Yay! Daddy’s home and we are on our way to attend Ykaie’s Recognition Day!
Jitterbeans, My caffeine in a box!
Looking for caffeine in a box? Something that can help you stay awake, keep the blood boiling or keep your eyes open until there’s coffee or cola in hand?
Well, I think I may have just found out the solution to your problem. I found these Jitterbeans when I was grocery shopping at Robinsons. Costs ₱50.
It says on the box that this is gourmet chocolate candy caffeine…
… but it’s actually candy-coated, chocolate-covered coffee beans that taste, well, like chocolate and coffee. But it also says on the box that it has guarana in it.
Guarana has one of the highest concentrations of caffeine in any plant, and has become a popular ingredient in energy supplement.
Just in case you’re wondering just how much caffeine is in a box of Jitterbeans… It says here that it has approximately 250mg of caffeine. It is equal to 2½ mugs of coffee or three energy drinks or 4.6 cand of cola.
Pretty cool, huh?
We Have New Street Sweepers
These are the new street sweepers in our community…just kidding. It’s Ykaie {my darling daughter} and Cyra {my niece}. This is one of the chores they’ve been assigned to do one afternoon.
Usually, they are the ones who litters the street with leaves and paper cut-outs but this time it’s the other way around. They have to sweep the dry leaves and food wrappers from it. My aunt {their mamita} assigned them to do the sweeping and they did so willingly — I think this is in exchange of ₱5 each.
