I felt my heart bursting through my chest like the Kool Aid man
I purchased this coffee looking for a jolt. I firmly embrace the "work hard, play hard" mentality, and thought this could help me cut down on 3-4 cups of coffee per day to keep myself at a high energy level. The first time I broke out Deathwish was a Saturday morning. I brewed myself some coffee with a roommate, and proceeded to have two large mugs of it.
About 20 minutes later, I felt my heart bursting through my chest like the Kool Aid man. I turned down to my arms, and realized I was shaking, no, VIBRATING, like a hummingbird. I'm talking high octane, high speed shaking. I did absolutely no research, and thought this coffee was just potent. Wrong move. I did not realize the caffeine intake was equivalent to about 10 cups of normal coffee. I went from alert to letting my family know I loved them, thinking a heart attack was imminent. It was going to be over due to coffee.
Long story short, here I am - alive, maybe even thriving. I've never been closer to the edge. I stared death right in the eyes and came out swinging. When I say I stared, I mean it. I didn't blink for 13 days.
5/5, would recommend to a friend. What a ride.
