My record is 13k after a night of prescription stimulants, Fruity Pebbles, and no sleep. I was crazy by the time it was over. I will never do that again. Never. Again. Don't do it, guys. No, I'm serious. DON'T.

Fruity Pebbles and prescription stimulants? Does it warn you in the Drug Interactions to avoid Fruity Pebbles??
And I will take your advice to heart! (Since I don't eat Fruity Pebbles this really isn't as difficult a thing to avoid as one would think.)

Likewise, it is a really bad idea, when you are used to absently nibbling chocolate-covered raisins out of a bowl and actually putting away a fair few of them over a few hours' working, to have a bowl of chocolate-covered espresso beans in a place where you might do that with them.

Those beans are hard core. The first time I ate them I munched half a box, thinking "Oh man these are tasty." without thinking about the fact that they are caffiene incarnate. That was a long evening.

...ouch.
My only comparable story is the time I absently ate an entire bag of Skittles while watching Seven (Se7en? The one with Brad Pitt--yeah IMDB says Se7en...) and even though it was a movie theatre size, I usually don't finish a bag in one sitting. I'm not much of a sugar person. I was soooo hyper then nauseated, it wasn't fun. And no, it wasn't from the grotesqueries in the movie, as I am not bothered by that sort of stuff.

Stop this talk of delicious sugary food. I'm dieting.
Oh my god. Chocolate espresso beans...chocolate anything...
