Brooklyn Coffee Shop Goes 10 Loko

You can take the caffeine out of Four Loko, but you can't take the caffeine out of caffeine! Just try, FDA. Anyway, according to the Daily News, The Pulp & The Bean in Crown Heights is serving up a 10-shot espresso drink, which the owner—Tony Fisher—likens to "jet fuel." The drink, dubbed Dieci, just went on sale this week, and the sign outside the shop says it's "coffee porn in a cup" (whatever that means). The jolted up drink will cost you 8 bucks, and Fisher says "it's never been done before"... though warned of his creation, "I drank a third of it. I'm still spinning." So now you know where to go after tonight's vigil.

Lawsuit in the first week after some idiot with a previously undiagnosed heart condition guzzles one down.

Why not just cram ground coffee beans down your throat?

There are culinary ways to ingest caffeine, WITHOUT the automatic ulcer & inability to taste anything for hours, and then theirs children playing in the kitchen.

I've bought 4 and 8 shot iced espressos from Starbucks. I guess caffeine affects people differently.

I want to like the coffee shop/super market across the street from me, but the proprietor is such a next-level creep that I just can't deal. Yikes.
