Everything You Need to Know About Caffeine

July 14th 2010 03:10

In humans, caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant, having the effect of temporarily warding off drowsiness and restoring alertness. Beverages containing caffeine, such as coffee, tea, soft drinks, and energy drinks, enjoy great popularity. Caffeine is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive substance, but, unlike many other psychoactive substances, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all jurisdictions. In North America, 90% of adults consume caffeine daily. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists caffeine as a "multiple purpose generally recognized as safe food substance".

The stimulant effects of Caffeine can keep your brain active overnight and prevent sleep. Caffeine also has diuretic properties when administered in sufficient doses to subjects that do not have a tolerance for it. Regular users, however, develop a strong tolerance to this effect.

The info-graphic below from this-blog-rules contains interesting facts about caffeine such as where it comes from, how it affects your body and its uses (both good and bad).

Organic Vs Non-Organic

June 23rd 2010 03:44

Here is Chuck and Beans take on the Organic Vs Non-Organic debate. Visit the shoebox blog here.

organic vs non organic. Awesome. Those evil bastards! This product is well liked and affordable. It’s also made with deadly toxins that slowly kill you. This product on the other hand is all natural and completely safe. It’s also sold at a ridiculous markup because they know the other stuff is poison.

Brand vs Generic Drugs

June 16th 2010 02:18

Generic Brand products are always cheaper than their big name counterparts, but what is the real difference in quality?
The truth is, it tends to vary from product to product. At the supermarket for example, generic brand items tend to have a reputation for lower quality to go along with the price.
At the pharmacy however, it's a different story. In fact in the USA for example, generic brand drugs are required to be identical to the originals, except the price difference can be huge.

The info-graphic below is by the RIP and will tell you everything you need to know about generic brand drugs. Click on the image to enlarge.

History of TV Dinners

October 19th 2009 12:13

A TV dinner (also called frozen dinner, freezer meal, microwave meal, or ready meal) was first produced in 1953. The first Swanson-brand TV Dinner was produced in the United States and consisted of a Thanksgiving meal of turkey, cornbread dressing, frozen peas and sweet potatoes packaged in a tray like those used at the time for airline food service. Each item was placed in its own compartment. The trays proved to be useful: the entire dinner could be removed from the outer packaging as a unit; the aluminum tray could be heated directly in the oven without any extra dishes; and one could eat the meal directly out of the same tray. The product was cooked for 25 minutes at 425 °F (218 °C) and fit nicely on a TV tray table. The original TV Dinner sold for 98 cents, and had a production estimate of 5,000 dinners for the first year. Swanson far exceeded its expectations, and ended up selling more than 10 million of these dinners in the first year of production. One reason how TV Dinners got their name was their early packaging featured the image of a TV set. Another reason would be that many families would eat these in front of a TV set.
Below are some images of early TV dinners. Do they look more or less appetising than today’s options?
