I started with a 20 oz. cup, put in four very full teaspoons of instant coffee (over twice the reccomended amount for a cup that size, not a good way to first attempt black coffee) I found the stuff undrinkable (no big surprise there) and somehow got it into my mind that adding several teaspoons of instant french vanilla cafe coffee would salvage it. Of course, this just made it worse (this stuff was getting far too strong by now) and so, in a last ditch attempt to save it, I added a packet of hot chocolate instant, as I didn't have sugar or milk. Luckily for me, I took too large a sip of this, and burnt most of my taste to where I could only barely taste it (though that little taste was scary enough), and so was able to drink about 3/4ths of the cup, before it cooled down to a point where I could actually taste the stuff, which was then promptly dumped.
On the negative side, I now have a taste in my memory that may scar me for life. On the plus side, though, with three seperate caffinated sources, each added in too large an amount for that size cup, I think I just got enough caffine to stay up until midday saturday. This is definitely one trick I don't plan to pull again.

you grab as many different types of pop (soda, pop, whatever you want to call it) [ 01-24-2002: Message edited by: Mr. Duck ]
dump them into 1 large cup , put sugar on ice. then put the ice into the drink..keep you up for a week
OR
There are two new flavors of Jolt out now. Electric Blue (sucks, don't drink it), and RedEye (Jolt version of Red Dew 
).
If all else fails, add some of the coffee concentrate to some Orange Jolt.
Make a hot chocolate, but use cofee rather than hot water.
Nummy, and loaded with caffein and sugar goodness!

And don't even talk to me about pop, since even the most highly caffinated pop has like 0.3% of the caffine of coffee. 
I also highly suggest you try coffee with a dash of coconut milk. Very yummy 
I can't make it again. Sniffle.

Haha, I know that feeling from last night, when I added the french vanilla coffee . "Great, now I've gone from nauseatingly undrinkable, to nauseatingly undrinkable with a hint of vanilla. What improvement."
I will give the stuff credit, though. That did turn into an all-nighter, I ended up getting less than 2 hours sleep. However, I wan't even slightly tired in classes this morning, and it's now 9:00 PM, and I'm still not getting too tired. It did its job perfectly.
I'll probably try it again in about a month or two, once I've forgotten the taste, and once again need to get work done far more than I need to sleep. [ 01-25-2002: Message edited by: Chalesm ]

Oh to be 18 again.
Sludge, my dears, is actually a good thing at times. I can consume nigh-solid coffee. Eating chocolate covered espresso beans by the pound is more enjoyable, but gets expensive. Follow it with a little bit of tabasco-coated popcorn for true wakey-wakey goodness.
Oh, and to strengthen your coffee, simply add more grounds to the stainer. It's ground to water ratio that determines coffee strength.
And don't forget to stretch regularly... the body will remain more alert if you keep muscle fatigue away.
