Grinds

A friend of mine, former banker, just passed this on to me: http://www.getgrinds.com/

He got started dipping while he was an analyst and couldn't kick the habit. I guess the combination of energy boost + similar feeling to pouches worked for him. Thought y'all might find it interesting.

 

My accounting prof started chocolate covered coffee beans company and he distributed them in class. They keep you awake much better than brewed coffee. Similar idea. It's genius that people came up with a way to drop tobacco and use coffee as a substitute.

 

I love chocolate covered espresso beans, but I love them so much I eat too many haha

I personally haven't tried them, but I'd definitely like to try the mocha... any chance they're going to create one that tastes like coffee?

This is actually really cool. I wonder how comparable the buzz is.

Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.
 

Just got the sampler pack in the mail. Taste is not bad. Smell is definitely not as potent as opening a can of tobacco. The buzz is pretty tame. Don't expect two of these pouches to equal two tobacco pouches as far as buzz goes.

Tried "dipping" coffee grind powder once (outside the pouch) - I felt like I was buzzing for the first time in months. Are there any downsides to this stuff?
