Cool Hunting
When a cup of coffee just isn't enough to satisfy your caffeine needs, check out these amped products:
Shock Coffee pumps up your joe with supercharged beans that provide an additional 50% increase in caffeine than standard roasted beans. They claim this increase is achieved both from the beans they use and how they roast them. A single shot espresso using their beans or grounds delivers around 100mg of caffeine. They also make mocha and latte flavored canned coffee, and Shock-a-Lots, chocolate and candy coated coffee beans.
Coffee breath? Try a Penguin Caffeinated Mint. Available in peppermint, cinammon and chocolate, three of these tasty mints provide the punch of one caffeinated beverage. Their peppermint flavored sugar-free energy gum is another option.
Vicious cookies are tasty bite-sized coffee and chocolate cookies that pack an extra punch.
Hi Ball Energy Drinks offer a range of sodas and mixers that offer more palatable versions of popular energy drinks. They can be combined with the alcohol of your choice, or for maximum fun, serve them straight up to your friend's kids.

Recently rediscovered as a superfood, the indigenous Andean tuber is sliced and then partially dried. The...
by Maxwell Gold Not all dried fruit snacks are created equally. Danielle all-natural, preservative-free Crispy Fruit and Crispy Veggie chips are a step above most other snack foods. We love them because they are cooked in small batches and seasoned with just a touch of salt to bring out the full flavor and to ensure superior taste. We're especially enamored with the thick-cut Crispy Banana...
Like having the best of the best Farmer's Market delivered to your door, California-based We Love Jam hand makes some of the most tantalizing jams, sauces and other treats we've ever tasted and sells them online.

On a recent road trip we tried some Pop Chips and were very pleased with their light and crisp taste. Even better, they are not fried (fat and oil) or baked (dry and tasteless). Instead, Pop Chips use a combination of heat and pressure to create a healthy but delicious snack. We enjoyed the Parmesean Garlic Potato Chips a bit more than the Wasabi...
