Something Shiny

ThinkGeek has taken it upon themselves to cram caffeine into yet another product I wouldn’t think needed it. Yet, I still want it. Sure, it’s $10 plus shipping and fondling for 5 tubes, but I’m sure the test tube shaped containers could be reused for something… right?

From ThinkGeek:

Dr. Timmy sat in his lab contemplating his youth, which grew more distant with every passing thought. Mainly, he reminisced about his favorite childhood candies. One in particular stood out. It was basically a paper tube filled with powder candy (we won’t mention names, but you know what we mean). Suddenly, Dr. Timmy threw back his head and began to laugh. He dashed about his lab, flipping switches and throwing levers. There was a crash of lighting and Dr. Timmy held in his hands a thing of beauty. A test tube filled with powder candy (like he remembered), but with a mad scientist twist: it was now loaded with caffeine. And thus, Caffeinated Nixie Tubes were born.

Make your own skittles infused vodka and “taste the rainbow” both ways (going down and coming back up again). I haven’t tried this out yet, but I fully intend to. Sorta reminds me of the old fashioned wax bottle candy with the syrupy liquid in it.

Hmm, wonder if I can find a how-to on making your own wax bottle candy…
