Curious if anyone has seen these....they are new penguin mints...minus the caffeine...so they are called penguin lights...

does anyone know if these are the standard size tins? I am trying to get an amp from JMT, and if these ones will fit a CHA47 i will be rocking with this cool blue color...

Well, they aren't really new. They have been available on iFive's website for a while. But, Penguins sans caffeine? What's the point?

jlo mein · Jun 17, 2002 at 6:05 AM

attention JMT, YGPM!

JMT, have you seen these in stores? Have you made a amp for anyone using this tin?

has anyone else seen these in stores? or are they online only?

I have not even seen regular Penguin Mints. Where do you get these things? Is this iFives website the only on-line store? I like the idea of mints with caffeine. I did see a Penguin amp somewhere on line and thought it looked much nicer than the Altoids amp.

i've seen them before. i usually get my penguins at the EMS store.

http://www.thinkgeek.com has them in their caffine section (the caffinnated ones, that is).

I've seen Penguin Mints in a convenience store in Pittsburgh, PA (where I went to college) and in a cafe in Fremont, CA (where I reside now). I've also seen them in a couple of other cafes in California.

Thats a nice site.

From the "ThinkGeek" Store that Audio Redneck found:

Quote:

SHOWER SHOCK CAFFEINATED SOAP
It means what it says. Shower Shock is caffeinated soap. Soap with caffeine in it. And guess what, our caffeinated soap is even self-cleaning. Think about that for a second. Now buy some.

LOL!

In this link about the product in greater detail . . .
( http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/caffeine/5a65.shtml ) it says that the caffeine is actually absorbed through the skin! I have definitely got to get my some! Seriously!

Click below and you'll see: A whole boatload of caffeinated candy! Hehe!

Pretty wild. Check out some of the drinks they have! And they have Dr. Enuf on sale in the clearance section (Diet Dr. Enuf only).

Anybody know why they can't ship caffine to Belgium and Sweden?
