Shark Tea Bags - Neatorama

(Photo: Makuake)

Lurking beneath the surface of the tea in your cup is a deadly predator. It's steeping in the water, waiting for the right moment to leap out and devour the label.

Tokyo Weekender reports that the Daisho Fisery Company in Japan has designed these novel tea bags. The Great White Shark is filled with a rosehip and hibiscus tea that gives the water a blood red tint. The comparatively harmless whale shark is filled with green tea. Choose appropriately.

134.4 Excedrin at 128 lbs? I think I'd have died of acute liver failure from the acetaminophen after about 40. Not to mention, 2 Excedrin is enough caffeine to make me sick. Ah, oh well. It's a neat generator.

I'm a little surprised that I'm not dead by caffeine yet.

This is interesting, but time is obviously a factor too. I know (well, strongly believe) I couldn't drink 316 cokes (160 lbs) fast enough. I don't even think I could do 150 Vaults. But 55 max strength No-Doz...sure, if I really wanted. So I'm wondering if they look at this in an instantaneous way. Like if you put the pure caffeine equivalent of those things in a syringe and shot up. Who knows, but like I said, interesting.

Do believe with all that volume, death by water intoxication
would take place well before the caffeine would kill ya.

I actually did the math one day and as mother hub points out above it's the water which is the most toxic ingredient in almost any caffeine laced drink. The logical result is that one should make sure that the caffeine content is as high as possible to minimize your exposure to all that highly toxic water.
