in the fridge and got a can of Mountain Dew instead. I got my glass and emptied the Mountain Dew in it. Then I put about 4 tablespoons of powdered O.J. in the caffeine and sugar filled glass (yeah I know I put too much O.J.) then I mixed them together. Voila! "Orange Dew".

I drank its sugary goodness. The taste was rather interesting. The powdered O.J. was very potent, yet the caffeinated beverage still made its mark. About 10 minutes after I drank the mix, I felt my head ache. Is this sugar rush? Maybe...well actually, I think it is. 4 tbsp (55 grams) of o.j. (which I bet was 2 tbsp sugar or more) and Mountain Dew (highest caffeine among the sodas and the added 46 grams of sugar in it) in a 12 oz glass? Yeah...diabetics, this drink is not for you.

All in all, I still have the sugar rush, and I had that drink... 6-7pm? I don't remember, and I still don't feel the crash... yep... I'll probably be awake for a while...

Final thoughts/advice:
1. Experimenting when bored is fun, especially with food.
2. If you are doing this mix, please dilute it water.
3. This would be a good mix next year during those long, painful all-nighters.
4. Diabetics-this is not for you.

That's it y'all.

P.S.- This was a more successful food experiment than my "Nacho Cheese Dipped Cookie" experiment way back when lol.

Mysteries...

Mystery 1- I have found many answers about this mystery, and now I see its true form. However I could see that I still have many things to learn...nonetheless, my interest is wearing thin....

Mystery 2- Each time I answer a question, more questions arise... Its seemingly endless trail leads to nowhere...Thus, makes my interest in this conundrum decline.

Mystery 3- Even though I slowly uncover thy secrets, I greatly appreciate that my patience is paying off. I will be vigilant.

Mystery 4- The most difficult mystery of all. I could not careless about the other three when this mystery is here. The more I delve myself in this mystery, the more I get curious, but it also makes me want to run away from it... Staying with this mystery would be a great asset in the future...
